React Frontend Engineer - Claims & Policy Automation (China, Remote)

BJAK is building AI-powered automation systems for insurance workflows. Customers and internal teams need clear interfaces to track quotes, policy issuance, endorsements, claims and next steps.

We're looking for talented Frontend Engineers based in China to build intuitive, high-performance web applications that power our claims and policy automation platform.

This is a fully remote position where you'll collaborate closely with our Malaysia-based engineering, product and operations teams.

YOUR MISSION

Build modern frontend applications that power BJAK's claims and policy automation systems. You'll create clear, reliable and high-performance user experiences that help customers and internal teams manage claims processing, policy issuance, endorsements and related insurance workflows with transparency and speed.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

• Build modern web applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript and other modern frontend technologies.

• Develop customer-facing and internal tools for claims processing and policy automation workflows.

• Collaborate with designers to translate UI/UX designs into high-quality, responsive interfaces.

• Integrate frontend applications with backend APIs and workflow orchestration systems.

• Visualize complex insurance processes such as claims status, approvals, document submissions and policy lifecycle tracking.

• Optimize applications for speed, reliability and scalable user experience.

• Participate in code reviews and contribute to frontend architecture and engineering standards.

• Work closely with backend engineers, product managers and QA throughout the development lifecycle.

• Stay current with frontend technologies and evolving workflow automation patterns.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

• Proven experience building production web applications as a Frontend Engineer or similar role.

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript.

• Experience with at least one modern frontend framework such as React, Next.js, Vue.js or Angular.

• Solid understanding of HTML5, CSS3 and responsive web development.

• Experience integrating frontend applications with RESTful APIs or backend services.

• Strong understanding of component-based architecture and frontend system design.

• Knowledge of web performance optimization techniques and frontend debugging tools.

• Experience with Git and modern development workflows.

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and collaborative software engineering practices.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to workflow accuracy and edge cases.

• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with distributed teams.

• Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, system-driven environment.

BONUS POINTS

• Experience building claims systems, insurance platforms or enterprise workflow tools.

• Experience with Next.js, Vite or modern frontend tooling.

• Experience with complex state management and multi-step workflow interfaces.

• Knowledge of backend technologies such as Node.js or Python.

• Understanding of authentication, authorization and web security best practices.

• Experience with testing frameworks such as Jest, Vitest, Cypress or Playwright.

• Experience with state management libraries such as Redux, Zustand or Pinia.

• Contributions to open-source projects or active participation in developer communities.

• Experience working with transaction-heavy, audit-driven or compliance-oriented systems.

THE KIND OF BUILDER WE WANT

• Thinks in terms of workflows, state transitions and system correctness—not just UI components.

• Pays close attention to edge cases, error states and data accuracy.

• Builds clean, maintainable and scalable frontend systems.

• Takes ownership from implementation through production reliability.

• Balances engineering quality with execution speed.

• Enjoys solving complex, high-stakes product problems.

• Excited about building automation-heavy insurance systems with real operational impact.

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR

• Engineers who only focus on UI without understanding workflow logic.

• Developers who ignore edge cases or system complexity.

• People who require overly detailed specifications before building.

• Engineers who produce fragile or hard-to-maintain code.

• Individuals uncomfortable working in fast-moving, system-critical environments.

SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE

You'll be successful if you can:

• Deliver clear, reliable interfaces for claims and policy automation workflows.

• Improve visibility and accuracy of insurance process states across systems.

• Build scalable frontend architecture for complex operational workflows.

• Reduce operational errors through better UI design and system clarity.

• Become a strong engineering partner across product, backend and operations teams.
