About the role
About BJAK
The original mission of BJAK is that 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, it's 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 to 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 the 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.
About the Job
We are looking for talented Android Developers to build and evolve our mobile applications that power BJAK's insurance and financial products. You will also contribute to features that leverage automation and AI-assisted capabilities where they improve user experience and operational efficiency.
This is a fully remote position where you will be part of a global engineering team working across multiple countries to build reliable, scalable mobile systems.

Build intuitive mobile experiences across insurance, payments, claims, renewals and financial services.
Work closely with product managers, designers and backend engineers to simplify complex user journeys.
Integrate backend APIs and ensure mobile applications remain stable, reliable and performant.
Improve app performance by reducing ANRs, crashes, memory consumption and battery usage.
Use analytics, production insights and user feedback to continuously improve the product.
Build AI-assisted mobile experiences where they genuinely enhance the user journey.
Write clean, maintainable and well-tested code while contributing to code reviews and engineering best practices.
What We're Looking For
3+ years of Android development experience using Kotlin.
Strong experience building and shipping production Android applications.
Good understanding of Jetpack Compose, Android SDK, Coroutines, Flow and modern Android architecture patterns.
Strong understanding of mobile UX, usability and user flows.
Experience integrating REST APIs and debugging production issues.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, fully remote engineering team.
High ownership, fast execution and strong attention to quality.
GitHub, Google Play links or examples of shipped applications are highly preferred.
Tech Stack
Kotlin
Jetpack Compose

The Kind of Builder We Want
Thinks in user journeys, not just individual screens.
Cares about making complex financial products simple to use.
Delivers quickly without sacrificing code quality.
Comfortable working with changing priorities and ambiguity.
Notices UX, performance and reliability issues before users do.
Takes ownership from implementation through production.
Honest about personal contributions and measurable impact.
This Role Is Not For
Developers who only want fully defined tickets.
Engineers who focus only on writing code without considering user experience.
People who ignore crashes, edge cases, loading states or application performance.
Developers who struggle to adapt in a fast-moving startup environment.
Candidates who exaggerate their contributions without explaining their actual ownership.
Success Looks Like
Android features are delivered quickly and reliably.
The mobile experience becomes faster, cleaner and easier to use.
Users complete financial journeys with less friction.
Production issues steadily decrease over time.
BJAK builds one of the best finance app experiences across Southeast Asia.
Interview Process
The process consists of three stages:
Online Coding Assessment
We assess coding fundamentals, problem-solving ability and code quality.
Technical Interview
We assess Android fundamentals, application architecture, API integration, debugging skills, UX thinking and production-quality engineering.
CEO Interview
We assess ownership, execution speed, ambition, judgement, integrity and alignment with BJAK's builder culture.
Please share links to your Google Play applications, GitHub repositories, portfolio or examples of shipped work where possible. We value real-world engineering experience, clear ownership and honest thinking more than a formal cover letter.
