Hybrid Cloud Architect

We are seeking a Multi-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. 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.
• Define container, Kubernetes, and serverless strategies that work consistently across providers.
• Design data architecture strategies for cross-cloud data movement, residency, and analytics.
• 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., Description: Weyerhaeuser is a recognized leader in sustainable forestry and wood products, committed to innovation, operational excellence, and responsible stewardship.
