Kubernetes developer salaries in London
What Kubernetes roles actually advertise in London, measured from reportable live vacancies on public careers and vacancy pages rather than survey responses.
These figures come from 36 vacancies that published a salary, out of 278 live Kubernetes roles in London. Each was read from a reportable vacancy on a public careers or vacancy page — advertised pay, not candidate-reported earnings.
Where a range is advertised we use its midpoint. Day and hourly rates are excluded from this annual-salary benchmark rather than converted into a nominal annual figure.

How we measure this
We observe public careers and vacancy pages, classify reportable UK vacancies against a published taxonomy, and use the midpoint of stated annual salary ranges. Day and hourly rates remain separate.
