AI Engineer

Working arrangement: United States (Remote - work from anywhere in the United States)

Build Intelligent Systems from Model to UI - and Everything in Between

At BJAK, we’re using AI to reinvent how financial services work across Southeast Asia - making them smarter, simpler, and more inclusive. As a Full Stack AI Engineer, you’ll bridge machine learning and software engineering to deliver real AI-powered features into users’ hands.

This is a remote role based in the US, working closely with our Malaysia HQ and cross-functional regional teams. You’ll operate across the stack - from backend logic and ML integration to frontend delivery - building intelligent systems that scale fast and matter deeply.

Why This Role Matters

• You’ll be the critical link between AI models and user-facing experiences

• Your work will shape how millions of people interact with smart financial services

• You’ll architect and deliver full-stack systems that combine backend, ML, and frontend layers

• You’ll thrive in a lean, high-impact team where speed, ownership, and collaboration are everything

What You’ll Do

• Build and deploy full-stack applications that incorporate ML models

• Work with data scientists and ML engineers to integrate models into scalable backend systems

• Develop APIs, backend services, and real-time data pipelines for intelligent features

• Design clean, performant, and intuitive UIs that surface AI insights to users

• Own the full development lifecycle - from architecture and testing to deployment and monitoring

• Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teams to ship polished, end-to-end solutions

• Continuously improve the performance, usability, and reliability of AI-integrated applications

You’ll Thrive Here If You...

• Own the outcome, you care about impact, not just lines of code

• Solve problems end-to-end, from data and systems to UI and user flow

• Build fast and iterate even faster, V1 out now beats V3 someday

• Move forward even in chaos, ambiguity, shifting priorities, and lean resources excite you

• Think like a founder - you don’t wait to be told, you figure it out and ship

• Learn aggressively, new tools, frameworks, and failures fuel your growth

• Have the humility to learn from others and the drive to help them grow

• Bring energy, clarity, and execution - and raise the bar for your team every day

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field

• Strong proficiency in Python is a must

• 2 - 4 years of experience in full stack development (frontend + backend)

• Strong programming skills in JavaScript (Node.js, React, or similar)

• Experience integrating ML models into production systems

• Familiarity with REST APIs, cloud deployment, and scalable architecture

• Comfortable working with SQL/NoSQL databases and distributed systems

• Strong grasp of software design patterns, testing, and debugging

• Must be based in the US and open to remote collaboration with international teams

Nice to Have

• Experience deploying ML models using tools like FastAPI, Flask, or TensorFlow Serving

• Familiarity with modern frontend stacks like Next.js, Vue, or TypeScript

• Exposure to ML tools like MLflow, Airflow, Docker, GCP, or AWS

• Background in high-growth startups or agile product teams

• Interest in explainable AI, visualizations, or surfacing complex ML outputs to end users

What You’ll Get

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses

• Remote-first setup with flexibility to work from anywhere in the US

• High-impact, high-ownership role in a product-led AI company

• Flat structure - your ideas are valued, and your code is seen

• Fast-track growth with real visibility across engineering, data, and product

• Regional exposure across Southeast Asia and the chance to shape products at scale
