OKX is also a trusted brand by hundreds of large institutions seeking access to crypto markets. We are safe and reliable, backed by our Proof of Reserves. \nAcross our multiple offices globally, we are united by our core principles: We Before Me, Do the Right Thing, and Get Things Done. These shared values drive our culture, shape our processes, and foster a friendly, rewarding, and diverse environment for every OK-er.\nOKX is part of OKG, a group that brings the value of Blockchain to users around the world, through our leading products OKX, OKX Wallet, OKLink and more.\nAbout The Opportunity\nWe are building the foundational data infrastructure that powers one of the world's leading crypto exchanges. As a Big Data Platform Engineer, you will design, build, and evolve the core platform services that enable hundreds of data engineers and analysts to move fast and ship reliable pipelines. You will be at the forefront of our AI agent initiative - embedding LLM-driven capabilities directly into the platform layer so that scheduling, cost optimization, and incident response increasingly run autonomously.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing \nPlatform Core: Design and operate large-scale distributed data systems\n\nOwn the big data compute and storage infrastructure (MaxCompute/ODPS, Hologres, Spark)\n\nBuild and maintain multi-site task orchestration that dynamically selects engines and enforces policy\n\nDrive reliability and performance improvements across batch and real-time pipelines\n\nAI Integration: Build the AI-native platform layer\n\nDevelop and expose MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool interfaces so AI agents can interact with platform APIs\n\nBuild the scheduling and cost-optimization agents that auto-tune resource allocation and alert severity\n\nInstrument platform telemetry to feed AI-driven SLA monitoring and anomaly detection\n\nDesign context retrieval pipelines (RAG / vector search) for SQL code and config knowledge bases\n\nTooling & DX: Evolve the developer experience\n\nOwn the internal data development platform - IDE integrations, code review automation, deployment tooling\n\nBuild APIs-first tools (backfill, ingestion automation) designed for future MCP integration\n\nCollaborate with data warehouse and service teams to define platform contracts\n\nOps& Governance: Drive operational excellence\n\nEstablish SLA benchmarks, cost metrics, and latency dashboards as AI optimization targets\n\nBuild automated incident response and root-cause analysis pipelines\n\nDefine and enforce infrastructure policies across multi-cloud environments\n\nAI Agent Ownership - Platform Tier\nScheduling Agent: auto-configure task dependencies, engine selection, cost/performance trade-offs, and alert tiers\n\nOperations Agent: detect pipeline latency, performance degradation, and schema drift; trigger remediation\n\nIncident Response Agent: trace SLA breaches to root cause, assign accountability, generate post-mortems\n\nMCP Tool Layer: design and maintain the cross-platform tool interfaces that all agents call into\n\nWhat We Look For In You \n5+ years of experience building large-scale data platforms (Hadoop/Spark/Flink or equivalent)\n\nDeep expertise in distributed storage and compute systems (MaxCompute, Hologres, ClickHouse, Hive)\n\nStrong software engineering skills in Java, Scala, or Python; experience with API-first design\n\nHands-on experience with task scheduling systems (Airflow, DolphinScheduler, or in-house equivalents)\n\nSolid understanding of multi-cloud architectures and cost governance\n\nFamiliarity with LLM integration patterns: tool calling, RAG pipelines, context management\n\nExperience with MCP or similar agent-tool frameworks is a strong plus\n\nPassion for building systems that make other engineers 10x more productive\n\nPerks & Benefits \nCompetitive total compensation package\n\nL&D programs and education subsidy for employees' growth and development\nVarious team building programs and company events\n\nWellness and meal allowances\nComprehensive healthcare schemes for employees and dependants\nMore that we love to tell you along the process!\nNotice:\nAll official OKXvacancies are published on this website.While roles may appear on selected third-party platforms from time to time, information on other sites may be inaccurate or outdated.
