About The Position

At Hasbro, our mission is to entertain and connect generations of fans through the wonder of storytelling and exhilaration of play. We’re looking for adventurous and curious people who want to explore, experiment, and innovate to come up with the best ideas. Our culture has inspired our diverse team of highly skilled, highly creative, and highly committed individuals for 100 years and we believe the best is yet to come. The Principal Cloud Platform Engineer is a hands-on technical leader who builds the core foundations other engineers depend on every day. This role is for someone who enjoys shaping shared platforms that make systems more reliable, secure, and predictable as the organization scales. You work close to the infrastructure layer, designing and building the underlying capabilities that support cloud environments, identity, connectivity, and operational visibility. The platforms you create become the default building blocks teams rely on, setting expectations for stability, consistency, and operational readiness across engineering.

Requirements

Strong systems thinking and engineering judgment from owning platform or infrastructure systems in production
Experience designing shared platforms used by multiple teams
Comfort operating in ambiguous, early-stage environments where platform foundations are still being defined
Clear, direct communication with senior engineers and technical leaders
10+ years of experience in platform, infrastructure, or systems engineering
Designed, built, or owned shared infrastructure or platform services used by multiple teams
Experience building reliable, observable distributed systems
Strong grounding in security, identity, and operational best practices
Ability to operate independently and influence technical direction without formal authority

Responsibilities

Own the technical direction for core platform foundations as they are established and evolved
Define supported patterns for how teams provision, deploy, and operate foundational services
Design and build shared platform capabilities used as the default across engineering
Establish consistent approaches for provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management
Ensure platform foundations are designed for reliability, repeatability, and safe change
Build resilience, observability, and operational guardrails directly into platform services
Anticipate failure modes and reduce blast radius through platform design
Treat platform foundations as production systems with clear ownership and operational expectations
Provide platform capabilities that teams can build on without owning underlying infrastructure
Reduce custom infrastructure work by offering reliable, well-documented defaults
Act as the technical owner for platform foundation decisions and tradeoffs
Lead design discussions through clear writing, direct feedback, and sound engineering judgment
Influence teams through credibility, clarity, and hands-on contribution
