Cloud Architect (Multi Cloud)

Job Summary

We are seeking a Cloud Architect (Multi Cloud) to design strategies, reference architectures, and platform capabilities that span multiple cloud providers — AWS, Azure, GCP, and selectively OCI — for enterprises operating on more than one cloud by deliberate choice.

Key Responsibilities

• Define multi-cloud strategy, target-state architecture, and adoption guardrails across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI as relevant
• Design federated identity, SSO, and cross-cloud authorization patterns that let workloads and engineers move between providers without compromising on least-privilege, auditability, or operational simplicity
• Architect cross-cloud networking including transit hubs, private connectivity, and zero-trust patterns
• Establish reusable infrastructure-as-code patterns that abstract cloud-specific implementations where appropriate
• Design container, Kubernetes, and serverless strategies that work consistently across providers
• Drive multi-cloud observability, security monitoring, and unified policy enforcement, designing approaches that work consistently across providers and avoid the complexity of fragmented per-cloud tooling stacks
• Establish FinOps practices that operate consistently across multiple cloud providers
• Lead disaster recovery and business continuity strategies that span clouds
• Partner with security architects on multi-cloud security models, KMS strategies, and key management
• Provide guidance to engineering teams on when to use cloud-agnostic versus cloud-native patterns
• Produce high-quality architecture artifacts — context diagrams, sequence diagrams, decision records, and reference designs — that capture key technical decisions clearly enough to be understood months or years later
• Engage with cloud providers and partners to evaluate roadmap alignment
• Stay current with multi-cloud platform and tooling developments, regularly review release notes and community discussions, and translate noteworthy advances into concrete recommendations and adoption proposals for the team

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field
• Eight or more years of experience in cloud architecture roles
• Hands-on architecture experience across at least two major cloud providers
• Deep understanding of cloud networking, identity, and security across multiple providers
• Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code and policy-as-code across clouds
• Solid understanding of Kubernetes, container platforms, and managed cloud services
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Track record of leading multi-cloud architecture initiatives

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with abstraction platforms (Crossplane, Pulumi, Terraform CDK)
• Familiarity with cloud-agnostic observability platforms
• Experience driving large-scale cloud-to-cloud migrations
• Exposure to regulated industries with multi-cloud mandates
• Public talks or writing on multi-cloud architecture
