Back in 2015, Pavlo already had solid DevOps experience. Together with his colleague Oleksandr they decided it was time to build something of their own — that’s how NETFORCE Ukraine was born. The first clients were companies Pavlo and Oleksandr had worked with before. In parallel they started an educational track — this is how ITEDU appeared. Since 2017, NETFORCE Ukraine has been fully focused on delivering DevOps services and
infrastructure administration for businesses.-

In 2015 Pavlo and Oleksandr decided to create what they themselves once lacked: practical training for DevOps engineers and system administrators. At that time, the market had almost no programs that gave not only theory but also hands-on experience — they closed that gap. That’s how ITEDU was born. “I always wanted to teach. It was in me — a skill waiting for its time,” recalls Pavlo, founder of NETFORCE.

We didn’t plan to launch another job platform. But the market suggested the idea itself: when clients repeatedly asked us to find a DevOps specialist, we realized it was time to make it convenient and systematic. So in 2023 NF Jobs appeared — a service focused on DevOps and system administration.

Even before 2022 the NETFORCE team noticed a clear client need: beyond technical support, companies often needed help finding specialists. We were constantly hiring for our own team, so we knew how to do it quickly. This led to the idea of a separate direction — NETFORCE Agency — focused on sourcing technical specialists for business. Today, companies come to us when they need to find the right candidate with specific requirements or within short timelines. Even with a compact client base, we’ve already relaunched vacancies with several of them.

A few interesting facts about NETFORCE Group
NETFORCE’s first employee was an SMM manager who joined even before the larger team launched.
She created the first posts and helped establish communications.
-
The first clients came with zero advertising — only through personal recommendations. These early customers helped build a reputation that lasts to this day.
-
One of the first recruiting tracks was finding DevOps engineers for a foreign startup. We had to find a candidate in 4 days — and we did.
-
At the beginning, NF Ukraine participated in open technical tenders. We won thanks to experience and a flexible approach to projects.
February 24
didn’t put a full stop
When the full-scale invasion began, we didn’t stop — we became even more united.
We kept working, growing projects, supporting clients, and launching new initiatives — despite everything.
Everyone on the team continued to receive salaries on time.
The founders arranged advances with clients to support the team during the hardest first weeks.
Some colleagues left, some stayed — but wherever we are, we remain one team.
Today we are a community that has endured challenges, adapted, and keeps developing.
we are always
happy to hear from you
