We are currently tracking 181 live vacancies matching senior Kubernetes jobs in the UK, advertised by 102 different employers. 52 of them were first seen in the last seven days. The most active employers in this slice are F5Consultants, Michaelbaileyassociates, Winton and Langchain. Every role is detected on the employer's own careers page rather than reposted from another board, so what you see here is the vacancy as the employer wrote it.

Of the 181 roles, 21 publish a salary. The median advertised ceiling is £85,000. The middle half of the market sits between £75,000 and £97,250, so anything above the upper figure is a genuinely strong offer for senior Kubernetes jobs in the UK. Contract day rates are annualised at 230 working days a year, so permanent and contract pay compare like for like.

On working pattern, 47% are fully remote and 24% are hybrid. By seniority, 100% at senior level. Filter by any of these on the left.

Employers hiring for Kubernetes in this slice most often ask for it alongside Python, AWS, React, Docker, Java and TypeScript. That co-occurrence is counted from the live listings on this page, not from a fixed list, so it moves with the market.

Job titles employers are advertising

The exact titles on the live vacancies in this search, most common first.

Questions about these roles

How many senior Kubernetes jobs in the UK are there right now?

We are tracking 181 live vacancies across 102 employers. The crawler revisits employer careers pages continuously and roles disappear from this page as soon as they come down, so the count reflects what is genuinely open today.

What do senior Kubernetes jobs in the UK pay?

The median advertised ceiling is £85,000, based on the 21 of these roles that publish a figure. The middle half of the market runs from £75,000 to £97,250. Contract day rates are annualised so they compare against permanent salaries.

Can these roles be done remotely?

47% are advertised as fully remote and 24% as hybrid. The rest are on-site or do not say — where an employer is silent we leave it blank rather than guessing.

Are these contract or permanent roles?

Every role here that states a basis is permanent. Contract vacancies are listed separately.

Which employers are hiring?

The most active right now are F5Consultants, Michaelbaileyassociates, Winton, Langchain and Xapien. Every vacancy links straight to that employer's own careers page — we are an aggregator, not the hiring company, and there is no middleman between you and the application.

What other skills do these roles ask for?

Most often Python, AWS, React, Docker and Java. That is counted from the live adverts on this page rather than a fixed list, so it tracks what employers are asking for this month.

How much does a Kubernetes developer earn in the UK?

£85,000 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 55% above the £55,000 median across UK IT as a whole. Read it as the ceiling an employer is advertising towards rather than an offer: 160 of these adverts name no figure at all, and those are the ones where asking early is worth most.

Can you work from home as a Kubernetes developer in the UK?

129 of the 181 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 85 fully remote and 44 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.

Are there entry-level or graduate Kubernetes developer jobs in the UK?

Not right now — every live advert here signals mid-level experience or above. Graduate intakes are seasonal, so this is worth checking again rather than reading as a permanent state of the market.

What job titles are used for this role?

Employers on this page advertise it as Senior Software Engineer, Senior Platform Engineer, Senior DevOps Engineer, Senior Data Engineer and Senior Backend Engineer. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
