• Familiarity with cloud environments, containerisation, and deployment pipelines
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Clear communication and ability to collaborate effectively across product and engineering teams
• High ownership mindset with attention to detail and delivery discipline

Recruitment Process

eReleGo follows a structured, assessment-led recruitment process focused on long-term fit and capability development. Shortlisted candidates will go through:

• ETPL Aptitude Test (EAT) - to assess analytical ability, reasoning, and problem-solving
• ETPL Psychometric Test (EPT) - to understand work style, behavioural tendencies, and role alignment
• Interview Rounds - including functional and culture-fit discussions

This process ensures fairness, transparency, and clarity for both the candidate and the organisation.

What We Offer

• Exposure to senior educators, institutional leaders, and industry practitioners
• Opportunities to learn from internal capability-building initiatives and leadership programs
• A growing organisation that is investing in better systems, clearer roles, and stronger people practices
• A work environment that values learning, ownership, and long-term career growth

As a scaling company, eReleGo is evolving its processes, teams, and structures. This role suits individuals who are comfortable growing alongside the organisation, contributing to improvement, and building strong foundations rather than expecting everything to be fully polished from day one.
