This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/canonical-junior-linux-kernel-engineer-ubuntu-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
[ ] Recent university graduate or early career professional
[ ] Programming experience in C and/or Rust and understanding of operating system kernel fundamentals
[ ] Willing to travel twice yearly for company events, up to two weeks each

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 operating system kernels or low-level hardware, 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
