Hire Kubernetes engineers for clusters you can trust in production

Kubernetes can run anything, and it can fail in ways that are hard to understand at two in the morning. Cubehire Kubernetes engineers build clusters with sensible defaults, GitOps deployments, resource limits and observability, so your platform is predictable rather than mysterious.

The work

What our Kubernetes Engineers build

Typical projects companies bring a Kubernetes engineer in for.

1

Managed cluster setups

EKS, AKS or GKE clusters with networking, ingress, certificates and node autoscaling.

2

GitOps deployments

Argo CD or Flux so every change to the cluster is reviewed in Git.

3

Helm charts

Reusable, versioned charts for your services with environment specific values.

4

Cluster reliability

Resource requests, health probes, disruption budgets and upgrades without downtime.

Vetting

How we vet Kubernetes Engineers

Every Kubernetes engineer sits the Cubehire AI interview: multiple choice fundamentals, a timed written and coding round, and a recorded video round. A person on our team then reviews the profile before any company sees it. For this role, the interview checks that they can:

  1. Check 1

    Debugs a crash looping pod from events and logs in a practical scenario.

  2. Check 2

    Explains requests, limits and why a pod gets evicted or throttled.

  3. Check 3

    Plans a cluster version upgrade with zero downtime for running services.

Questions about hiring Kubernetes Engineers

What companies ask before they hire a Kubernetes engineer through Cubehire.

Talk to our team
Not always. For a handful of services, ECS, Cloud Run or App Service may be simpler. A Kubernetes engineer will tell you honestly, and if you already run Kubernetes, make it much easier to live with.
Yes. They audit the cluster, fix security and resource issues, add monitoring and then take over upgrades and day to day operations.
A way of running Kubernetes where the desired state lives in Git and a tool like Argo CD applies it. Every change is reviewed, auditable and easy to roll back.
Yes. Rightsizing requests, spot or preemptible nodes, better autoscaling and removing idle workloads often cut costs substantially.
A flat rate quoted before you interview anyone: a one time fee for full time placements, or a fixed monthly rate for contract work. There is no percentage of salary. See the pricing page for current rates.
