Digital Designer, Cape Town

About us HyperDev is a new developer-focused spin‑out within the HyperionDev ecosystem, one of the world’s leading providers of accelerated tech education. Our mission at HyperDev is to help people Write Code Right and 10x their impact by radically improving how developers build, learn, and grow in their work using generative AI.

We’re building the first tool that truly bridges the gap between low‑code platforms and full‑scale programming. By abstracting code into natural language, developers maintain full control over logic and behaviour while eliminating the friction of syntax and boilerplate. Our founding team comprises engineers who have worked on generative AI models at OpenAI (as recently as 2024) and technical leaders behind a BAFTA‑winning video game renowned for its innovation.

HyperionDev, our parent organisation, is one of the largest and most recognised coding education providers in EMEA. We partner with world‑class universities, including Imperial College London, The London School of Economics, and The University of Edinburgh, to deliver industry‑driven coding bootcamps that fast‑track learners into meaningful tech careers. Backed by Meta and the UK government’s Department for Education, and supported by a global community of nearly 2000 investors, HyperionDev is a profitable, high‑growth scaleup shaping the future of tech education.

By joining HyperDev, you become part of this wider mission, combining the power of cutting‑edge AI with a proven model for global tech impact.
