What to look for in a Docker freelancer
A strong Docker expert should think about images, layers, and networking, not just wrap a command in a container. Look for:
- Lean, secure images: multi-stage builds, minimal base images, and no secrets baked in.
- Solid Compose and networking skills, so multi-container setups talk to each other cleanly.
- Comfort with your CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or whatever you already run.
- An eye for build performance, using caching and layer order to speed up every build.
- Awareness of what comes next, like handing containers off to Kubernetes or a cloud runtime.
Ask a candidate to explain how they cut a large image down to size. The way they describe layers and caching tells you how deep their experience really goes.
