## 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.

- Lead threat modeling and security design reviews for new products, major changes, third-party integrations, and critical systems.
- Design and review IAM, privileged access, network security, encryption, key management, secrets, logging, and threat detection controls.
- Review web, API, native mobile, AI-enabled, and data processing architectures for security and privacy risks.
- Guide secure architecture across TypeScript/Node.js, Python, Swift, and Kotlin applications and services on AWS and GCP.
- Evaluate security technologies, advise engineering leaders, and track remediation of material architecture risks.

## What We Look For

- Degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related field, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years in security engineering, security architecture, or a related security role.
- Experience implementing and owning SC TRM and BNM RMiT requirements, including control operation, evidence, and audit remediation.
- Strong knowledge of cloud and application security, IAM, networking, encryption, secure design, and distributed systems.
- Hands-on familiarity with AWS and GCP and architectures using TypeScript/Node.js, Python, Swift, and Kotlin.
- Experience with threat modeling, architecture reviews, risk assessments, and frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS, or OWASP.
- Able to translate regulatory and technical risks into clear, actionable plans for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Language English is our main working language across global teams. Strong English communication is required.
