Job Overview
We are at a historical turning point where AI is reshaping financial infrastructure. As an AI Agent Architect, you will be a core builder of our AI intelligent system - not just writing code, but defining how next-generation financial-grade agents perceive market signals, plan execution paths, maintain business context memory, and collaborate across systems. You will lead the creation of an agent ecosystem capable of handling real-world financial scenarios, covering core businesses such as trading assistance, risk assessment, compliance monitoring, and intelligent user services, enabling AI to autonomously complete complex tasks in the high-speed, high-pressure, and highly compliant environment of crypto finance. Here, there are no vaguely defined roles, but rather technical decision-making power that directly impacts the experience of hundreds of millions of users, alongside an elite engineering team with a high-density understanding of LLM and Agent technologies.
Core Responsibilities
1.
Agent System Architecture Design: Lead the design of the AI agent architecture, define the operating model, lifecycle management, and resource isolation strategies for agents on the Openclaw platform; build the agent capability foundation to support core financial scenarios such as trading assistance, risk assessment, and compliance monitoring, ensuring the system runs stably under conditions of high concurrency, low latency, and strict compliance constraints.
2.
Financial Scenario Agent Engineering implementation: Convert business requirements such as trading signal analysis, risk identification, regulatory compliance, and intelligent customer service into executable Agent workflows; design task planning pipelines (ReAct / Plan-and-Execute), exception fallback mechanisms, and result verification systems to drive Agents quickly from PoC to production environments.
3.
Openclaw platform construction and evolution: Deeply participate in the architectural evolution and performance optimization of the Openclaw Agent Runtime; design plugin systems, capability registration centers, and multi-Agent orchestration mechanisms to reduce onboarding costs for business teams and continuously improve the platform's scalability and reuse rate.
4.
Tool ecosystem and internal system integration: Build a standardized tool calling framework to connect Bybit's internal trading engine, risk control systems, data platforms, and external APIs; design tool permission controls, call chain tracking, and error recovery mechanisms; integrate standard protocols like MCP to build a financial-grade heterogeneous tool ecosystem.
5.
Production quality and observability system: Lead the construction of observability for the Agent system, including Trace tracking, Evaluation, cost monitoring, and latency management; establish Agent quality baselines and regression testing systems for financial scenarios to continuously improve system stability and explainability.
6.
Technical foresight and team empowerment: Continuously track frontier developments in the Agent field and translate research findings into AI engineering practices; establish team Agent development standards and best practices, and promote the overall improvement of the team's AI-native engineering capabilities through Code Reviews, technical sharing, and roadmap reviews.
Qualifications
1.
Solid LLM/Agent engineering experience: Possess 3+ years of experience in AI system development, including at least 1 year of experience in production-level implementation of Large Language Models (LLM), RAG, or Agent systems; have practical experience in developing and optimizing the Openclaw platform, be familiar with its Agent Runtime architecture, plugin systems, and multi-Agent orchestration mechanisms, and be able to independently complete the engineering implementation and performance tuning of complex Agent applications based on Openclaw.
2.
System architecture capabilities: Possess distributed system design capabilities, and be familiar with engineering patterns such as microservice architectures, message queues (Kafka / RabbitMQ), and asynchronous task scheduling; capable of independently completing the full decision-making link from requirements analysis and architectural design to technology selection.
3.
Programming skills: Proficient in at least one backend language (Golang / Java / Node.js); possess capabilities in REST API design and Docker / Kubernetes containerized deployment.
4.
Understanding of core LLM technology: Deep understanding of Transformer architecture, Attention mechanisms, and Prompt Engineering (CoT, Few-shot, Structured Output); familiar with mainstream model APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini) and local deployment solutions (Ollama, vLLM).
5.
Engineering Quality Awareness: Possess good code design habits (design patterns, unit testing, CI/CD); have practical experience in building LLM Evaluation systems or Agent Tracing (LangSmith / Phoenix / Langfuse).
Bonus Items
-
Have research or engineering experience in planning/reasoning combining MCTS, A*, or Reinforcement Learning (RL) with LLMs; familiar with SFT / RLHF training workflows.
-
Have experience in deploying Agent systems in Finance, Web3, Compliance, or other high-complexity vertical domains; understand the special constraints domain knowledge imposes on Agent design.
-
Have open-source contributions or have published papers related to Agent / RAG / LLM at top conferences such as NeurIPS / ICML / ACL / ICLR.
-
Possess experience in Multimodal Agent development, including unstructured data processing capabilities such as image-text understanding and document parsing (PDF / financial reports / research reports).
-
Familiar with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or have participated in the design and implementation of Agent standard protocols.
About the Role
We're at an inflection point where AI is fundamentally reshaping financial infrastructure. As an AI Agent Architect, you will be a core builder of AI's intelligent ecosystem - not just writing code, but defining how next-generation financial-grade Agents perceive market signals, plan execution paths, retain business context, and orchestrate across systems. You will lead the construction of Agent capabilities purpose-built for real financial scenarios: trading intelligence, risk assessment, compliance monitoring, and smart user services - engineered to operate autonomously in crypto finance's high-velocity, high-stakes, and high-compliance environment.This is a role with genuine technical ownership. You'll make architectural decisions that directly shape the experience of hundreds of millions of users, alongside an elite engineering team with exceptional depth in LLM and Agent technology.
