Data Engineer

As an AI Strategy Engineer at Bybit, you will transform crypto market opportunities into executable AI-powered applications. You research arbitrage strategies, design AI-driven execution systems, and deliver products that give ordinary users access to institutional-grade capabilities. You combine quantitative strategy expertise with AI Agent frameworks to build automated systems that drive user retention and asset growth.

What you'll do

• Research executable arbitrage opportunities in crypto markets including funding rate arbitrage, basis trading, stablecoin yield strategies, and cross-exchange arbitrage. Complete strategy logic design, historical backtesting, and risk-adjusted return validation.
• Package quantitative strategies into user-facing AI applications. Design execution workflows, trigger conditions, position management, and risk controls for scenarios such as one-click arbitrage, automated yield optimization, and promotional opportunity capturing.
• Build a multi-source market intelligence capability integrating exchange market data, on-chain data, and community sentiment signals. Use AI models to identify hot opportunities, entry timing, and take-profit/stop-loss strategies.
• Design risk frameworks for each strategy class, including maximum drawdown controls, dynamic position calibration, and circuit breakers for extreme market conditions. Analyze live strategy performance and drive iterative optimization.
• Develop a deep understanding of different user personas and translate strategy capabilities into perceivable product value, defining core interaction logic, return visualization, and risk communication.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate strategies with exchange APIs and drive the delivery of automated strategy execution with unified cross-exchange asset management.

What you bring

• Strong command of crypto derivatives market mechanics including perpetual contract funding rates, delivery futures basis dynamics, stablecoin protocol yield structures, and DeFi protocol return mechanisms
• Proficiency in Python for strategy development and data analysis using Pandas, NumPy, and backtesting frameworks
• Experience with exchange API integration and working with market tick data and funding rate history
• Hands-on experience building LLM applications or AI Agents, with the ability to encapsulate strategy logic as agent-callable tools
• Business acumen and product thinking to identify actionable strategy opportunities from a user-value perspective and translate complex quantitative strategies into understandable, actionable product experiences

Nice to have

• Familiarity with on-chain analytics tools such as Dune, Nansen, or Glassnode
• Experience developing and operating automated trading systems (quant trading bots, grid strategies, DCA systems, etc.)
• Understanding of AI-driven signal generation with practical experience combining market sentiment and quantitative models
