Typical tasks

  • Autoscaling tuned to real traffic
  • Resource requests and limits set correctly
  • Pending pods diagnosed, not ignored
  • Cluster health monitored, not assumed
  • Rollouts that fail safely, not silently
  • Networking configured deliberately

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.

  • No-cost replacement

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

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.

From requirements to a working Kubernetes engineer in about two weeks

  1. Share requirements

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

  2. Shortlist

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

  3. Interview

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

  4. Onboard

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

  5. Scale as needed

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

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.
