Why It Matters

A cluster left on autopilot fails quietly, then all at once

Pods stuck pending, scaling rules that never fire, and a networking config nobody fully understands are common once a cluster grows past its original setup. A dedicated engineer keeps it healthy as you scale.

Scaling That Actually Works

Autoscaling rules tuned to real traffic

Default autoscaling settings rarely match real traffic patterns, which means pods either sit idle or fall behind under load. A dedicated engineer tunes scaling rules against actual usage, and adjusts them as traffic patterns change.

Autoscaling tuned to real traffic.
Resource requests and limits set correctly.
Pending pods diagnosed, not ignored.

Cluster Health, Watched

Someone watching the cluster, not just the app

Application monitoring alone misses cluster-level problems: node pressure, networking issues, or a failing deployment rollout. A dedicated engineer monitors the cluster itself, so problems surface before users notice.

Cluster health monitored, not assumed.
Rollouts that fail safely, not silently.
Networking configured deliberately.

What the Cluster Looks Like

One cluster view, checked continuously

The same monitoring structure applies whether the cluster runs a dozen pods or a few thousand.

How Hiring Works

From requirements to a working Kubernetes engineer in about two weeks

Share requirements

Tell us your current cluster setup, the workloads involved, and the problem you need solved.

Shortlist

We match engineers by production Kubernetes experience and send you 2 to 3 profiles within days.

Interview

You interview the shortlist directly and pick the engineer who fits your stack and your team.

Onboard

The engineer reviews your cluster and workloads and starts on priority work in the first week.

Scale as needed

Move the engineer to part time once the cluster is stable, or extend for the next build-out.

What's Included

Everything you need to run the engagement smoothly

🎯

Dedicated to your cluster

The engineer works only on your infrastructure, not spread across other clients' clusters.

💬

Direct communication

You and your team talk to the engineer directly, with no extra layer in between.

📅

Flexible contracts

Full time, part time, or scoped to a migration. Scale up or down with notice.

✅

Cluster health reviews

Regular reviews of scaling, networking and node health, so issues are caught early.

🌐

Timezone overlap

Working hours arranged to overlap with your team for deploys and incident response.

🔐

Replacement guarantee

If the engineer is not the right fit, we replace them at no extra cost during the engagement.

Why Us

Why teams hire Kubernetes engineers through TCB Infotech

We run production clusters ourselves

We operate client clusters in production, so our engineers are tested on real operational pressure, not trivia.

Fast, honest shortlisting

You see 2 to 3 profiles, not a stack of resumes, and we tell you plainly if a fit is not right.

Direct access, no relay

You and your team work with the engineer directly, on your tools and your cadence.

A cluster you can keep

Deployment configs, scaling rules and access are documented and handed over cleanly if the engagement ends.

No long lock-in

Scale the engagement up or down with notice, based on the cluster work you actually have.

Proven delivery

50+ ERP and software projects, with zero failed projects since 2021.

FAQ

Hiring Kubernetes engineers, answered

What does a dedicated Kubernetes engineer do?

They design and operate your cluster: deployments, scaling rules, networking and service configuration, and keep an eye on cluster health as workloads and traffic grow.

How is a Kubernetes engineer different from a Docker engineer?

A Docker engineer builds and optimizes the container images your applications run in. A Kubernetes engineer operates the cluster that runs those containers at scale. Many teams need both. See our Docker Engineers if your gap is at the image level.

Can the engineer work with our existing cluster?

Yes. The engineer can work inside your existing cluster and deployment setup, or help you design one if you are starting fresh.

Does the engineer work on a managed cluster or a self-hosted one?

Both. The role covers managed clusters on any major cloud provider as well as self-hosted clusters, whichever your setup runs on.

What is the engagement model?

You can hire full time, part time, or for the length of a specific migration or build-out. Contracts scale as your cluster grows.

What if the engineer is not the right fit?

We replace the engineer at no extra cost during the engagement, and hand over cluster documentation and access to the new one.
