This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/canonical-software-engineering-manager-container-virtualisation-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
[ ] Based in Europe, the Middle East, Africa or the Americas, as Canonical lists this one as home based EMEA and Americas
[ ] A bachelor's or equivalent degree in Computer Science, STEM or similar
[ ] Experience leading engineering teams, Linux cloud technologies (networking, storage, containers, Kubernetes) and C or Go programming
[ ] Global travel for 4 to 6 weeks a year for internal and external events

2. WHAT TO GET READY
An online form; it names no documents. Some forms do not save as you go, so set aside time to do it in one sitting.
In their words: "An online application"

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
