If we were to use some metaphor to describe how our Delivery team works at Bejamas, we would choose a football team that has just started a match.

Frontend Developers and Testers are our talented players, whereas the keen team captain is our Project Manager. There is one person on the pitch who plays many roles but does not kick the ball: the coach. Depending on the situation during the game, the needs of the team, and the expectations of fans, owners, and investors of the football club, he acts in a different way. Sometimes he is a motivational speaker, a skills trainer, and a visionary, but also a down-to-earth manager who is responsible for the budget and deadlines.

Guess who’s that? The Delivery Manager we’re eager to find.

We play in the web development league with composable and Jamstack tools, our team consists of people from 14 different countries who work 100% remotely. We have over 60+ completed projects in our portfolio and 5+ years of experience in the international market of software and web development services.
