Jobbeschreibung

We're sorry, the employer did not include salary information for this job.

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

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 the US, collaborating closely with our HQ in Malaysia and regional product, data, and engineering teams.

Why This Role Matters

You’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

What You’ll Do

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

You’ll Thrive Here If You...

Own outcomes, not just code - you measure success by real-world impact

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

Requirements

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 Javascipt (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 the US and open to remote collaboration with regional teams

Nice to Have

Background in ML, data mining, or statistical modeling

Familiarity with optimization solvers, graph algorithms, or constraint programming

Experience with cloud infrastructure, containerization, or distributed systems

Startup or high-growth environment experience

What You’ll Get

Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses

Fully remote, flexible work arrangement across the US

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

Regional collaboration across Southeast Asia
