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.

Contribute to engineering standards, code reviews and continuous improvement across the mobile platform.
What We're Looking For
3+ years of professional iOS development experience using Swift.
Strong experience building and maintaining production iOS applications.
Solid understanding of SwiftUI, UIKit, async/await and modern iOS architecture patterns.
Strong knowledge of mobile UX, usability, accessibility and user-centered design.
Experience integrating REST APIs and troubleshooting production issues.
Comfortable working independently in a remote, distributed engineering team.
Strong ownership, fast execution and attention to product quality.
GitHub, App Store links or examples of shipped applications are highly preferred.

Comfortable working in an environment with evolving priorities.
Proactively identifies UX, performance and reliability improvements.
Takes ownership from idea through production.
Honest about personal contributions, technical decisions and measurable impact.
This Role Is Not For
Developers who require fully specified tasks before taking action.

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 iOS development fundamentals, architecture, API integration, debugging, 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 App Store 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.
