We are looking for a highly experienced Kubernetes/Linux engineer to test a confidential technical environment involving Kubernetes ingress and production-style troubleshooting. You must be very comfortable with Linux, Kubernetes, kubectl, and understand what realistic command outputs, remediation paths, and incident workflows should look like inside a large engineering organisation. We are specifically looking for someone who has worked in real production environments and has previous on-call or incident-response experience. This is not an implementation or support role. Your job will be to act as an experienced engineer, work through a technical setup, and give direct feedback on and whether the workflow reflects how things are actually handled. We especially want someone confident enough to say, “this is not how an engineer/team would do this,” and explain why. Full details, access, and commercial context will only be shared after NDA signature. This is a short-term role: we expect either 0.5–1 day initially, then a further 0.5 day the following week. Weekend work is fine. If the engagement goes well, this may become an ongoing arrangement for a couple of days per month across multiple projects. Ideal background • Strong Linux command-line skills • Strong Kubernetes production experience • Experience debugging ingress / service / endpoint / readiness / DNS issues • Prior on-call or incident-response experience • Able to provide clear written feedback and practical suggestions To apply, please include • Your years of Kubernetes production experience • A short note on your on-call/incident background • Which Kubernetes environments/controllers you’ve used • One example of a relevant production incident you’ve worked on

Kubernetes | Linux | Ingress Troubleshooting | Production Incident Response Hi, I can step in as a production-experienced engineer to validate your Kubernetes environment and give direct, honest feedback on how closely it reflects real-world workflows. I have 15+ years of DevOps/SRE experience, with 6+ years in Kubernetes production environments, including on-call rotations and incident response. I’m comfortable debugging ingress, services, endpoints, readiness probes, DNS, and networking issues using kubectl and system-level tools. I’ve worked with EKS, self-managed Kubernetes (kubeadm/K3s), and Nginx/ALB ingress controllers. I focus on how things are actually handled in production—triage, logs/metrics correlation, rollback decisions, and clear remediation paths. Example incident: Handled a production outage where ingress misconfiguration + failing readiness probes caused intermittent 502s. Traced via logs + endpoints, corrected probe config, and stabilized rollout without downtime. I’m comfortable reviewing workflows critically and calling out what doesn’t reflect real engineering practices. Quick questions: Which ingress controller is in use? Any specific scenarios you want validated? Available for short-term engagement and follow-up. Regards, Rahul

Hi, This sounds like exactly the kind of work I enjoy getting into a system, thinking like a production engineer, and calling out what feels real vs what doesn’t. I come from a Linux-first background and spend a lot of time working close to the system layer debugging, analyzing behavior, and understanding how things actually break in real environments. I’m very comfortable with kubectl, reading cluster state, and tracing issues across ingress, services, endpoints, DNS, and container-level problems. While my Kubernetes journey is still growing in terms of long-term production years, I’ve been deeply focused on understanding how real systems behave under pressure especially from a debugging and reverse-engineering mindset. That means I don’t just follow playbooks; I question them. If something feels artificial or unrealistic, I will call it out clearly and explain what an actual engineer or on-call responder would do instead.

Hello, I have ~2+ years of hands-on DevOps experience working with Kubernetes in production environments, primarily on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). I regularly work with kubectl, Linux systems, and have strong experience debugging ingress, service routing, DNS resolution, and pod readiness issues. In my current role, I manage microservices deployments on Kubernetes with NGINX Ingress, implement liveness/readiness probes, autoscaling, and handle real-time monitoring using Prometheus and Grafana. I’ve also been actively involved in incident response and root cause analysis (RCA), reducing MTTR through structured debugging and alerting systems. Example incident: I handled a production issue where services were intermittently failing due to misconfigured ingress routing and backend health checks. I debugged using kubectl logs/describe, verified endpoints and probes, and resolved it by correcting ingress rules and readiness probe configs, restoring service stability. I have worked with AKS, NGINX Ingress Controller, Helm, and GitOps (Argo CD) workflows. I’m comfortable reviewing workflows critically and providing honest feedback on whether they reflect real-world engineering practices. Happy to proceed under NDA. And Please ignore the Weekly limit as it was setup by default by freelancer.com As this was my first project in freelancer.com, we can do the negotiation on the pricing as well. Best regards, Vivek

Hi, Happy to sign the NDA and take the review role. 1. Kubernetes experience 8+ years running K8s in production, on top of 15 years in Linux/infra. Daily work on clusters for SaaS platforms (legal-tech, agri-compliance, analytics): deployments, ingress, service mesh, upgrades. 2. On-call and incident response On-call across production for over a decade, including payment and public-facing platforms with tight SLAs. Led post-mortems, written runbooks, worked auth outages, ingress failures, DB failovers and DNS issues. 3. Environments and controllers AKS, EKS, GKE, RKE2 (HA on Claro HPE Omni), k3s, kubeadm on bare metal. Ingress: NGINX, Traefik, Istio Gateway, AWS ALB, AGIC. Mesh: Istio, Linkerd. Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Jaeger, SigNoz. 4. Relevant incident Sudden 502s on a customer service after NGINX Ingress upgrade, only on long-lived WebSocket clients. Correlated `kubectl get events` with controller logs — new version changed default `proxy-read-timeout`. Rolled back, then patched ConfigMap with explicit `proxy-read-timeout` and `proxy-send-timeout`. Post-mortem covered the detection gap; added synthetic probe for future upgrades. I give direct, honest feedback. If something feels unrealistic I say so and explain why. Available 0.5–1 day initially, follow-up half-day next week. Weekends fine.

Hello, I’m confident I can help with this project. I have hands-on experience working with Kubernetes and Linux environments, including real-world troubleshooting, production support, and infrastructure operations. I have frequently handled Kubernetes-related tasks such as: • Investigating ingress routing issues • Debugging service, endpoint, and readiness probe problems • DNS/network connectivity troubleshooting • Reviewing kubectl outputs and cluster behavior • Production incident analysis and remediation steps • Validating whether operational workflows are realistic and efficient I’m comfortable working directly from the command line and understand how incidents are typically handled inside engineering teams where speed, accuracy, communication, and root-cause analysis matter. My background includes working with Kubernetes environments where uptime and operational stability were important, so I understand the difference between theory and what actually works in production. What makes me a strong fit for this role is that I can provide honest and practical feedback. If a workflow does not reflect how experienced engineers would realistically respond, I will explain clearly why and suggest a better operational approach. I’m available for the short-term engagement, including weekend work if needed, and I’d be glad to support any ongoing projects afterward. Looking forward to discussing further under NDA.
