Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Operate and maintain on-premises DevOps infrastructure, including GitLab CI/CD, Nexus, and Kubernetes clusters. Focus on reliability, security, and incremental improvements to existing platform solutions and monitoring tools.
Requires a STEM degree with 8+ years of experience (or equivalent) and an active Top-Secret/SCI clearance. Must have practical experience with on-prem Kubernetes, GitLab, Nexus, and Linux administration.
Northrop Grumman’s Space Sector is seeking a Sr Principal DevOps Engineer to join our team in Aurora, CO to support on-premises mission systems by operating, maintaining, and incrementally enhancing existing DevOps and platform solutions. The engineer will work within established architectures and standards rather than designing new solutions, focusing on reliability, security, and continuous improvement of current environments. The position can be based in Fairfax, VA.
Operate and maintain existing GitLab CI/CD infrastructure including patching and permissions. Advise on updates to jobs, runners, variables, and approvals to improve stability and throughput.
Administer Nexus artifact repositories including patching, backups, access management, repository configuration, cleanup/retention policies, and routine health checks.
Maintain Apache NiFi infrastructure including patching, troubleshooting, performance tuning, and implementing changes defined by senior engineers.
Support installation and day-to-day operations of Kubernetes on-prem clusters, including patching, storage management, deployments, rollouts/rollbacks, configuration updates, and resource adjustments.
Maintain and extend monitoring and alerting using Grafana and Prometheus for on-prem infrastructure and applications, including patching, access control, refining dashboards, alert rules, and service onboarding within existing observability patterns.
Implement incremental improvements to existing DevOps tooling and workflows (e.g., adding tests, improving pipeline stages, automating manual steps) consistent with established designs and security baselines.
Perform routine incident response and problem resolution for build, deployment, and runtime issues across CI/CD, Kubernetes, Nexus, NiFi, and supporting services.
Apply existing security and compliance controls across the DevOps toolchain: secrets management, access controls, certificate and credential rotation, image scanning, and log retention in accordance with program requirements.
Follow formal change management processes, including documenting changes, participating in reviews, and updating runbooks, SOPs, and technical documentation.
Collaborate with senior engineers, system administrators, and developers to implement improvements and operational changes defined by leads and architects.
