J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Canonical en juin 2022
Entretien
Moronic interview process. Consisting of a several hour written interview. Lots of stupid questions about high school and university choices. No place for a senior role applicant. I don't remember my high school! It was 20 years ago!
The written interview is followed by an even dumber IQ test.
Followed by a 30-minute call with a clueless member of staff.
Then there is a 4-hour take-home test. Mine was on things that the role said were optional/nice-to-haves. So I naturally failed it due to having to learn too much stuff and running out of time.
Respect yourself. Stay clear. You will put in 15 hours into this role, while Canonical will reciprocate with 30 minutes. If that's how they treat candidates, employees probably get treated even worse.

I understand they are looking for a very specific type of profile. It's just not for me and after a long form with 30+ questions, some of then about my teenage years hobbies or my grades in school, and a intelligence tests consisting on sesame street knowledge like "Peter is taller than Jenny. Who is shorter?" i just withdraw, if that is the respect they have for candidate time i am not a good fit for their culture.
Long process, took a lot of time to complete so-called "written interview", talking about your academic performance during high school and college, which is hated by most people.
Interviewers are kind, however, it sucks when the interview process takes you 40+ days to get a rejection email.

Find the position of matched bytes in a large data memory
It was lengthy. There is the well-known written interview, followed by a basic programming test. Lots and lots of Google Meet interviews. Many of the interviewers asked the same questions. A panel interview would have been a lot better.
