Hire senior Kubernetes engineers through Probegin — cluster architecture, GitOps and the operational discipline K8s demands. Profiles within days, start within two weeks, 60-day trial.
EKS/AKS/GKE cluster design: node pools, networking, ingress and the security boundaries auditors ask about.
ArgoCD/Flux-driven deployments — the cluster state in Git, drift visible, rollbacks trivial.
Resource limits, autoscaling, PodDisruptionBudgets and the runbooks that make 3 a.m. pages rare.
Internal developer platforms on K8s so product teams ship without learning kubectl.
Hire Kubernetes depth when clusters are load-bearing infrastructure. If you're pre-K8s, an honest DevOps engineer may tell you to stay that way — ours will.
Golden paths so product teams deploy without learning kubectl.
Cluster state in Git — drift visible, rollbacks trivial.
Resource discipline and runbooks that make 3 a.m. pages rare.
Senior-only for cluster-ownership roles — Kubernetes rewards experience and punishes enthusiasm, so we vet accordingly.
One specialist, embedded in your team, your standups and your tools — the classic direct model. Most placements run this way for a year or longer.
Two or three days a week for maintenance-grade or advisory work — you keep senior capability without paying for idle hours.
For outcome-scoped delivery, the specialist joins one of our implementation pods — priced on the result, not the hours.
Cloud and platform rates reflect production responsibility: an engineer holding your uptime prices above one writing pipelines. As a public anchor, Dutch IT detachering averages about €65–150 per hour (ITRC, 2026); direct nearshore hiring typically beats comparable local seniority on total cost because nothing is stacked in between. All-in rates are quoted per candidate in the intro call.
A 30-minute intake: the role, the stack, the team it lands in, the timeline it has to hit.
Two to three vetted Kubernetes engineers from our 400K+ European network — within days.
Du führst die Vorstellungsgespräche und triffst die Entscheidung. Kein Druck, wir müssen keinen Kader ausdünnen.
Verträge und Einarbeitung werden von uns übernommen. Dank einer 60-tägigen Probezeit tragen wir das Risiko.
Your Kubernetes engineers work from our network across the Netherlands, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Poland and Bulgaria — all CET ±1, all fluent English (C1), all contracted and payrolled by Probegin so compliance stays our problem, not yours.
Honest answer: not always — and our engineers will say so. When you do (multi-service estates, scaling needs, platform teams), doing it with discipline is what this bench is for.
Managed control planes by default; self-hosted only with a reason. The bench covers all three major managed offerings.
Yes — golden-path templates, ArgoCD app-of-apps and self-service namespaces are increasingly the core ask.
Profiles within days, start within two weeks, 60-day trial period.
EKS, AKS and GKE all sit on the bench; the discipline (GitOps, policy, autoscaling) transfers, and the cloud-specific sharp edges are exactly what we vet for.
The first 60 days are the proof: if the match isn't right, you say so and the placement ends without long-term obligation — or we replace the profile from the network. Most trials convert; the ones that don't cost you a conversation, not a contract.
Yes — that's the normal growth path. Many clients start with a single specialist and expand to two or five as the roadmap demands, keeping one contract and one point of contact at Probegin. Scaling down is equally simple, with reasonable notice instead of penalty clauses.
Probegin does. You get one Dutch counterparty and one invoice; employment, payroll and cross-border compliance for the specialist are our responsibility. That structure also keeps you clear of freelance-classification risk under Dutch rules.
Tell us the role today, meet your matches this week, have them on the team in two.
