Education jobs in South Africa

HyperionDev is one of the largest providers of accelerated tech education in EMEA and one of the oldest providers of 'coding bootcamps' in the world. We work with top universities such as Imperial College London, The London School of Economics, The University of Edinburgh, and Stellenbosch University to deliver structured technical courses and bootcamps that accelerate people into fulfilling tech careers.

We have been recognised as one of the top education technology scaleups in the world and gained the financial backing of Meta (previously Facebook) which recognised us as the most socially impactful startup operating in Africa, where we initially started our work.

We are dedicated to closing the global tech skills gap and we achieve this by integrating tech education with human mentorship and expert code review powered by a workforce in Southern Africa, which lowers the cost of an accessible education in technology. This model has been successful, allowing us to reach millions of learners a year from over 60 countries.

As an Intermediate Technical Learning Designer at HyperionDev, you will play an integral part in the creation and technical quality assurance of all content-related tasks in the Learning Design team.

In addition to improving and expanding the technical quality of our existing content, you will also write and evaluate technical content (such as code samples and model answers) for all new courses, bootcamps, and any technical assessments that we need to carry out.
