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 South Africa, where the role is located
[ ] Bachelor's degree or Advanced Diploma in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
[ ] 3 to 6 years in a software development role for the mid level, or 5 to 10 years for the senior level
[ ] Software engineering skills (Python or a similar strongly typed language, SQL, Linux, REST APIs)

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: "Apply through the Greenhouse application form linked on the posting."

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
