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.

Language English is our main working language across global teams. Strong English communication is required. ## About Bjak ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Bjak is Southeast Asia’s leading digital insurance platform, enabling users to compare, purchase, and manage insurance policies and automotive services through a single, AI-powered interface. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed Stage) - **Headquarters**: Selangor, Malaysia - **Founded**: 2019 - **Founders**: Not publicly available ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Insurtech / Financial Services (with a growing automotive service vertical) - **Target customers**: B2C (individuals seeking insurance and car repairs), B2B (partnerships with 16 insurers and workshop networks) - **Mission**: “To develop technology‑based solutions to improve financial inclusion.” ## Products & Services - **Insurance Platform (SaaS / Marketplace)**: Compare quotes from 16 insurers, purchase policies, manage claims, and access 24/7 VIP support.
