Why join us:

At BIS, we pride ourselves on being very entrepreneurial in nature. Our office is an open environment that lends itself to collaboration and organic learning. We integrate new ideas and best practices quickly when they further the development of our software and company. This flexibility is a key part of our culture and a reflection of our insightful and collaborative team.

Another key part of our culture is our purposeful avoidance of titles. We don’t use titles as they don’t reflect the value we place in humility. In our eyes, all team members are valuable, everyone is willing to help accomplish goals, and everyone is driven to take their role one step further, so we don’t need titles!
