Hybrid Cloud System Architect Senior

Open to hiring in our west (Grand Rapids) east (Southfield) or South (St. Joseph) regions. Must be able to work onsite one day per week at closest corporate office.

The Hybrid Cloud System Architect is a strategic full-stack hands-on architecture role responsible for designing guiding implementation of and continuously optimizing an integrated hybrid infrastructure platform spanning public cloud and on-premises data center environments. The role provides technical leadership across compute storage networking automation resilience security and observability ensuring that workloads are placed and operated according to business performance availability compliance risk and cost requirements. Unlike a cloud engineering role with incidental responsibility for on-premises infrastructure this position intentionally unifies cloud and data center architecture as a single platform capability. This is a full-time position embedded within CPO/Platform Engineering and reporting to infrastructure leadership.

• Unified infrastructure design- architects compute storage and networking solutions that treat on-premises data center and cloud as integrated platforms rather than separate silos.
• Hybrid workload orchestration- determines which workloads run where (cloud vs. data center) based on cost latency compliance and performance requirements design data flows between environments.
• SLA-based operations defines and operationalizes service level agreements spanning both environments moving from manage hardware to deliver business outcomes.
• Cost and capacity optimization- manages consumption models avoids cloud waste and plans data center refresh cycles strategically across the hybrid environment.
• Compliance and cyber resilience- enforces HIPAA-compliant data residency encryption and security controls consistently across cloud and data centerThis role isembedded in cloud platform operations (CPO) teams not in the CCOE. The CCOE sets governance but this architect executes and optimizes the hybrid platform.
• Maintains capability roadmaps.

• Cross-functional collaboration - work with cloud engineers database architects security and clinical IT teams to align hybrid decisions
• Business acumen - understand workload economics risk trade-offs and how to present hybrid decisions to leadership
• Change leadership - managing the cultural shift from siloed infrastructure (storage team networking team cloud team) to unified hybrid operations
• Adaptability - cloud and storage technologies evolve rapidly; continuous learning is non-negotiable
• Systems Thinking: Ability to understand interdependencies across applications infrastructure security operations and business processes.
• Influencing Without Authority: Ability to drive architectural outcomes across multiple teams without direct management responsibility.
• Decision Making Under Ambiguity: Ability to make informed architectural recommendations with incomplete information while balancing risk cost speed and operational complexity.
• Mentoring & Technical Leadership: Coach engineers and architects on hybrid-cloud patterns standards and best practices.
