Machine Learning Engineer (Remote)

📍 Working arrangement: Germany (Remote — work from anywhere in Germany)

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 intelligent automation and fraud detection. Your work will have a direct and visible impact on millions of users across the region.

This is a remote role based in Germany, working closely with our HQ in Malaysia and cross-functional teams across product, data, and engineering. You’ll be part of a fast-paced, execution-driven environment where your ideas help shape real-world solutions.

Why This Role Matters

• You’ll design and scale ML solutions that directly impact user experience and operational efficiency

• You’ll contribute to robust, production-grade systems used by millions

• You’ll work across a variety of use cases and collaborate closely with product, engineering, and data

• You’ll grow quickly in a lean, ambitious team with regional influence

What You’ll Do

• Collaborate with product managers, data scientists, and engineers to define machine learning goals and use cases

• Build, train, and deploy models to power features like recommendation, classification, ranking, or detection

• Manage the full ML lifecycle: data wrangling, feature engineering, training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring

• Develop and maintain scalable ML pipelines and infrastructure

• Integrate models into production systems and user-facing applications

• Analyze model performance and retrain based on feedback and evolving data

• Stay up to date on relevant AI/ML advancements and contribute to innovation

• Support debugging, testing, and performance optimization of ML systems

You’ll Thrive Here If You...

• Own outcomes, not just tasks - you care deeply about real-world results, not just shipping code or hitting accuracy targets

• Figure things out fast - when direction is unclear, you don’t wait; you explore, test, and make progress

• Move with urgency - you’re excited by fast-moving environments, quick iterations, and shifting priorities

• Solve problems end-to-end - from messy data to model deployment, you chase the solution across the stack

• Wear multiple hats - you’re not limited by role boundaries; you jump in where needed and learn fast

• Thrive on feedback, iteration, and learning - you improve things daily, including yourself

• Turn chaos into clarity - you bring structure, action, and momentum when others are stuck

• Stay humble and hungry - you’re a strong individual contributor who makes the team stronger

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related technical field

• 2 - 4 years of experience in machine learning, AI, or backend software development

• Proficient in Python and experienced with ML frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn

• Strong understanding of ML development: preprocessing, model building, evaluation, and deployment

• Experience deploying models in production via APIs or cloud infrastructure

• Familiar with Jupyter, version control tools (Git), and collaborative coding practices

• Strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills

• Must be based in Germany and able to work remotely with regional teams

Nice to Have

• Experience with NLP, recommender systems, or computer vision

• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure

• Exposure to containerization tools like Docker and CI/CD processes

• Background in fast-growth startups or agile product environments

What You’ll Get

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses

• Flexible, remote-first work from anywhere in Germany

• High-impact role with visibility across product, engineering, and leadership

• Flat structure - your work is seen and your voice matters

• Fast learning curve with room to grow alongside a mission-driven company

• Regional exposure across Southeast Asia’s most exciting fintech markets
