QA Engineering Lead

About us

BJSS is a different type of tech consultancy. For 30+ years, we’ve prided ourselves on technical excellence, solving the toughest problems, and a relentless commitment to finding solutions where others have failed.

In all that time, we've stayed privately owned and fiercely independent, which has allowed us to build an enduring business that preserves the things that make us stand out.

 A different kind of tech consultancy needs a different type of person. The square pegs that don’t fit in the round holes. The minds that never stand still. The ones who push themselves to do incredible things in unconventional ways.

If you demand variety, hunger to learn new things, and crave working with the brightest and best minds in the industry, BJSS can offer you some of the most complex and challenging problems to solve for the biggest organisations in the world.

But if you want every day to be the same, this isn’t the place for you. We can promise you one thing: you won’t be bored.
