Find Go engineers shipping Kubernetes

The list above ranks the most-starred public Go repositories tagged with the Kubernetes topic, drawn from the public GitHub graph. Across 2,442 matching repositories, the contributors are a tight cluster of engineers with both Go chops and real Kubernetes experience.

That overlap is rare. Most Go engineers haven’t shipped Kubernetes, and most Kubernetes maintainers don’t write Go. The people on this list’s contributor graph are the ones who do both.

Refolk turns this list into a search. Ask for Go Kubernetes maintainers hiring” or Go engineers shipping Kubernetes in 2025” and Refolk returns a ranked shortlist with the commits, profiles, and projects behind each name.

How this list is built

Refolk searched GitHub for public Go repositories tagged with the Kubernetes topic, ranked them by stargazer count, and kept those with at least 25 stars. The list refreshes once a day.
