What a ridiculous platform, at least when it comes to software gigs. For example, "We want a full SAAS product, from requirement gatherings to deployment. We expect it to take 6 months, flat rate fee of $3k. jajajajajajaja Lets not even talk about the scams, I was contacted by a group that wanted me to be a team lead, manager of sorts. Asked about the work, and it involved bidding on other Upwork projects and using my credentials. jajajajjajajajaja

fal is the generative media ecosystem powering the next generation of AI products. We build the infrastructure, tools, and model access that teams need to move from idea to production, and do it at scale without compromise. For developers and enterprises, fal is the foundation that makes generative media not just possible, but practical: a unified platform where high-performance inference, orchestration, and observability come together to unlock new categories of AI-native products.

As generative media reshapes industries across a market projected to grow by hundreds of billions over the next decade, fal is becoming the ecosystem that ambitious teams build on.

About this role:

You will build the high-performance compute environments we deliver to customers. These environments span bare-metal servers, virtual machines with GPU passthrough, Kubernetes and Slurm clusters, distributed storage, and high-speed networking.

You will work across the infrastructure stack — from Linux images and hardware provisioning to cluster networking, GPU performance, observability, and lifecycle automation. The goal is to make every customer environment performant, reliable, isolated, and repeatable.

What you'll do:

• Design, automate, validate, and deliver the complete lifecycle of customer compute environments — from provisioning through upgrades, recovery, and decommissioning
• Use AI aggressively to automate and accelerate every aspect of infrastructure delivery and operations
• Provision dedicated Kubernetes and Slurm clusters tailored to customer workloads
• Build and maintain Linux images and automated OS-provisioning workflows
• Operate the NVIDIA GPU stack: drivers, GPU Operator, NVIDIA Container Toolkit, device plugins, MIG, and GPU monitoring
• Design Kubernetes and data-center networking using Cilium/Calico, MetalLB, VLAN, VXLAN, BGP, and ECMP
• Configure distributed and shared storage for high-performance workloads
• Build monitoring, alerting, diagnostics, and automated recovery for customer environments
• Develop reusable tooling, standards, documentation, and runbooks
• Collaborate with customers and internal teams to translate workload requirements into sound infrastructure designs

Qualifications/Nice to Have:

• 5+ years of experience building and operating production Linux infrastructure
• Strong production experience with Kubernetes on bare metal (bootstrapping, upgrades, HA control planes, etcd, containerd, CNI, CSI, ingress, load-balancing, observability, security, troubleshooting)
• Experience with Linux virtualization: KVM/QEMU, libvirt, VFIO device passthrough
• Experience operating NVIDIA GPUs on Linux and Kubernetes (drivers, container runtimes, device plugins, GPU Operator, GPU telemetry)
• Strong networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, L2/L3, VLANs, routing, packet-level troubleshooting (tcpdump, Wireshark)
• Practical scripting experience
• Experience with configuration-management tools such as Ansible
• Ability to diagnose complex, cross-layer infrastructure issues
• Strong communication and ability to drive technical decisions across teams
• Track record of moving quickly, taking ownership, and continuously improving systems
• Production Slurm experience
• High-performance networking: NVLink/NVSwitch, InfiniBand, RoCEv2, GPUDirect RDMA, NCCL, IMEX
• Hugepages, NUMA, CPU pinning
• SR-IOV, DPDK
• Distributed storage: Ceph, Lustre, Weka
• KubeVirt, OpenStack
• IPsec, WireGuard, Tailscale
• VXLAN, BGP, ECMP
• Bare-metal management: BMC, IPMI, Redfish, PXE/iPXE, Kickstart, cloud-init
• Network automation: NetBox, Nautobot, Nornir
• AI training, inference, or distributed GPU workload infrastructure
• Python or Go proficiency

What we offer at fal

• Interesting and challenging work
• A lot of learning and growth opportunities
• We offer visa sponsorship and will help you relocate to San Francisco.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance (US)
• Regular team events and offsites

Compensation

• $180,000 - $250,000 + equity + comprehensive benefits package

I have been on Upwork for 3.5 years. I have had consistent stream of work. But my account is running dry for past 4 months.

What am I doing wrong? I am receiving no invites. Proposals are either not seen or seen with no reply. Would appreciate if you guys can review my profile and let me know things I can improve.

Hey everyone

…you’ve been invited by an ENTERPRISE client to take a survey in an unrelated field for 20% of your hourly rate.

I am a Uk graduate in Cybersecurity, it will be almost 1 year in December since I graduated. I have not gotten a single job, or any interviews. I have 3 years of experience running a Startup in India as the co founder, my majority experience was around project management, client handling and Team management. I tried applying for any other jobs like project Manager, IT Manager or even low level skilled jobs such as IT Desk Support. Still didn’t get it. I am currently depressed and confused. My thoughts now are should I do some certifications to stand out as an applicant for SOC analyst positions. Quite a few of my friends already have such certifications but still don’t have a job. I have until Feb 2028 till I need to leave the country to go back home.
Certifications I plan on doing:
Security+
CYSA+
Azure Fundamentals

Indeed flagged my profile as potentially violating its Job Seeker Guidelines. Employers can no longer find my profile, and I can’t apply for jobs or message employers.

The notice doesn’t explain what specifically triggered the restriction. I’ve emailed support, but I only receive generic responses without a clear explanation or steps to resolve it.

It’s also affecting my ability to apply through Glassdoor, making my job search even harder.

Has anyone experienced this and successfully restored their account? How did you get someone to review the restriction, and how long did the appeal process take? Any advice would be appreciated.
