About BJAK
The original mission of BJAK is we believe people deserve smarter ways to plan, save and grow their money. This is the origin of our name.
Started in 2019, we built the first mobile-first, insurance platform, enabling insurance to be accessible online by millions in the region. Today, its the leading insurance platform in Southeast Asia.
Today, we are expanding ways to help people in the region — this includes spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling, and more. Our mission is help people get more from their money every day.
We have teams working around the world, with over 20 nationalities from our offices and remotely, who truly enjoys their work. We are looking for the most talented and driven people we can find. We are looking for people who work for their passion, not counting hours. Who loves building great next-generation products, not status quo. Who cares about redefining how everyone around us can get the best financial applications, not for an exclusive few.
If you're this person, we'd love to talk to you.
The Role
We are looking for applied AI engineers to build AI-native systems for BJAK's AI Neobank app.
This is not a research-only role. We need builders who can use AI to automate real workflows, improve products, reduce manual work and make financial services easier for users and teams.
What You Will Build
Build AI agents, workflows, tools and automations that solve real customer, product and operations problems.
Apply LLMs, retrieval, tool calling, evaluations, guardrails and automation to practical financial workflows.
Create AI-assisted experiences for onboarding, support, KYC, risk review, CRM, operations, document handling and product intelligence.
Work with product and engineering teams to identify what is worth building, then build it quickly and improve it in production.
Design around real constraints: accuracy, hallucination risk, latency, cost, security, compliance and user trust.
Turn manual processes into reliable AI-enabled systems that can scale.
What We Look For
Hands-on engineering ability, not just AI strategy or management experience.
Experience building AI agents, LLM apps, RAG systems, automation workflows, copilots or AI-enabled tools.
Strong coding ability in Python, TypeScript, JavaScript or similar practical stack.
Good judgement on what should be automated and what should not.
Able to ship working systems, test quality and improve reliability over time.
Fintech, banking, support automation, risk, KYC, fraud, CRM or operations automation experience is a strong plus.
This Role Is Not For
People who only want research projects with no production ownership.
Candidates who treat AI as demos instead of working systems.
Engineers who do not care about evaluation, reliability or user impact.
People who overclaim AI impact without evidence.
Builders who cannot work with product, ops and business teams.
The Bar
We are looking for engineers with real technology career highlights. A strong highlight is not just working at a famous company. A strong highlight means you personally helped build, ship or scale a serious product, platform or system.
Location
This role is remote, but candidates must be based in China. We are hiring specifically for this market, so applicants should already be based in China.
Language
English is our main working language across global teams. Strong English communication is required.
Interview Process
Our process is designed to move fast:
Online assessment or practical task
Technical interview
CEO / final round
For strong candidates, we aim to complete the process and make an offer within 1 week from the start of the interview process. Candidates who complete assessments quickly will be prioritized.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Bjak. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
