BJAK is transforming the insurance industry through AI. We're building intelligent workflow platforms that automate complex insurance operations - from quotations and policy issuance to claims, approvals and customer servicing. We're looking for an experienced Frontend Engineer based in the United Kingdom to help build intuitive, high-performance web applications that power our next-generation workflow automation platform.

This is a fully remote role where you'll work alongside product managers, designers and engineers across our global team to create software that simplifies complex operational processes through exceptional user experience.

Your Mission

Build modern frontend applications that make complex workflows simple.

You'll create intuitive, scalable and reliable user experiences that help customers and internal teams navigate insurance processes with clarity - from quotations and policy issuance to claims, endorsements and approvals.

What You'll Do

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

• Develop customer-facing products alongside internal workflow automation platforms.

• Translate product and UX designs into responsive, polished user interfaces.

• Integrate frontend applications with backend APIs, workflow engines and automation services.

• Design intuitive interfaces for complex workflows, including status tracking, approvals, document management and next-step guidance.

• Optimise application performance, scalability and reliability.

• Build reusable components and maintain a scalable frontend architecture.

• Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards and best practices.

• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, backend engineers and QA throughout the product lifecycle.

• Continuously improve code quality, performance and user experience.

What We're Looking For

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

• Proven experience building production-grade web applications.

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript and TypeScript.

• Commercial experience with React and modern frontend frameworks such as Next.js.

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

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

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

• Experience optimising frontend performance and debugging production applications.

• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD pipelines and modern software development practices.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to detail.

• Excellent communication skills and experience working within distributed engineering teams.

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

Nice to Have

• Experience building workflow automation platforms, enterprise software or internal productivity tools.

• Experience designing complex, state-driven user interfaces.

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

• Familiarity with Node.js or Python.

• Experience with Redux, Zustand or other state management libraries.

• Experience with Playwright, Cypress, Jest or Vitest.

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

• Experience with event-driven architectures or workflow orchestration platforms.

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

The Kind of Engineer We're Looking For

• Thinks in terms of systems, workflows and user journeys rather than individual screens.

• Enjoys simplifying complex processes into intuitive user experiences.

• Pays close attention to application states, edge cases and failure handling.

• Writes clean, maintainable and scalable code.

• Takes ownership from implementation through production.

• Balances engineering quality with speed of execution.

• Enjoys solving technically challenging product problems with measurable business impact.

• Excited about building AI-powered workflow automation products used at scale.

This Role Isn't Right If You

• Focus only on implementing UI without understanding how the underlying system works.

• Prefer highly detailed specifications over solving product and engineering challenges.

• Overlook edge cases, application states or production reliability.

• Produce code that's difficult to maintain or scale.

• Prefer slow-moving environments over fast-paced product development.

Success in This Role

You'll be successful if you can:

• Deliver intuitive, reliable interfaces for complex operational workflows.

• Simplify multi-step processes through thoughtful frontend design.

• Build scalable frontend architecture that supports AI-powered automation.

• Reduce operational friction by improving visibility into workflow status and next actions.

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