Hire Kubernetes developers

What clients hire Kubernetes engineers to build

Kubernetes is the standard platform for running containers at scale and the base of most internal developer platforms. Our Kubernetes engineers build multi-tenant clusters on EKS, AKS, GKE or on-premises, run GitOps with ArgoCD or Flux, enforce policy with Kyverno or OPA, and add autoscaling, observability and cost controls. On Case T-02, they re-platformed a 10M+ user telecom backend at 99.95% availability.

  • Internal developer platforms with GitOps
  • Multi-tenant clusters with policy guardrails
  • GPU inference platforms for AI workloads

Kubernetes hiring questions

Book a scoping call

Submit the role, level and start date and you receive named, vetted Kubernetes candidates within 72 hours, or a 48-hour shortlist in the self-serve flow. After approval, a bench engineer starts within 4 working days. Specialists not currently on the bench also start within 4 working days.

3 bands only, written as Mid (2–⁠5 years), Senior (5–⁠9 years) and Lead (9+ years). We do not place junior engineers. The practice lead confirms seniority during vetting, so a Senior Kubernetes engineer has shown Senior-level judgement in our assessment, not just on a CV.

Pricing is by quotation. Your itemised proposal prices each seat by level, practice and engagement model, and we email it within 2 minutes of your request. The rate includes equipment, security tooling, governance and replacement cover, with no placement or exit fees. Quotations are itemised and valid for 30 days.

Candidates complete a live technical exercise and a practical task built around Kubernetes in real conditions, reviewed by the Cloud & Complex Systems practice lead. Only 3.4% of applicants pass 5 gates. Certifications are verified with the issuer but never replace the practical assessment.

Yes. Open the Squad Builder, add Kubernetes roles alongside QA, DevOps or design seats, and see bench availability; your quote arrives by email. Squads run under one lead, one Statement of Work and one invoice, and every seat carries the same 4-working-day start and replacement terms.

Yes. Engineers build and operate clusters on bare metal, VMware, OpenShift or sovereign cloud regions as well as on managed services. They handle networking, storage, upgrades and backup for self-managed clusters, which regulated clients often need when data must stay inside a specific facility or country.

CKS-certified engineers apply admission control, network policies, image signing with Sigstore, least-privilege RBAC and runtime detection, and store secrets in Vault or a cloud key manager. Clusters are benchmarked against CIS guidance, and findings are tracked like any other engineering backlog item.

Not always. For a few services, managed container platforms or serverless functions can be simpler and cheaper to run. Platform Engineers assess team size, workload count and operational maturity, and recommend Kubernetes only when its flexibility outweighs the operating effort it brings.
