About this role

Overview

We're looking for professionals with hands-on, real-world experience in specialized applications.

Application Expertise and Access

Operating Systems

- Linux Ubuntu 24.04 — as your primary desktop OS

---

About These Applications

Linux Ubuntu 24.04 | The Ubuntu desktop itself — the GNOME environment, Files, Settings, the terminal and package management | Linux desktop users, sysadmins, DevOps and open-source developers |

Technology Requirement

Must be able to capture screenshots with more than 2.5 megapixels. Satisfy this in either of two ways.

Option A — a single high monitor. Any of these aspect ratios, at or above the resolution shown:

4:3 | 1826 × 1370 | 2048×1536

16:9 | 2109 × 1186 | 2560×1440 (QHD) · 3840×2160 (4K) · 5120×2880 (5K)

16:10 | 2000 × 1250 | 2240×1400 · 2560×1600 · 2880×1800

3:2 | 1937 × 1291 | 2160×1440 · 2256×1504 · 2736×1824 · 3000×2000

21:9 (ultrawide) | 2416 × 1036 | 2560×1080 · 3440×1440 · 3840×1600

MacBook Pro 14" (3024×1964) and 16" (3456×2234) built-in displays qualify.

Option B — a dual-monitor setup. Two displays side by side, captured as a single spanning image. Two 1920×1080+ monitors qualify. A single 1080p screen out of that pair does not.
