Software Engineer, Android

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.

Use analytics, production insights and customer feedback to continuously improve the product. Build AI-assisted mobile experiences where they provide meaningful value for users. Contribute to engineering best practices through code reviews, testing and continuous improvement. What We're Looking For 3+ years of professional Android software engineering experience using Kotlin. Strong experience building, shipping and maintaining production Android applications. Solid understanding of Jetpack Compose, Android SDK, Coroutines, Flow and modern Android architecture patterns (MVVM/Clean Architecture). Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, mobile architecture and clean code principles. Experience integrating REST APIs and debugging production issues. Comfortable working in a distributed, fully remote engineering team. Strong ownership, fast execution and commitment to engineering excellence. GitHub, Google Play links or examples of shipped applications are highly preferred. Tech Stack Kotlin Jetpack Compose Android SDK Coroutines & Flow SQL / NoSQL TensorFlow Lite (on-device inference) The Kind of Builder We Want Thinks about complete user journeys, not just individual screens. Enjoys solving complex engineering problems with simple solutions. Writes clean, scalable and maintainable code while moving quickly. Comfortable working with evolving requirements in a startup environment. Proactively improves UX, performance and reliability. Takes ownership from design through production.
