Canonical
Apply on their own site: https://canonical.com/careers/4717512
This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/canonical-linux-cryptography-and-security-engineer-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
[ ] Hands on experience with low level Linux cryptography APIs and strong C development

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.)
[ ] Certificates or degree copies (Scan or photograph them clearly, in good light, flat.)
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 the cryptography or security certification products you have contributed to, 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
