About Siyavula Foundation

About Us

At Siyavula, we’re seriously passionate about improving maths and science education and we've got a unique product worth throwing our weight behind. We're set to expand our reach, taking our online learning platform not just further into South Africa, but also out to the rest of the world.

Our highly-driven team work remotely. We’re proud geeks and no, that does not mean we all have backgrounds in the hard-core Sciences :) We’re interested in people who are good at coming alongside and working together on a project, but are also capable of managing their own efforts, getting on a with the job at hand and delivering a high-quality product, every time.

We’re a start-up and start-up culture permeates a lot of what we do. We work with a relatively-flat organisational structure, enjoy flexible work hours and our shutdown over Christmas doesn’t come out of your leave - Bonus!

We’re working hard to make a big difference and enjoying the ride.

Hiring process

We'll first ask you to complete a quick technical assignment - it shouldn't take up a huge amount of your time and it helps us to understand how you think and how you work to make sure we have a good fit. A senior dev and our CTO will review the assignment and, if all goes well, we'll pop you an email to request some time to interview.

Our interview process comprises of 3 "segments" including a team fit chat with a mix of members from the team, a technical conversation with the dev team and then a final wrap-up with the Executive Director. We'll make a decision pretty quickly after that and close the loop with you.
