OKX - Product Manager / Director, Trading Products
Requirements
• underlying trading mechanics • This role sits at the intersection of product design and trading logic. You will work on how users discover, price, place, and manage trades (pre-trade / trade / post-trade), while also owning the correctness and soundness of the core mechanisms beneath the surface — margin models, funding rate formulas, liquidation logic, risk parameter design, and order/matching behavior. You will work closely with engineering, risk, quant, and design teams to ship trading features that are intuitive for users and rigorous under the hood. • Prior hands-on experience in trading — either within crypto (exchange product, quant, trading desk) or in traditional finance (equities, futures, FX, derivatives) — with direct exposure to how trading products and mechanisms are designed and operated. • Solid understanding of core trading concepts: margin/leverage, order types, market microstructure, risk management, and P&L mechanics. • Comfortable reading and reasoning through trading formulas (e.g. mark price, funding rate, liquidation price) and translating them into clear product logic. • (b) High-Potential Talent • Strong quantitative/analytical foundation — a background in mathematics, physics, statistics, engineering, or a related quantitative discipline, with strong academic performance. • High self-drive and fast learning ability — demonstrated track record of picking up complex, technical domains quickly and independently, even without prior trading experience. • Genuine intellectual curiosity about financial markets and trading mechanics, with the rigor to work through formulas and edge cases rather than relying on surface-level understanding. • 3+ years of product management experience (or equivalent hands-on experience in quant/trading roles for candidates from profile (a)). • Strong technical intuition — comfortable discussing system architecture and data flows with engineers, and reasoning through quantitative models. You don't need to be a developer, but you think with the rigor of one. • Excellent communication skills — able to write a precise, technically sound PRD, and to explain complex trading mechanics clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. • High agency and execution velocity — comfortable operating in ambiguity, moving from open question to shipped solution, and making decisions with incomplete information. • Genuine passion for crypto and trading — actively uses trading products, understands order types and market microstructure, and can explain how margin, leverage, or liquidation mechanics work. Ideally, you have skin in the game. • Proficiency in Mandarin is required to communicate effectively with internal engineering and product stakeholders in the China-based R&D center. • Nice-To-Haves • Nice-To-Haves • Experience with derivatives products (perpetual futures, options) either as a builder or an active trader. • Familiarity with risk parameter design (margin tiers, liquidation engines, insurance funds) at an exchange or financial institution. • Quantitative modeling experience (e.g. Python, SQL) sufficient to validate trading formulas or backtest mechanism changes. • Prior work in a high-growth crypto exchange, trading firm, or fintech company. • Fluency in English is preferred to better support communication with global product and business stakeholders.
Responsibilities
• Own the product roadmap for AI Trading features — From AI-assisted strategy recommendations, conversational trading interfaces, and intelligent risk alerts, to autonomous trading agents. Define the vision, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship iteratively. • Own the product roadmap for AI Trading features • Translate complex AI capabilities into intuitive user experiences — Bridge the gap between LLM/Agent technology and real user needs; design product flows that make advanced trading intelligence accessible to both novice and expert traders. • Translate complex AI capabilities into intuitive user experiences • Drive the full product lifecycle — Conduct user research, write detailed PRDs, collaborate with engineering on technical feasibility, run experiments, analyze data, and iterate based on real-world feedback and trading performance metrics. • Drive the full product lifecycle • Build deep domain expertise at the intersection of AI and trading — Stay on top of the latest developments in LLMs, AI agents (MCP, tool-use, ReAct loops), prompt engineering, and crypto market structure; translate emerging capabilities into product opportunities before competitors do. • Build deep domain expertise at the intersection of AI and trading • Collaborate cross-functionally — Work with data scientists on model evaluation, with backend engineers on API and infrastructure design, with UX designers on interaction patterns, and with business teams on go-to-market strategy. • Collaborate cross-functionally • Shape the AI product strategy — Contribute to the broader AI trading vision, including platform-level decisions around open ecosystem (SDK/MCP), AI advisor, auto-execution, and user data leverage. • Shape the AI product strategy • What We Look For In You • 3+ years of product management experience, with at least 1 year focused on AI/ML-powered products (chatbots, recommendation systems, AI agents, copilots, or similar). Crypto/fintech product experience is a strong advantage. • 3+ years of product management experience • Deep understanding of AI product paradigms — Ability to articulate the differences between RAG, fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and agent-based architectures, and know when to apply each. You have hands-on experience with LLM-based product design, evaluation, and iteration. • Deep understanding of AI product paradigms • Strong technical intuition — Comfortable reading API documentation, discussing system architecture with engineers, understanding data pipelines, and prototyping with tools like Python, prompt playgrounds, or no-code/low-code AI platforms. You don't need to be a developer, but you think like one. • Strong technical intuition • Genuine passion for crypto and trading — Actively uses crypto trading products, understand order types, market microstructure, and can explain how a grid bot or DCA strategy works. Ideally, you have skin in the game. • Genuine passion for crypto and trading • High agency and execution velocity — Thrive in ambiguity, move fast from "vague idea" to "shipped MVP", and are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information. You don't wait for permission; you build conviction and drive alignment. • High agency and execution velocity • Excellent communication skills — Ability to write a crisp PRD, present a compelling product strategy to leadership, and facilitate productive debates with engineers. You adapt your communication style across audiences and cultures.
