Design Algorithms That Power Smarter, Faster, Fairer Financial Systems
At BJAK, we’re on a mission to simplify financial services through intelligent, scalable systems that reach millions across Southeast Asia. As an Algorithm Engineer, you’ll design the core logic behind everything from personalization and optimization to fraud detection and pricing models. You’ll be part of a lean, high-impact team where your decisions directly shape real-world outcomes.
This is a remote role based in Singapore, where you will collaborate closely with our headquarters in Malaysia and regional product, data, and engineering teams.
Why This Role MattersYou’ll design core algorithms that directly influence product intelligence and performance
Your work will shape critical features that impact millions of users across the region
You’ll solve complex, high-stakes problems across search, recommendation, pricing, and fraud
You’ll contribute to scalable systems that run in production—not just on paper
Design and implement algorithms to solve business-critical problems across personalization, optimization, pricing, and search
Convert ambiguous product challenges into clear, structured algorithmic solutions
Analyze trade-offs between accuracy, speed, scalability, and implementation complexity
Write clean, efficient, production-grade code for algorithm logic
Collaborate with data scientists and engineers to integrate and validate algorithms
Continuously refine and improve logic based on testing, feedback, and new data
Stay on top of relevant research, trends, and techniques in algorithms, statistics, and modeling
Own outcomes, not just code – you measure success by real-world impact
Navigate ambiguity like a pro – no detailed spec? You create one
Love startup speed – quick iterations, shifting priorities, and building fast don’t scare you
Solve messy problems from first principles – you bring structure where there was none
Move fast but think deeply – your solutions are pragmatic, not just theoretical
Embrace feedback, experimentation, and learning as core to how you grow
Believe that working with great teammates makes you better – and you do the same for them
Are endlessly curious and never stop leveling up your technical depth
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related technical field
2–4 years of experience in algorithm design, backend engineering, or systems development
Proficient in Python or JavaScript (Python preferred)
Strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, complexity analysis, and optimization techniques
Experience solving real-world problems in recommendation, ranking, search, pricing, or similar domains
Familiarity with mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, or numerical methods
Comfortable working with large datasets, edge cases, and production-level constraints
Must be based in Singapore and open to remote collaboration with regional teams
Familiarity with optimization solvers, graph algorithms, or constraint programming
Experience with cloud infrastructure, containerization, or distributed systems
Startup or high-growth environment experience
Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses
Fully remote, flexible work arrangement across Singapore
High visibility and ownership across projects
Flat structure where your input is heard and your work makes a difference
Fast learning curve and exposure to complex algorithmic challenges
