OKX - Senior/Staff Software Engineer, Liquidity Platform, Risk & Analytics

• Build the Next-Generation Risk System (Green-Field): Join a green-field initiative to re-architect and implement our next-generation risk platform in Java from the ground up. You'll have meaningful ownership over technology choices, architecture, and engineering culture for a system that will become the backbone of risk management across our liquidity business. • Develop Advanced Risk Solutions: Design and implement internal risk monitoring and management systems tailored to strategic and business needs — including real-time market data analysis, PnL and risk calculations, automated alerting, reporting tools, circuit-breaking strategies, and high-availability architecture. • Strengthen Risk Controls: Optimize existing risk control frameworks and logic to enhance system efficiency, prevent or minimize losses during market volatility, and ensure effective risk mitigation under diverse market scenarios. • Continuous Improvement: Collaborate with risk managers and product managers to gather feedback and refine the risk management system through iterative development. • Drive Cross-Functional Projects: Oversee project progress and coordinate with trading desk developers, risk managers, operations teams, and other key stakeholders to deliver high-quality solutions on time. • Mentor & Share Knowledge: Guide junior engineers in establishing best practices and methodologies for building and maintaining risk control systems. • What We Look For In You • Passion for Finance & Technology: Strong enthusiasm for trading, blockchain, and the broader financial industry. • Basic Financial Knowledge: Working understanding of financial markets, instruments, and core concepts such as PnL, margin, leverage, and market risk. Prior experience building or operating risk systems is a strong plus. • Educational Background: Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical discipline. A combined background in finance is highly advantageous. • Industry Experience: 5+ years of experience in quantitative trading or front-office technology roles at exchanges, banks, or investment institutions. Experience with market-making teams, crypto exchanges, or event-contract / prediction-market platforms is a significant plus. • Technical Expertise: • Programming: Advanced Python skills; Java proficiency strongly preferred given the greenfield re-platforming work. • Data & Messaging: SQL, Redis, and Kafka. • Cloud: Familiarity with major cloud platforms such as AliCloud or AWS. • APIs: Practical experience with RESTful APIs and web services. • Environment: Comfortable navigating Linux/Unix shell environments. • Agentic Programming Fluency: Familiarity with agentic programming concepts (LLM-powered coding agents, tool use, multi-step autonomous workflows) and actively using them — either in your day-to-day work or through serious self-directed learning. Hands-on use of agentic coding tools such as Claude Code or Codex on real production work is a significant plus. We expect engineers on this team to amplify themselves with AI tooling, not just talk about it. • Risk & Compliance Mindset: Strong aptitude for risk control and compliance, with the ability to adapt systems to evolving control and regulatory requirements. • Analytical & Collaborative Skills: Strong logical thinking, effective teamwork, and excellent communication skills. Proven ability to organize and align resources to solve complex problems and achieve cross-departmental objectives.
