Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Build and manage a unified multi-tenant control plane using Kubernetes, Crossplane, and Cluster API across diverse environments. Package and integrate foundational services while automating delivery workflows and ensuring a secure software supply chain.
Requires 5+ years of advanced Kubernetes engineering experience with proficiency in Go, Python, and CI/CD automation. Candidates must have deep expertise in service packaging, secure supply chain practices, and troubleshooting complex distributed systems.
Clarity Innovations is a trusted national security partner, dedicated to safeguarding our nation’s interests and delivering innovative solutions that empower the Intelligence Community (IC) and Department of Defense (DoD) to transform data into actionable intelligence, ensuring mission success in an evolving world.
Our mission-first software and data engineering platform modernizes data operations, utilizing advanced workflows, CI/CD, and secure DevSecOps practices. We focus on challenges in Information Warfare, Cyber Operations, Operational Security, and Data Structuring, enabling end-to-end solutions that drive operational impact.
We are committed to delivering cutting-edge tools and capabilities that address the most complex national security challenges, empowering our partners to stay ahead of emerging threats and ensuring the success of their critical missions. At Clarity, we are people-focused and set on being a destination employer for top talent, offering an environment where innovation thrives, careers grow, and individuals are valued. Join us as we continue to lead innovation and tackle the most pressing challenges in national security.
The position is part of a team of software and platform engineers building a unified, multi-tenant control plane driven by Kubernetes, Crossplane, and Cluster API (CAPI), that abstracts infrastructure differences across AWS, Azure, on-premises, and air-gapped environments.
As a Senior Principal Platform Engineer (Services), you will bridge the gap between development needs and production deployment environments. Instead of just managing vendor charts, you will package, configure, and extend foundational services running on Kubernetes. Utilizing Go and Python, you will automate delivery workflows and serve as the technical authority on Kubernetes networking, identity, secrets, policy, observability, and secure supply chain requirements.
The ideal candidate is a highly independent engineer capable of driving complex initiatives from inception to completion with minimal supervision. You bring strong software engineering practices to automate, validate, and scale repeatable deployments, combined with a passion for modernizing delivery systems, strengthening secure supply chains, and leveraging AI to accelerate high-quality engineering work.
Key Responsibilities
Salary Range: $120,000 - $345,000
A mission-first software and data engineering platform.
Clarity Innovations designs, develops, and deploys force-enhancing software that links human ingenuity to powerful computing and makes our country and our world a better, safer place. Our principles of servant leadership, mutual respect, and technological excellence enable us to thrive on the challenges of the digital frontline. Clarity is focused on helping the Government redefine its relationship with technology by encouraging the use of DevSecOps and Agile methodologies, small-teams constructs, and process automation. To create an atmosphere that embraces the challenges inherent in progress, we honor creativity and curiosity, supporting exploration and growth with modern tech stacks and methodologies. We are as much a family as we are a team, collectively engineering technology that improves the lives and work of the people who use it. We empower our people with the tools, training, and vision they need to outperform the competition.
