If you've been treated by the NHS, passed your driving test, or paid via Apple Pay, you'll have used one of our systems. Our architects have always been at the centre of our engagements, taking the lead on technical quality and ensuring solutions will work in the real world, not just in the sandbox.
We're proud to take on the hard stuff and get it right, and we're passionate about building high-quality solutions that bring maximum value to our clients. At BJSS we've created the backbone of the NHS, trading systems that deal with half the world's foreign exchange, and helped organisations like Amnesty International improve human rights.
You'll work with high-performing, multi-disciplinary teams consisting of BJSS peers, clients, and partners. As a technical authority, you’ll lead by example, inspiring delivery teams to create great software products and technology solutions that demonstrate the art of the possible.
Why BJSS
No two projects are the same, there are opportunities to work across a wide range of technologies, platforms, and paradigms. Our architects can face many challenges – from hands-on rapid innovation of a product from concept to live, to helping large enterprise clients with multi-year transformation roadmaps aligning people, process and technology change.
We empower engineering teams to make sound design choices while managing client stakeholder expectations and creating opportunities for continuous improvement. Be part of a learning organisation where you're always encouraged and supported to voice your opinion and continue your development.
Katrin - Architect (London)
We believe that successful delivery requires pragmatism, strong leadership and mentoring, great communication, and leaving ego at the door.
Gone are the days of command and control from an ivory tower – our approach to architecture centres around the empowerment of teams, guidance, and a willingness to get stuck in when help is needed.
Our architects take responsibility and feel a strong sense of ownership of our solutions. They’re not afraid to make the tough decisions when necessary, but always back them up with impeccable rationale and a healthy respect for others’ opinions. Servant leadership is our way.
We believe that hybrid working should be about flexibility. As an architect at BJSS, you'll have the option to work from home, a BJSS office, or from the client's site, depending on your preference and the nature of work to be completed.
We've introduced new office locations across the UK. Accessible to everyone as and when needed, these extra sites mean you'll be under no pressure to relocate.
