Not everyone starts in the tech industry and at Benison Technologies, that’s not just okay, it’s valued.
We believe talent doesn’t always follow a straight path. Whether you’re coming from a different industry, shifting roles within tech, or returning after a break, your journey brings unique insight that can fuel innovation. Our teams include professionals who took the leap from business to engineering, QA to DevOps, operations to product and they’re thriving.
Here’s why Benison is a great place for anyone considering a tech career switch.
Stories of Real Career Switches That Worked
At Benison, we’ve seen firsthand how career transitions can lead to tremendous growth. One of our engineers started out in customer support, got curious about automation, and now contributes to critical cloud infrastructure projects. Another team member with a background in education took online courses in QA testing and quickly became an integral part of a product team.
Many professionals have made bold career pivots – just look at the real career change stories shared here. Stories like these remind us that with the right mindset and support, a new chapter is absolutely possible.
Their success didn’t come overnight but with structured guidance, real mentorship, and room to grow, they’ve built meaningful careers.
Supportive Onboarding Designed for Lateral Hires
We understand that switching careers or industries can be overwhelming. That’s why Benison’s onboarding is built to guide not just orient.
For lateral hires, we pair new employees with mentors or team buddies who’ve been in similar shoes. The first few weeks focus on context, not just deliverables. We offer domain deep-dives, hands-on sessions, and real project exposure early on ensuring that learning never happens in isolation.
Because we’re committed to helping new talent feel confident, not just competent.
How Diverse Backgrounds Enrich Team Collaboration
When someone joins us from a different career path, they bring more than just enthusiasm, they bring new ways of thinking.
A former business analyst might see product gaps others don’t. Someone with a humanities background might approach problems with a people-first mindset that improves user experience. An engineer-turned-marketer might simplify technical narratives for customers better than anyone else.
This diversity of thought helps Benison teams build more practical, more inclusive, and often more elegant solutions. It’s how we stay agile and connected across disciplines.
We Don’t Expect Linear Careers, We Embrace Real Ones
Tech resumes aren’t always polished. People take detours, breaks, and risks. We look beyond that.
What matters to us is your curiosity, your commitment to learning, and your willingness to solve real problems. Whether you’re switching from manual QA to SRE, moving from teaching to test automation, or entering tech after years in another domain, there’s room to grow.
At Benison, we don’t just tolerate non-linear careers. We believe they make teams stronger.
Thinking About a Tech Career Change? You’re Not Alone
Switching careers is brave and hard. But it can also be one of the most rewarding choices you make.
At Benison Technologies, we encourage people at every stage of their journey. If you’ve built the foundational skills, we’ll help you apply them. If you’ve got the drive to grow, we’ll meet you with mentorship, support, and the space to evolve.
