About the role

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.
The Role
Protect BJAK's sensitive customer and business data across products, data platforms, and third-party services. Partner with Data, Engineering, Product, Legal, and Compliance to apply privacy-by-design and reduce risks.

Map data flows and assess privacy and security risks across applications, analytics, integrations, and third-party providers.

Implement encryption, tokenization, masking, anonymization, retention, and least-privilege data access controls.

Assess customer data shared with third-party AI model vendors and define minimization, approved use, retention, and access controls.

Own data and privacy controls for SC TRM and BNM RMiT, including assessments, evidence, remediation, and audit support.

Support privacy impact assessments, access reviews, monitoring, incident response, and privacy-by-design reviews.

What We Look For

Degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Data Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.

3+ years in data security, privacy engineering, security engineering, or data platform engineering.

Experience implementing and owning SC TRM and BNM RMiT controls relevant to data protection and technology risk.

Understanding of privacy-by-design, data classification, retention, access management, and third-party data sharing.

Knowledge of encryption, key management, masking, tokenization, anonymization, and secure data processing.

Familiarity with applicable privacy and security frameworks and ability to collaborate across technical and compliance teams.
