We take play seriously. We’re looking for curious adventurers ready to find their party, fueled by imagination and drive to build what’s never been built before. At Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast, you’ll collaborate with passionate teams to reimagine our iconic brands and create experiences that spark joy, connection, and community through the magic of play. This is your chance to shape legendary play that lasts a lifetime.
Role Overview
The cloud platform underpins how services are built, deployed, and operated across the organization. As adoption scales, cost visibility, allocation, and optimization must be engineered into the platform, not managed reactively.
As a Senior Cloud FinOps Platform Engineer, you will lead the development and evolution of the cost management capabilities of the cloud platform—ensuring teams can understand, attribute, and optimize their cloud usage through standardized, automated, and self-service mechanisms.
This role operates at the platform layer, embedding FinOps practices into cloud foundations, guardrails, and automation workflows, rather than managing costs through manual reporting or one-off analysis. You will provide technical leadership for cloud optimization initiatives and help establish reusable FinOps patterns and standards across the organization.
Success in this role means cost management becomes predictable, transparent, actionable, and scalable, with measurable financial outcomes and decreasing operational overhead.
What You’ll Do
Build Cost-Aware Platform Foundations
- Design and evolve cost allocation standards (tagging, labeling, account structure) across cloud environments
- Embed cost insight into platform provisioning workflows and templates
- Ensure cloud resources are created with consistent, enforceable cost attribution
Expand Cost Visibility & Tooling
- Lead the integration and ongoing development of cloud cost platforms and automation such as Flexera, CloudZero, or equivalent aggregation tools, and cost optimization tools like ProsperOps
- Enable cross-cloud cost visibility, unit cost analysis, and business-level attribution, including a showback model
- Build and maintain cost dashboards, alerts, budgets, and reporting pipelines for engineering and stakeholders
- Improve visibility into shared services, platform costs, and unallocated spend
- Evaluate emerging FinOps capabilities and recommend improvements based on measurable platform and business value
Embed FinOps into Platform Automation
- Define and implement patterns for integrating cost controls into Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and CI/CD workflows
- Automate detection of cost anomalies, unused resources, and optimization opportunities
- Ensure cost guardrails are enforced through policy and automation, not manual review
- Identify recurring manual FinOps activities and drive their replacement with scalable automation
Enable Cost-Aware Engineering
- Partner with engineering teams to improve cost transparency and accountability
- Provide guidance on cost-efficient usage patterns aligned with platform standards
- Establish documentation, examples, and reference patterns for cost-aware design
- Mentor engineers and help teams incorporate cloud economics into architecture and engineering decisions
Improve Cost Efficiency Over Time
- Identify systemic cost inefficiencies and lead platform-level improvements
- Drive automation and adoption of rightsizing, reservation strategies, and usage optimization patterns
- Work with Finance and platform leadership to align forecasting, budgeting, and usage trends
- Measure realized savings and optimization outcomes against forecasts and recommendations
Vendor Optimization & Commitment Management
- Lead the technical evaluation and integration of supplier-provided recommendations within platform automation and governance workflows
- Evaluate commitment strategies such as Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, and equivalent offerings against usage patterns, forecasts, architecture changes, and business risk
- Translate vendor insights into repeatable, scalable optimization patterns
- Partner with our cloud providers to identify new optimization opportunities and validate realized outcomes
What You’ll Bring
Experience & Skills
- 5–8+ years of experience in cloud engineering, DevOps, FinOps, platform engineering, or related technical disciplines
- Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
- Solid understanding of cloud cost drivers, billing models, usage patterns, and optimization strategies
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code and automation tools (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation, etc.)
- Experience evaluating and implementing cloud commitment models (Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, or equivalents)
- Experience working with cost optimization vendors or managed FinOps platforms
FinOps & Tooling
- Experience with cloud cost tools such as Flexera, CloudZero, CloudHealth, ProsperOps, or native cloud cost platforms
- Experience with cost allocation strategies (tagging, chargeback/showback models)
- Good understanding of FinOps lifecycle principles (Inform, Optimize, Operate)
- Ability to translate cost and usage data into actionable engineering and platform recommendations
Engineering & Collaboration
- Strong systems thinking and ability to work at the platform level
- Ability to translate technical usage into financial insight and measurable business outcomes
- Experience working across engineering, Finance, cloud providers, vendors, and platform teams
- Ability to lead technical initiatives and influence standards without direct authority
- Experience mentoring engineers and sharing technical practices across teams
- Clear communication and documentation skills
