## Description

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.
