Cloud Infrastructure Engineer — Google Cloud Platform for Government
United Global Technologies (UGT) | Remote (U.S.), | Full-time
UGT is hiring a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with Google Cloud (Government) experience to standardize and harden a multi-cloud environment spanning AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform for Government, supporting a leading U.S. Department of Energy open-science national laboratory in the San Francisco Bay Area. The near-term priority is remediating the Azure estate and stitching all three clouds into a consistent, governed, automated foundation that mirrors the lab''s proven AWS landing-zone patterns. You''ll be the platform backbone for a fast-moving AI engineering team.
WHAT YOU''LL DO
- Stand up and operate Google Cloud Platform for Government (supporting Gemini for Government) as a moderate enclave under a DOE contract, mirroring established AWS landing-zone patterns.
- Lead Azure remediation: redeploy landing zones, consolidate subscriptions, and align governance and CI/CD to AWS/Google Cloud Platform standards.
- Author and maintain infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD (Terraform + GitHub Actions) consistently across all three clouds.
- Implement cloud security and governance: data classification handling (CUI/SPI), network/enclave segmentation, identity, and log aggregation into the enterprise SIEM.
- Standardize landing-zone patterns for accounts, subscriptions, and projects (AWS Control Tower / Landing Zone as the reference model).
- Support the AI control plane infrastructure (LightLLM) and its connectivity to AWS Bedrock and Google Cloud Platform Gemini models.
- Partner with the AI engineers and the existing AWS engineer to drive cross-cloud consistency.
WHAT WE''RE LOOKING FOR (REQUIRED)
- 5+ years of cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering experience.
- Hands-on Google Cloud Platform experience, ideally in a public-sector / Government context.
- Strong infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and CI/CD (GitHub Actions) skills.
- Multi-cloud breadth: AWS (Landing Zone / Control Tower patterns) and Azure (landing zones, subscription management).
- Solid grasp of cloud security, identity, networking, and governance.
- U.S. citizenship or permanent residency (supports a federal / DOE environment).
- Ability to provide consistent support during Pacific Time core business hours.
NICE TO HAVE (PREFERRED)
- Direct experience with Google Gemini for Government and operating moderate enclaves under federal contract.
- Experience remediating or consolidating Azure environments at scale (landing-zone redeployment, subscription rationalization).
- DOE, national laboratory, or FedRAMP (Moderate / High) experience.
- Experience integrating cloud and platform logs into a SIEM.
- Relevant certifications (e.g., Google Professional Cloud Architect, AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator / Architect).
EMPLOYMENT & ELIGIBILITY
- Full-time, salaried UGT employee placed on a long-term, dedicated client assignment (this is not a short-term or contract-to-hire role).
- Remote within the U.S.; occasional ad hoc onsite in the San Francisco Bay Area is helpful but not required.
- Must reliably support Pacific Time core business hours.
- U.S. citizenship or permanent residency required; works with CUI/SPI in a DOE environment (no classified or ITAR work).
- Government-furnished equipment provided for the engagement.
