Help Build AI That Powers the Future of Financial Access in Southeast Asia

At BJAK , we’re leveraging AI to tackle meaningful challenges — from fraud detection and risk modeling to delivering hyper-personalized financial services that make insurance more accessible to everyone.

We’re looking for a talented AI Engineer based in Malaysia to join our growing AI team. In this role, you’ll work closely with our Head of AI and a team of skilled engineers to design and build next-generation intelligent systems that serve millions of users across the region.

Why This Role Matters

  • You’ll contribute directly to AI systems that have real-world impact on millions of users.
  • You’ll work alongside a fast-moving team solving complex engineering and product challenges.
  • You’ll gain hands‑on experience building and deploying machine learning models in production.
  • You’ll be part of a mission-driven company using AI to democratize access to financial services.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and ship production‑grade machine learning models for high‑impact use cases.
  • Contribute to model architecture, data pipeline design, and deployment strategies.
  • Collaborate across engineering, data, and product teams to drive AI initiatives.
  • Support the full ML lifecycle—from data preprocessing and model training to monitoring in production.
  • Write clean, scalable, and well‑documented code.
  • Stay up to date with the latest developments in AI / ML, and contribute ideas to improve our systems and workflows.
  • Participate in code reviews and technical discussions with peers.
  • You’ll Thrive Here If You…

  • Enjoy solving real‑world problems using practical AI solutions.
  • Like working hands‑on with code and delivering models that go into production.
  • Value collaboration and learning from others across different functions.
  • Take ownership of your work and follow through with high‑quality delivery.
  • Adapt quickly in a fast‑paced, remote‑first environment.
  • Want to be part of a team where your work directly contributes to regional impact.
  • Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3–6 years of experience in AI / ML engineering with real‑world deployment experience.
  • Proficient in Python and familiar with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn.
  • Solid understanding of machine learning workflows, from data preprocessing to model evaluation.
  • Experience working on applied AI use cases (e.g., recommendation systems, fraud detection, risk scoring, NLP).
  • Strong problem‑solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Comfortable working hybrid and collaborating with regional teams.
  • Based in Malaysia, with the ability to work in a hybrid setup from PJ HQ.
  • Nice to Have

  • Experience with MLOps tools like MLflow, Airflow, Docker, or cloud platforms (e.g., GCP, AWS).
  • Familiarity with responsible AI practices (fairness, interpretability, model governance).
  • Experience working in a startup or scale‑up environment.
  • Interest in building reusable ML components or internal tools.
  • What You’ll Get

  • Competitive salary and performance‑based bonuses.
  • Hybrid work flexibility : remote work plus in‑person collaboration at our HQ.
  • Opportunity to work on AI projects that make a regional impact.
  • Direct mentorship from experienced AI leaders.
  • Fast career growth in a dynamic, high‑speed environment.
  • Open, collaborative team culture that values great ideas and execution.
