Cape Town, South Africa HyperionDev Full time

**ABOUT US**:
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 startups 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. We have also partnered with government bodies such as the UK's Department for Education who provide scholarships for students to study on our bootcamps and gain employment at companies such as AstraZeneca and the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS).

We're backed by nearly 2000 investors, having raised the largest crowdfunding round of funding for an ed-tech company in history. As a primarily bootstrapped, profitable, and scale up tech business join us as we play our part in making the world a more stable, safer, and fair place.

**ABOUT THE ROLE**:
As the Product Delivery Manager at HyperionDev, you will ensure the successful delivery of the company's products or services to its customers, on time and within budget, while meeting or exceeding expectations in terms of quality.

- Our student portal
- Our mentor portals
- Our placements portal

Our tech stack consists primarily of Python, Django, AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, SQS, SNS, CloudWatch, Route53), Postgres, and a little bit of Ubuntu.

To make a success of this position you will need to be a creative problem solver, have advanced technical skills, be adaptive, have high standards and the ability to communicate effectively with multiple stakeholders - technical and non-technical. You will report to the Head of Product & Engineering.

- **Risk Management**:Identify potential risks to the release scope, delivery schedule and quality of the product or service and implement strategies to mitigate those risks.
- Conduct Release Readiness reviews, Milestone Reviews, and Business Go/No-Go reviews. Work with Engineering to understand the impacts of branches and code merges
- **Quality Assurance**: Work with the QA, Product and Business teams to ensure that the product or service meets the company's quality standards and expectations.
- **Release Management**: Work closely with the Product Managers overseeing the process of managing, planning, scheduling and controlling a software build through different stages and environments; including testing and deploying software releases.
- Lead and coordinate the Go-Live activities including the execution of the deployment Plans and checklists.
