I'd pick a hire who also knew a platform. I like Cloud Foundry because I work on it, Red Hat folk would prefer OpenShift, there's also Deis and Convox and others I am cruelly neglecting.
Containers are a building block. An important one, they make new architectures practicable. But past a certain point, rolling a custom PaaS that you will have to maintain at your own expense, with no commercial or opensource support whatsoever, forever, doesn't make much sense.
