Our Culture

We’re passionate about software and finding unique solutions to problems others thought impossible to solve. Although driven by a need to deliver working applications, we understand the importance of balance – so we work hard, and we have fun doing it. We also honour our flat structure and open-door policy, you’re more than just another face in the canteen when you’re a part of team BBD.

Our Engineering Processes

Having been in business for over 35 years, BBD knows that no process is a silver bullet. Our focus is always on seamless delivery, so we work according to the process that best suits the client environment and project team. Because we’ve been around for so long, we have a lot of experience in all the mainstream engineering processes and SDLCs, but we always apply pragmatism and help our clients to do the same in development projects.

We try to keep the hiring process simple. After applications are reviewed, you complete a technical challenge followed by an interview. Once the formalities are out of the way, you are welcomed into the team and get cracking with the good stuff.
