BJAK is building an automation platform for insurance operations. The platform supports quotes, renewals, policy issuance, endorsements, claims, payments, customer requests and insurer follow-ups.
We are looking for Backend Engineers who can build reusable systems and backend foundations that scale across workflows, products and markets — not just one-off features. This role works remotely while collaborating closely with our Malaysia-based engineering and operations teams.
The Mission
Build backend foundations that automate insurance operations across products, teams and countries.
What You’ll Own
* Build backend services for BJAK’s insurance automation platform.
* Create reusable workflow logic for quote, policy, claims and endorsement flows.
* Improve APIs, data models, event-driven workflows and system reliability.
* Reduce repeated manual operations through stronger backend systems.
* Work closely with product, operations, frontend, QA and DevOps teams.
* Improve monitoring, logging, documentation and maintainability.
* Help scale platform capabilities across multiple regional markets.
What We’re Looking For
* Backend engineering experience in production systems or platforms.
* Strong system-thinking ability and comfort simplifying messy workflows.
* Good understanding of APIs, databases and backend service architecture.
* Able to build reusable systems without unnecessary over-engineering.
* Comfortable operating in ambiguous and fast-moving environments.
* Strong ownership and follow-through on long-term improvements.
* Practical, collaborative and low ego.
The Kind of Builder We Want
* Thinks in systems and operational flows, not only tickets.
* Improves systems incrementally and pragmatically.
* Comfortable navigating operational and workflow complexity.
* Serious about reliability, maintainability and scalability.
* Focused on building long-term platform value.
This Role Is Not For
* Engineers who only want isolated feature tasks.
* People who dislike internal systems or platform engineering work.
* Engineers who over-engineer before understanding business needs.
* People who depend on perfectly defined requirements.
* Engineers who avoid improving legacy or operational systems.
Success Looks Like
* Insurance workflows become more automated and reusable.
* Backend systems become easier to maintain and scale.
* Manual operational work reduces significantly.
* New products and regional flows launch faster.
* The platform grows stronger and more reliable as BJAK scales.
Interview Process
We assess candidates based on culture fit, working style and backend/platform thinking. The process includes application review, interview rounds and a technical assessment or system design discussion.
