Backend Engineer

BJAK is building an automation platform for insurance operations. The platform supports quotes, renewals, policy issuance, endorsements, claims, payments, customer requests and insurer follow-ups.

We are looking for Backend Engineers who can build reusable systems, not just one-off features.

The Mission

Build backend foundations that automate insurance operations across products, teams and countries.

What You’ll Own

• Build backend services for BJAK’s insurance automation platform.

• Create reusable workflow logic for quote, policy, claims and endorsement flows.

• Improve APIs, data models, event flows and system reliability.

• Reduce repeated manual work through better backend systems.

• Work with product, operations, frontend, QA and DevOps.

• Improve monitoring, logs, documentation and maintainability.

• Support regional scale across multiple markets.

What We’re Looking For

• Backend engineering experience in production platforms.

• Strong system thinking and ability to simplify messy workflows.

• Good understanding of APIs, databases and service design.

• Able to build for reuse without over-engineering.

• Comfortable working with ambiguous requirements.

• Strong follow-through and ownership of long-term improvements.

• Practical, steady and low ego.

The Kind of Builder We Want

• Thinks in systems, not only tickets.

• Can improve things step by step.

• Comfortable with operational complexity.

• Serious about reliability and maintainability.

• Focused on long-term platform value.

This Role Is Not For

• People who only want small feature tasks.

• People who dislike internal systems or platform work.

• People who over-engineer before understanding the problem.

• People who need perfect requirements.

• People who do not like improving old systems.

Success Looks Like

• Insurance workflows become more automated and reusable.

• Backend systems are easier to maintain.

• Manual operations reduce.

• New product or country flows become easier to launch.

• The platform becomes stronger as BJAK scales.

Interview Process

We assess candidates based on culture fit, working style, and platform/backend thinking. The process begins with an application review, followed by three rounds of interviews, including a technical assessment or system discussion.
