UK-based Kubernetes engineers to design, migrate, and run production-grade clusters—without the overhead of hiring.

Hire Kubernetes Developers

We help engineering teams design, build, and operate resilient Kubernetes platforms that speed up delivery and reduce operational drag. Whether you’re adopting Kubernetes for the first time, migrating existing workloads, or scaling multi-cluster environments, we bring hands-on experience across cloud and on-prem.

You’re not buying “extra YAML hands”. We deliver a production-ready platform: secure cluster foundations, repeatable deployments, observability, and clear runbooks—plus training so your team can operate confidently.

If you need an ongoing partner, we can run and improve your Kubernetes estate with measured reliability, security hardening, and cost control. Talk to the team to scope the work and get a practical plan.

Proof that reduces risk

Short engagements, clear outcomes, and documentation you can keep.

  • Delivery-first platform work

    Ship improvements in weeks, not quarters, with a backlog tied to outcomes.

  • Security-minded defaults

    Hardening, least privilege, and supply-chain controls baked into the platform.

  • Operational clarity

    Runbooks, dashboards, and alerting aligned to on-call reality.

  • Handover you can run with

    Training + documentation so the platform isn’t a black box.

What we deliver

Outcomes across build, migration, and ongoing operations.

  • Use case

    Cluster design & provisioning

    Secure Kubernetes clusters on AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-prem, including networking and identity integration.

  • Use case

    Delivery automation (CI/CD + GitOps)

    Pipelines and GitOps workflows with Helm/Kustomize and progressive delivery where needed.

  • Use case

    Workload migration & containerisation

    Practical migration plans, container builds, and runtime patterns for legacy and modern services.

  • Use case

    Observability & incident readiness

    Metrics/logs/tracing, SLOs, dashboards, and alerting tuned to your services and teams.

  • Use case

    Managed operations & optimisation

    Patching, upgrades, performance tuning, security hardening, and cost controls.

What you get

Outcome-focused delivery, with the option of a managed service.

Production-ready by default

Secure baselines, sensible defaults, and guardrails that keep clusters stable as they grow.

Repeatable delivery with GitOps

Versioned, reviewable deployments and environment promotion using GitOps and IaC.

Built-in observability

Metrics, logs, and tracing aligned to how your teams debug and ship software.

Platform enablement

Documentation, runbooks, and enablement sessions so you’re not dependent on us.

Operations that improve over time

Ongoing tuning, patching, reliability work, and cost optimisation with clear reporting.

Ways to hire us

Discovery

Architecture review, risk register, and a delivery roadmap with priorities and estimates.

Build or migration sprint

Deliver cluster foundations and move workloads in phased releases.

Managed Kubernetes (monthly)

Ongoing operations, upgrades, reliability work, and security maintenance.

Embedded platform engineer

A Kubernetes engineer working inside your team with oversight and documented outcomes.

How it works

1

Scope & success criteria

Agree outcomes, constraints, timelines, and stakeholders.

2

Assess & design

Review current state and define target architecture.

3

Build foundation

Cluster, identity, networking, policies, and delivery path.

4

Migrate & harden

Move workloads safely; add observability and security controls.

5

Handover or run

Runbooks + training, then ongoing management if required.

Tooling we commonly use

We adapt to your standards—this is a typical Kubernetes stack.

Provisioning/IaC

Terraform, Pulumi (where relevant)

Packaging & config

Helm, Kustomize

Networking & ingress

NGINX/HAProxy ingress, Cilium/Calico (as appropriate)

Observability

Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo/Jaeger
