## Filled public editorial exercise, October 20, 2026
Canonical: Software Engineer - Python and K8s, requisition 815.
https://canonical.com/careers/3752633/software-engineer-python-and-k8s-remote
Public posting observed active on October 20. This exercise is not recruiting for Canonical; Canonical is not represented as a Metix customer.

- Discovery concepts: Python; Kubernetes or K8s; software engineer/developer and separately site reliability engineer. Alternative titles are research hypotheses, not requirements approved by Canonical.
- Actual posting also asks for Linux system administration, at least one public cloud, Docker/container experience, robust testable documented code, degree or equivalent, and travel once or twice yearly for up to two weeks. It describes coaching colleagues. Keep these in review; two keyword hits do not satisfy the role.
- Location: posting says Home based - Worldwide. Do not invent a US residence gate from the US search parameters.
- Literal fixture: L1 retains A/E/F/G; L2 retains F/G; L3 retains A/B/E/F/G. All documents are invented; G illustrates a negated skill mention.
- Google: G1/G2/G3 were executed with English/US parameters in a personalized signed-in browser. Results only establish displayed indexed links at that time. No native LinkedIn paid search, individual assessment, contact export or outreach was performed.
- Next action for an actual employer: confirm the requirements, inspect source evidence, resolve missing information, then approve outreach. Do not use this public exercise to activate Canonical's role.
