Cyber Security Engineer

Safeguard the Infrastructure Powering Southeast Asia's Leading Fintech At BJAK, technology is our backbone, from real-time insurance quoting to payment infrastructure and claims automation. With millions of users across Southeast Asia and rapidly growing operations, security is not just a function – it's mission‑critical. We are hiring a Cybersecurity Engineer to own and drive the protection of our platforms, devices, and data. This is not a passive role. It's for someone who can build, monitor, respond and harden systems in real time, while thinking two steps ahead of evolving threats. This is a high‑responsibility position reporting directly to senior management, designed for someone who thrives in high‑stakes environments and is energized by fast execution, shifting priorities, and full accountability.
