Machine Learning Engineer

BJAK


Date: 2 weeks ago
City: Petaling Jaya
Contract type: Full time
Working arrangement: Malaysia (Hybrid — remote + in-office)

Build AI Systems That Make Finance Simpler, Smarter, and More Inclusive

At BJAK, we’re building the next generation of intelligent financial services across Southeast Asia. As a Machine Learning Engineer, you’ll develop and deploy models that power key features — from personalization and risk scoring to automation and fraud detection. Your work will have a direct and visible impact on millions of users.

This role is based in Malaysia, with a hybrid working arrangement that combines the flexibility of remote work with in-person collaboration at our HQ. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams across engineering, product, and data to solve real-world challenges using machine learning.

Why This Role Matters

  • You’ll design and scale ML solutions that directly impact product experience and operational efficiency
  • You’ll contribute to production-grade systems that serve millions of users
  • You’ll work across multiple ML domains — from automation to personalization
  • You’ll grow fast in a lean, collaborative team that rewards ownership and initiative

What You’ll Do

  • Collaborate with product, data, and engineering teams to define ML goals and use cases
  • Develop, train, and deploy ML models for core features such as recommendation, classification, and ranking
  • Own the end-to-end ML lifecycle: data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, tuning, evaluation, and monitoring
  • Build scalable ML pipelines and infrastructure
  • Integrate models into backend services and user-facing applications
  • Monitor model performance and iterate based on real-world feedback and data
  • Stay current on AI/ML research and industry trends
  • Support debugging, testing, and production optimization of ML systems

You’ll Thrive Here If You...

  • Take full ownership — you don’t just build features, you care deeply about the outcomes they drive
  • Are a self-starter who figures things out, even when the path isn’t clearly defined
  • Embrace the intensity and urgency of startup life — shifting priorities, tight timelines, and high expectations energize you
  • Are comfortable wearing multiple hats, switching contexts, and solving problems across the stack
  • Have a bias for action — you move fast, experiment, and learn from doing
  • Value humility, collaboration, and helping others level up
  • Thrive in ambiguity and bring clarity through execution, not endless discussion
  • Constantly seek to improve yourself, your work, and the team — feedback is fuel, not friction

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or related field
  • 2–4 years of experience in machine learning, AI, or backend software engineering
  • Proficient in Python with experience using frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn
  • Solid understanding of the ML lifecycle — from data wrangling to deployment
  • Experience deploying models into real-world environments (APIs, cloud, etc.)
  • Familiar with tools like Jupyter, Google Colab, and Git
  • Strong analytical and communication skills
  • Based in Malaysia and able to work in a hybrid setup (KL HQ + remote)

Nice to Have

  • Experience in NLP, recommender systems, or computer vision
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Exposure to Docker, CI/CD, or MLOps tools
  • Previous experience in a startup or fast-growth tech company

What You’ll Get

  • Competitive salary and performance bonuses
  • Flexible hybrid working model (remote + in-office)
  • High-impact work that reaches millions across Southeast Asia
  • Flat team structure — fast decision-making, high visibility
  • Rapid career development in a mission-driven company
  • Cross-functional exposure to regional product and data teams
