Before joining Arzinger, Malskyy worked as a lawyer in the international arbitration team at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in Paris. He has been head of Arzinger's Western Ukrainian branch in Lviv since 2009.[8]

In 2014, he won a public competition for the post of the head of the main department of the State Fiscal Service in Lviv region. After the interview with Roman Nasirov, Malskyy declined the offer because of differences in the vision of the development and goals of the Fiscal Service.[10]
In June 2019, President Zelensky nominated Malskyy as candidate for the post of the head of the Lviv Regional State Administration (LODA) for public discussion. At first, Malsky refused, saying that he did not want to leave the post of honorary consul of Austria and that he was working on his doctoral thesis, but after receiving great support in public discussion, he agreed.[11]
On 5 July 2019, Zelensky officially appointed Malsky to the post of head of the LODA and, on December 24, during a meeting of the Community and Territories Development Council, announced his dismissal from office.[12] Malsky also announced his dismissal on social media and briefly summarized the results of his work during his term as the head of LODA.[13] He was officially dismissed from the post on 26 December 2019.[14]
