Backend Engineer - Insurance Automation Platform (Remote, UK)

BJAK is building an automation platform for insurance operations. The platform supports quotes, renewals, policy issuance, endorsements, claims, payments, customer requests and insurer follow-ups. We are looking for Backend Engineers who can build reusable systems and backend foundations that scale across workflows, products and markets — not just one-off features.

This role works remotely while collaborating closely with our Malaysia-based engineering and operations teams. The Mission Build backend foundations that automate insurance operations across products, teams and countries. What You’ll Own Build backend services for BJAK’s insurance automation platform.

Create reusable workflow logic for quote, policy, claims and endorsement flows. Improve APIs, data models, event-driven workflows and system reliability. Reduce repeated manual operations through stronger backend systems.

Work closely with product, operations, frontend, QA and DevOps teams. Improve monitoring, logging, documentation and maintainability. Help scale platform capabilities across multiple regional markets.

What We’re Looking For Backend engineering experience in production systems or platforms. Strong system-thinking ability and comfort simplifying messy workflows. Good understanding of APIs, databases and backend service architecture.

Able to build reusable systems without unnecessary over-engineering. Comfortable operating in ambiguous and fast-moving environments. Strong ownership and follow-through on long-term improvements.

Practical, collaborative and low ego. The Kind of Builder We Want Thinks in systems and operational flows, not only tickets. Improves systems incrementally and pragmatically.

Comfortable navigating operational and workflow complexity. Serious about reliability, maintainability and scalability. Focused on building long-term platform value.

This Role Is Not For Engineers who only want isolated feature tasks. People who dislike internal systems or platform engineering work. Engineers who over-engineer before understanding business needs.

People who depend on perfectly defined requirements. Engineers who avoid improving legacy or operational systems. Success Looks Like Insurance workflows become more automated and reusable.

Backend systems become easier to maintain and scale. Manual operational work reduces significantly. New products and regional flows launch faster.

The platform grows stronger and more reliable as BJAK scales. Interview Process We assess candidates based on culture fit, working style and backend/platform thinking. The process includes application review, interview rounds and a technical assessment or system design discussion.
