Skill guide

What to know about Kubernetes

Originally developed at Google and now maintained under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, Kubernetes orchestrates containers across a cluster, handling scheduling, scaling, service discovery and rolling updates. US teams run it on EKS, GKE or AKS to host microservices, background workers and internal platforms. The gap between someone who can apply a manifest and someone who can operate a cluster is large. Look for experience with Helm or Kustomize, resource requests and limits, autoscaling, network policies and RBAC, plus a calm approach to debugging pods stuck in CrashLoopBackOff or waiting to be scheduled.

Vetting

How we vet Kubernetes engineers

A Kubernetes engineer has to clear three stages before joining Dev-Hire. We review their profile and the infrastructure they have run by hand, then hold a communication check, because on-call and incident work demands clear updates. A senior engineer leads the technical interview, covering infrastructure as code, CI/CD design, networking, security and cost awareness, plus an incident scenario where the candidate diagnoses a failing deployment. Only the top 1.5% of applicants are accepted and published.

Typical engagements

Own a CI/CD migration from Jenkins to GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
Move hand-built cloud infrastructure into Terraform with reviewable plans and separate environments
Set up monitoring, alerting and on-call runbooks so incidents are caught before customers notice
