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.\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for a technical lead who can own the frontend across OKX's core crypto business verticals. You'll be deeply involved in the full frontend delivery lifecycle across Trading, Web3, Payment, and beyond - not just writing code, but helping teams and products find the right direction, make the right calls, and execute with speed and precision.\nThis role demands the rigor of an engineer, the strategic thinking of a product manager, and the market instincts of a crypto practitioner. You don't need to carry a full-stack title, but you must genuinely understand frontend, have enough backend fluency to hold your own in architecture discussions, and - above all - understand the business.\nCore Responsibilities\nBusiness & Team Leadership Own the overall frontend team across core business verticals including Trading and Payment, covering hiring, development, and pipeline building. Partner effectively with Product, Backend, Security, and Compliance - driving cross-functional outcomes through technical judgment, not just execution.\nProduct Delivery & Technical Execution Lead technical design and delivery for core business features including trading system frontend experience, wallet and asset management, AI-powered trading products, payment gateway integrations, and KYC/AML frontend implementation. Stay deeply sensitive to business metrics and user experience, making sound trade-offs between speed and quality.\nProduct & Engineering Thinking in the AI Era Demonstrate deep understanding of how AI is reshaping product paradigms - changing user expectations, product form factors, and R&D efficiency. Integrate AI into product decisions and design, not merely as a productivity tool.\nTechnical Judgment & Standard-Setting Drive tech stack alignment and evolution. Proactively identify and address technical risk. Establish high engineering quality standards in complex crypto security contexts - private key security, frontend attack prevention, compliance auditing, and more.\nCross-Team Influence Build dual technical and business influence at the company level. Communicate technical value and business judgment clearly to engineers, product managers, and senior leadership alike. Participate in industry engagements to attract high-potential talent who are genuinely passionate about crypto.\nRequirements\nBachelor's degree or above in CS or related field; 10+ years of engineering experience including 5+ years managing technical teams; solid full-stack capabilities with frontend depth\n\nDeep command of core frontend technologies (React/Vue internals, engineering toolchains, performance optimization, cross-platform solutions), with enough backend and API fluency to drive substantive technical discussions\n\nProven track record leading frontend for products with DAU 1M+ in high-concurrency, high-availability environments\n\nDemonstrated experience driving cross-team collaboration and standard adoption through technical influence rather than organizational authority\n\nIndustry Background (Partial Core)\n(Core) Genuine understanding of and enthusiasm for crypto - familiar with CEX/DEX trading mechanics, Web3 wallet and signing mechanisms, and mainstream payment gateway ecosystems\n\nExperience owning frontend delivery for trading, fintech, payments, or crypto products; comfortable navigating the tensions between compliance, security, and user experience\n\nFamiliarity with the Web3 frontend ecosystem (ethers.js / wagmi / viem, WalletConnect, EVM contract interactions, etc.)\n\nGlobal product experience - understands the complexity of multi-language, multi-currency, multi-jurisdiction compliance requirements\n\nEngineering Competencies for the AI Era (Core)\nDeep understanding of how AI is reshaping product design; can integrate AI into product decisions rather than treating it purely as a development accelerator\n\nStrong ability to model and frame complex problems; defines the right problem boundaries and system abstractions before reaching for solutions\n\nProven ability to constrain, guide, and evaluate AI outputs - decomposing complex engineering requirements into AI-executable task sequences\n\nExperience establishing team-level AI working patterns; familiar with and having practiced AI Spec-Driven Development\n\nMaintains high standards for code quality and system design integrity alongside - not despite - AI-assisted development\n\nSoft Skills (Core)\nStrong ownership: treats team goals as personal goals - proactive, accountable, clears obstacles without being asked\n\nSound judgment: makes high-quality decisions under incomplete information - decisive and accountable\n\nExecution muscle: makes things actually land, not just live in decks and proposals\n\nFast learner: thrives in a fast-moving industry; rapidly absorbs new technologies, business dynamics, and regulatory shifts and converts them into team action\n\nBilingual: fluent English for technical discussions, documentation, and international collaboration (written and verbal at working proficiency)\n\nDisclaimer: Please note that Hong Kong is a group-level service hub, and OKX does not carry on a business of operating a virtual asset trading platform in Hong Kong.\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.
