Cross-Cloud Architect
Location: 100% Remote (United States)
Position Type: Full-time, Direct W2
Salary Range: $175,000–$200,000 Annually
Experience: 6+ years
About the Role
We are seeking a Cross-Cloud Architect 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. The role focuses on portability, abstraction layers, federated identity, cross-cloud networking, and platform offerings that hide cloud-specific complexity from product teams. The ideal candidate has architected meaningful multi-cloud capabilities, understands the trade-offs between portability and cloud-native depth, and brings strong opinions grounded in production experience.
Requirements
- 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
- Experience designing federated identity and SSO across cloud platforms
- Solid understanding of Kubernetes, container platforms, and managed cloud services
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- Multiple cloud certifications across providers
- 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
