Technical Product Lead - AI Investing

About BJAK

BJAK’s mission is to help people get smarter ways to plan, save and grow their money. Founded in 2019, we built the first mobile-first insurance platform in Southeast Asia, making insurance accessible online for millions. Today we are the region’s leading insurance platform and are expanding into spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling and more. Our teams span offices and remote locations across over 20 nationalities, and we look for driven people who work for passion, not hours, who love building next-generation products and redefining financial applications for everyone.

About the role

BJAK is building an AI Investing Superapp for Southeast Asia across payments, remittance, insurance, wealth and trading—products that move real money. Reliability, regulatory requirements and third-party financial rails are fundamental, not afterthoughts. The Technical Product Lead owns a product vertical end-to-end: strategy and outcomes through technical design, delivery and launch. We are AI-native by default, but AI is a means, not the goal. The bar is knowing where AI genuinely improves an outcome, where deterministic systems must remain in control, and how to build products that are reliable, auditable and trusted.

What You'll Own

• Owning a product vertical end-to-end, including strategy, metrics, roadmap, priorities and delivery.
• Shaping technical design with engineering across APIs, data flows, ledgering, reconciliation, failure handling, security and scalability.
• Driving trade-offs across correctness, speed, cost, reliability, regulatory requirements and user experience.
• Building regulatory requirements into the product across KYC, transaction monitoring, limits, privacy and licensing.
• Applying AI where it improves outcomes, with clear evaluation, safeguards, human oversight and failure handling.
• Shipping products around external dependencies, including regulatory approvals, financial rails and third-party partners.
• Aligning Engineering, Design, Compliance, Operations, Treasury and Finance around clear product decisions and launch requirements.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of product management experience, including ownership of complex technical products from strategy through production.
• Strong technical foundation across system architecture, APIs, databases, workflows, failure modes and distributed systems.
• Experience working closely with engineers and ability to review, challenge and contribute to technical designs.
• Experience in payments, banking, remittance, insurance, trading or another regulated, high-consequence product domain.
• Strong product judgment and ability to make difficult trade-offs under technical, regulatory and operational constraints.
• Experience building with LLMs or AI products, including evaluation, reliability and understanding when AI should not be used.
• Nice to have: Engineering or highly technical product background; experience building zero-to-one fintech or consumer products; experience defining evaluation frameworks for ML or LLM-powered products.

Outcome

• Clear vertical strategy and legible roadmap.
• Ships fast and clears the gates that actually block launch.
• Money is correct and users are never misled about the state of their funds.
• AI features are valuable, predictable and trusted.
• Trade-offs made deliberately under uncertainty and hold up when challenged.
• Engineering, design, compliance, and operations are aligned with minimal friction.

Location

This is a remote role. We hire globally and work across multiple countries and time zones. Candidates should be comfortable working effectively in a distributed, fast-moving international team and collaborating with colleagues across different locations. English is our main working language; strong English communication is required.
