Cloud Engineer - Automation Infrastructure (Remote, China)

BJAK’s automation systems support end-to-end insurance journeys across quote generation, policy issuance, claims, renewals, payments and insurer integrations. These systems are business-critical, where infrastructure reliability directly impacts customer experience and operational performance.

We're looking for a Cloud Engineer based in China to design, build and maintain the cloud infrastructure that powers BJAK’s AI automation platform, ensuring scalability, security and reliability across all environments.

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

The Mission

Build and maintain a scalable, secure and reliable cloud infrastructure that powers BJAK’s automation systems, enabling fast delivery of features while ensuring stable and efficient production operations.

What You’ll Own

  • Design, build and maintain cloud infrastructure supporting BJAK’s automation platform.

  • Manage cloud environments across development, staging and production.

  • Build and improve infrastructure-as-code for scalable and repeatable deployments.

  • Design and optimize CI/CD pipelines for safe, fast and consistent releases.

  • Improve system observability through monitoring, logging and alerting solutions.

  • Ensure infrastructure security, including access control, secrets management and network configuration.

  • Support high-availability systems for business-critical insurance workflows across regions.

  • Work closely with engineers to improve deployment architecture and reduce operational risk.

  • Automate infrastructure provisioning, scaling and operational tasks.

  • Continuously improve system reliability, performance and cost efficiency.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience in cloud engineering, DevOps, SRE or platform engineering roles.

  • Strong knowledge of cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP or Azure.

  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation or similar).

  • Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.

  • Experience with containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.

  • Strong understanding of networking, security and cloud architecture fundamentals.

  • Ability to troubleshoot production infrastructure issues in a structured and calm manner.

  • Experience supporting production systems with high availability requirements.

  • Strong ownership mindset with attention to reliability and operational excellence.

  • Practical judgment on scalability, security, performance and cost trade-offs.

Bonus Points

  • Experience building cloud-native infrastructure for high-traffic systems.

  • Experience with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, etc.).

  • Experience with multi-region or distributed cloud architectures.

  • Experience with zero-downtime deployments, blue-green or canary strategies.

  • Experience with security best practices in cloud environments.

  • Experience in fintech, insurance or other regulated industries.

  • Familiarity with service mesh or advanced networking in cloud environments.

  • Contributions to infrastructure automation or platform engineering projects.

  • Experience optimizing cloud cost and performance at scale.

The Kind of Builder We Want

  • Thinks in systems, infrastructure and long-term scalability.

  • Hands-on engineer who is comfortable deep in cloud and production environments.

  • Calm and structured during incidents and infrastructure failures.

  • Strong focus on reliability, security and operational discipline.

  • Proactive in preventing issues rather than reacting to them.

  • Careful and deliberate when making production changes.

  • Builds infrastructure that enables engineers to ship safely and efficiently.

This Role Is Not For

  • Engineers who only react to infrastructure issues instead of preventing them.

  • People who are careless with production environments or access control.

  • Candidates who ignore monitoring, alerting or operational discipline.

  • Individuals who make risky infrastructure changes without proper analysis.

  • Engineers who cannot stay calm during incidents or outages.

Success in This Role

You'll be successful if you can:

  • Build stable, scalable and secure cloud infrastructure for production systems.

  • Improve deployment speed, safety and consistency across environments.

  • Reduce infrastructure-related incidents and operational risk.

  • Strengthen observability, monitoring and system visibility.

  • Enable engineering teams to deploy and operate systems with confidence.
