Bjak

What is Bjak?

Bjak is Southeast Asia's largest online insurance-comparison platform, based in Malaysia. It brings roughly 16 insurers and takaful (Islamic insurance) operators onto one marketplace so customers can compare side-by-side quotes and buy or renew policies, most commonly car and motorcycle insurance, fully online in minutes instead of dealing with agents. On top of the comparison and purchase flow, Bjak offers services like nationwide towing and emergency roadside assistance, and it makes money through commissions on the policies sold. The company is licensed by Bank Negara Malaysia as an approved financial adviser and Islamic financial adviser. Bjak was founded in 2019 by Wei Low, and its leadership includes CEO Muzir Kassim. It is headquartered in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, and has grown to roughly 360 employees while serving more than 7 million registered users with a strong consumer rating. Bjak is notably profitable and self-sustaining rather than heavily venture-dependent, and its founder has publicly discussed weighing an IPO and expanding into Europe. For job seekers, one thing stands out: Bjak has a strong reputation for hiring software engineers remotely and globally, not just in Malaysia, which makes it a genuine option for remote tech talent.

Mission & values

Make insurance and financial services simple, affordable, and accessible for everyone in Southeast Asia by letting people compare and buy the right policy online in minutes.

Qualifications

Bjak hires heavily in engineering (backend, full-stack, mobile, data, machine learning, infrastructure, and platform), and is well-known for recruiting software engineers on a remote and global basis, often with a strong emphasis on problem-solving ability over credentials. Alongside engineering it hires product, design, data, plus insurance and financial-adviser roles, operations, customer support, actuarial and compliance (it is a regulated financial adviser under Bank Negara Malaysia), business development, and marketing. The non-engineering and regulated roles are more Malaysia- and Southeast-Asia-anchored, and market-facing roles benefit from local language and market knowledge. Application flow lives at bjak.my/en/career. For remote engineering candidates, expect a process that weighs practical coding and problem-solving heavily. Confirm remote eligibility and location for any specific role on the posting.
