Principal Network Engineer

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. We are looking for a Principal Network Engineer to act as the technical lead for our enterprise network transformation. This is the most advanced IC role on the Network Engineering team — the creator behind the Zero Trust Network Access framework, the owner of our Palo Alto Panorama environment, and the engineer who makes critical decisions when complexity and security intersect. You will collaborate directly with the Senior Manager of Network & Cloud Infrastructure and work alongside IAM, Cloud Infrastructure, and Security teams to develop a network that is identity-verified, device-posture-checked, and enforces least privilege from edge to cloud. You will close that chapter permanently.

What You'll Do:

Act as the technical expert for the Network 2.0 ZTNA program — own the architecture, lead design reviews, establish engineering standards, and address any critical issues during implementation. Build and validate the full ZTNA architecture across all primary and international sites — defining network zones, segmentation policy, and device posture requirements that eliminate lateral movement risk Own Palo Alto Panorama at the platform level — template hierarchy, device group build, policy push governance, and configuration drift elimination across all on-premises and cloud-connected NGFWs Develop the AWS and Palo Alto Panorama cloud integration — specifying how cloud-native firewall policy, VPC topology, and on-premises ZTNA fabric come together within a unified enforcement plane Lead the Palo Alto Cloud Identity Engine (CIE) architecture (Year 2, joint with IAM): build the identity-to-network enforcement model, author the network zone taxonomy, and own the IP-to-identity rule migration that eliminates all IP-based user firewall rules Guide GlobalProtect architecture choices — agent setup, split tunneling policy, certificate trust chain, and version compliance standards maintained through Intune Author and maintain the network architecture documentation, build decision records, and runbook library that the broader team completes tasks from — you write the standard; the team operates to it. Lead the global site topology mapping effort by detailing all international sites. Define the tiered support model and produce the hardware refresh sequencing plan linked to the ZTNA rollout waves. Partner with the Automation / Network Reliability Engineer to build self-healing policy frameworks, Panorama API automation patterns, and pipeline standards for network configuration changes Represent Network Engineering in cross-functional architecture reviews alongside IAM, Cloud Infrastructure, Security, and Central Technology — you are the network perspective in discussions where enterprise architecture is determined
