Cloud FinOps Platform Engineer

Hasbro•Renton, WA

About The Position

Our cloud environment 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 Cloud FinOps Platform Engineer, you will build the cost management capabilities of the cloud platform itself—ensuring teams can understand, attribute, and optimize their cloud usage through standardized, automated, and self-service mechanisms. This role functions within the platform scope, embedding FinOps practices into cloud foundations, guardrails, and automation workflows, rather than managing costs through manual reporting or one-off analysis. Success in this role means cost management becomes predictable, visible, and scalable, without increasing operational overhead.

Requirements

Demonstrated ability in cloud engineering, DevOps, FinOps, or platform engineering
Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
Clear understanding of cloud cost drivers, billing models, and usage patterns
Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code and automation tools (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation, etc.)
Experience with cloud commitment models (Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, or equivalents)
Familiarity working with cost optimization vendors or managed FinOps platforms
Background in using cloud cost tools such as Flexera, CloudZero, CloudHealth, or native cloud cost platforms
Familiarity with cost allocation strategies (tagging, chargeback/showback models)
Understanding of FinOps lifecycle principles (Inform, Optimize, Operate)
Strong systems thinking and ability to work at the platform level
Ability to translate technical usage into financial insight
Experience working across engineering, finance, and platform teams
Clear communication and documentation skills

Responsibilities

Build Cost-Aware Platform Foundations: Implement cost allocation standards (tagging, labeling, account structure) across cloud environments. Embed cost transparency into platform provisioning workflows and templates. Ensure cloud resources are built with consistent, enforceable cost attribution.
Expand Cost Visibility & Tooling: Integrate and operate cloud expense management 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 show-back 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.
Embed FinOps throughout Platform Automation: Integrate 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.
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. Contribute documentation, examples, and reference patterns for cost-aware design.
Improve Cost Efficiency Over Time: Identify systemic cost inefficiencies and drive platform-level improvements. Support automation of rightsizing, reservation strategies, and usage optimization patterns. Work with Finance and platform leadership to align forecasting, budgeting, and usage trends.
Vendor Optimization & Commitment Management: Include suggestions from suppliers within platform automation and governance workflows. Ensure commitment strategies (Savings Plans and Reserved Instances) are aligned with usage patterns and platform standards. Translate vendor insights into repeatable, scalable optimization patterns.
