Technical Product Lead - AI Stockbroking

About BJAK

BJAK’s mission is to provide smarter ways for people to plan, save, and grow their money. Founded in 2019, the company built the first mobile-first insurance platform in Southeast Asia, making insurance accessible online to millions. Today, it is the region’s leading insurance platform and is expanding into spending, saving, investing, exchanging, traveling, and more. The mission is to help people get more from their money every day. Teams span offices and remote locations across over 20 nationalities, and the company seeks driven individuals who are passionate about building next-generation financial products rather than maintaining the status quo.

The Role

BJAK is building an AI-native stockbroking superapp for Southeast Asia across payments, remittance, insurance, wealth, and trading. These products move real money, so reliability, regulatory requirements, and third-party financial rails are fundamental—not afterthoughts. The Technical Product Lead owns a product vertical end-to-end, from strategy and outcomes through technical design, delivery, and launch. While AI-native by default, AI is a means to an end: the focus is on knowing where AI genuinely improves outcomes, 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 the 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 the 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.
