Job summary

Bybit in Kuala Lumpur is seeking an experienced software/ML engineer to work on large language model integrations, prompt engineering, streaming, and tool calls. You will build features across the stack and help monitor production.

Required skills include hands-on experience with LLM APIs, Git, tests, debugging, and SQL. Nice-to-have MCP or agent frameworks and experience with coding agents.

Qualifications

• Built something real with LLM APIs: prompting, streaming, tool calling, failure handling.
• Git, tests, and debugging to root cause instead of guessing.
• SQL and enough data sense to spot an outlier skewing an average.

Responsibilities

• Ship features on the stack — gateway routing, MCP servers, agent workflows, knowledge base, or a user-facing AI feature.
• Build the evals that prove a prompt or retrieval change helped, before it reaches users.
• Prototype in days, then add tests and logging for production monitoring.
• Pull adoption, cost, and quality data, and report findings.
• Talk to users (internal or external); their complaints are the roadmap.
