Native iOS Engineer

About BJAK

The original mission of BJAK is 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, its 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 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 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.

Interview Process

The process consists of three stages:

1. Online Coding Assessment

We assess coding fundamentals, problem-solving ability and code quality.

1. Technical Interview

We assess native iOS development fundamentals, architecture, API integration, debugging, performance optimization, UX thinking and production-quality engineering.

1. 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.
