Software Engineer

You must be based in Kuala Lumpur / Klang Valley and already have the right to work in Malaysia. Day-to-day work can be remote within KL, but you'll come into our KL office when the business needs it. We do not sponsor visas or relocation.

Obiguard’s inspection pipeline sits in the critical path between customer applications and their LLMs — every prompt and response passes through it in single-digit milliseconds. As a Software Engineer, you’ll build and harden this pipeline: the detectors, the policy engine, and the audit ledger that enterprise security teams depend on in production. This is a forward-deployed engineering role — during pilots, you may be deployed on-site at client offices for stretches of up to three weeks at a time, debugging integration issues and production incidents in person.

• Design, build, and ship detectors for the inspection pipeline — covering PII, prompt injection, toxicity, and framework-specific policy rules.
• Improve p50/p99 latency on the synchronous, in-path inspection layer without compromising detection accuracy.
• Own services end-to-end: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and on-call.
• Work directly with customers during pilots to debug production incidents and edge cases in real deployments.
• Collaborate with the AI Safety Research team to turn new attack research into shipped detectors.
• Contribute to the audit ledger and framework-mapping systems that back our compliance guarantees.

• 3+ years building production backend systems, ideally in Go, Python, or Rust.
• Comfortable working in the critical path of a low-latency system — you think in milliseconds, not seconds.
• Experience with distributed systems, observability, and debugging production incidents under pressure.
• Solid understanding of security fundamentals; prior application security or infra security experience is a strong plus.
• Bias toward shipping — comfortable owning a feature from design doc to production rollout.
• Comfortable with extended client-site deployments — this is a forward-deployed role, with on-site stints of up to three weeks at a time during active pilots.

• Experience building or operating LLM-adjacent infrastructure (RAG pipelines, agent frameworks, model gateways).
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF).
• Open-source contributions to security or infra tooling.
