This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/canonical-engineering-manager-solutions-engineering-worldwide-2026
Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] Home based worldwide, open to applicants across Africa
[ ] Track record of leading and coaching software developers
[ ] Python expertise and knowledge of cloud computing and Linux server administration
[ ] Willing to travel up to 10 percent for events and team sprints

2. WHAT TO GET READY
[ ] CV or resume (One or two pages. No CV yet? Our CV starter builds a plain one from your answers.)
[ ] Cover or motivation letter (Short, written for this one: why this, what you have done that fits.)
It also names something beyond these; read their words below.
In their words: "Canonical's online form asks for a resume (required) and a cover letter (optional). It also asks for required written answers about your experience with OpenStack or Kubernetes, Python engineering, and engineering management, plus your high school maths and language results with supporting evidence and your degree result."

3. DATES
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
