Why Austin

Kubernetes consulting services
built for Austin's market

Austin is home to THNKBIG's headquarters. As the Texas tech economy has matured — Oracle, Apple, Tesla, and Meta all have significant Austin footprints — the demand for senior platform engineering has grown with it. We serve both the large enterprise campuses in the Domain and the cloud-native startups in East Austin who need Kubernetes expertise without the overhead of a big consulting firm.

Key Industries

Serving Austin's top verticals

💻

Technology & SaaS

Austin's booming SaaS ecosystem needs platforms that scale from Series A to IPO without re-architecting. We build for that future from day one.

⚡

Semiconductor & Hardware

Dell Technologies, NXP, and a cluster of chip design firms in Austin need reliable CI/CD pipelines for complex firmware and embedded software workflows.

🏛️

State & Local Government

Texas state agencies and Austin city departments modernizing on cloud need compliant, cost-efficient platforms — we've built them.

🏥

Healthcare & Life Sciences

From Dell Medical School spinouts to multi-site health systems, Austin healthcare companies need HIPAA-grade Kubernetes platforms.

Why THNKBIG

Senior engineers, not
account managers

We've helped Austin companies at every stage — from startups moving off Heroku to enterprise teams taming 50-cluster Kubernetes sprawl at companies like Dell and Oracle. If your engineers are spending more time on infrastructure than product, that's a solved problem. We staff every engagement with battle-tested US engineers, not offshore contractors. You talk directly to the people building your infrastructure.

FAQ

Common questions from Austin teams

Do you work with Austin startups or just enterprise?
Both. We have engagement models for Series A/B startups that need to grow their platform quickly, and enterprise programs for Austin's Fortune 500 campuses. The engineering approach is the same — we just scope the engagement to match where you are.
How quickly can you start?
Most engagements kick off within 5–10 business days. We start with a cloud audit, then move into sprint-based delivery.
Do we need to commit to a long-term contract?
No. We offer month-to-month engagements and fixed-scope projects. Most clients start with a 90-day pilot.
Will your team work within our existing tools and workflows?
Yes. We embed with your team using your Jira, Slack, GitHub, and CI tooling. We're an extension of your org, not a separate vendor.
