03 · Eligibility
Who can apply
Remote. The page accepts applicants only from the 29 countries it lists, none of them in Africa, so it is not open to people living in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa or Egypt.
Countries named in the listing: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States.
Not in Africa
As far as the listing and Outlier's country rules show, this role is not open to people living in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa or Egypt. Outlier in Africa
Apply from where you live, as yourself. Using a VPN or someone else's identity to get around a country rule breaks these platforms' terms, and it is the quickest way to lose an account and any unpaid earnings.

About this listing
We last confirmed this opening on Nov 2, 2026. Rates and hours come from the listing unless the note beside the rate says otherwise. Where the listing names no countries, the Africa status is our reading of it and of what is known of Outlier's country rules, set out on its profile, and never marks a role more open than they show. The listing itself has the final word.
