Your job is not to rebuild it at today’s maturity. Your job is to take it to a <strong>regulator-grade production standard and well beyond</strong>, and to drive AI Enablement across the department. You own the foundation, the agent runtime, and the harness: a resilient cloud platform, the agentic runtime and evaluation harnesses that make agents trustworthy in a regulated setting, and the governed data and AI infrastructure everything else depends on. We hire on <strong>demonstrated building</strong>, not on claims or credentials. We expect you to be more capable than the hiring manager in your domain: you will co-own and challenge the tooling strategy, not just implement it. This is a two-person engineering team: you deploy, debug, and hotfix your counterpart’s stack when needed. </p> <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Environment</strong></span></h3> <p>Cloud on <strong>AWS or GCP</strong>. <strong>Claude</strong> as the starting point in a deliberately multi-model architecture (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google), using the right model for each job, including the plugins and integrations you build. <strong>Google Workspace</strong> for reporting and evidence. <strong>JIRA</strong> for the audit team’s workflow. Lark for team communications, alert bots, and the corporate wiki. You inherit a working Google-native prototype estate (Apps Script web apps, Drive-synced automation, locally scheduled jobs, Claude Code agent tooling) and evolve it without breaking daily use. Infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and observability throughout. Treat this stack as the starting point, not a constraint: you build production-grade systems end to end on what exists today, and you are expected to propose, prove, and adopt better components as demand and capabilities evolve. Production-grade here means service levels sized for an internal assurance platform: board-cycle windows are sacred, recovery is measured in hours, and this is not a 24/7 pager culture.</p> </div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-GEUbd7sWzobkyGxnNNAufQyQsXe"> <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>In your first year</strong></span></h3> <ul> <li>Hive Mind runs in the cloud with HA, DR, SLOs, and audit logging that passes an internal controls review.</li> <li>A governed data foundation with provenance and lineage is live across multiple audit domains, integrated with OKX's group data infrastructure where it exists.</li> <li>An agentic runtime and harness with evaluation and red-teaming gates what reaches production.</li> <li>The hiring manager is out of the operational loop: no scheduled job runs on a personal machine, every system has a runbook and a non-founder owner. Decommissioning the founder’s laptop as infrastructure is a literal milestone. When these goals compete, the priority order is: keep the estate alive, then the cloud migration with observability, then the harness gating production, then the data foundation.</li> </ul> <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>How we assess demonstrated building</strong></span></h3> <p>We assess demonstrated building in ways that respect your time and your confidentiality obligations to current and former employers: a portfolio deep-dive (walk us through systems you built and kept running, at the level of detail your obligations allow; we want architecture, decisions, and trade-offs, never proprietary code, data, or documents), a short, time-capped build exercise on a synthetic problem unrelated to OKX's business (a small agentic workflow with an evaluation harness, used for assessment only and never put to use by OKX; the work remains yours) that you defend live, walking us through your design decisions and extending it on the spot, a systems-design session on taking a prototype estate to production, and references focused on whether you built and operated systems in production.</p> <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Trust and compliance</strong></span></h3> <p>This role handles highly sensitive audit data at a global crypto exchange. Expect background checks, confidentiality obligations, and personal-trading and material-non-public-information</p> </div> <h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-HytwdMMd1o5PQtxqi9QudDSMsWV"> </h2> <h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-HytwdMMd1o5PQtxqi9QudDSMsWV"><strong>What You’ll Be Doing</strong><strong> </strong></h2> <ul> <li>Inherit, operate, and progressively migrate the working prototype estate (Google Workspace–native automation across Apps Script, Drive, and the Docs/Sheets/Slides APIs; locally scheduled jobs; and Claude Code agent tooling) to the target platform without interrupting daily and board-cycle workflows. Working software wins arguments; migrate by strangling, not rewriting. Reuse and integrate with OKX's prevailing and evolving AI capabilities and data infrastructure, including enterprise-approved models and gateways, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and connectors, security tooling, and group data platforms, before building parallel capability.</li> <li>Re-architect <strong>Hive Mind</strong> into a resilient AWS or GCP platform with high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), defined service-level objectives (SLOs), and full observability, and own it in production.</li> <li>Build the <strong>agentic runtime and harness</strong>: orchestration, multi-model routing that sends each task to the right model, tool, MCP, and plugin integration across model providers, and the evaluation, red-team, and regression harnesses that grade agents before and after production, with evaluation gates, judge calibration, and cost controls that hold for each model, including prompt-injection and data-exfiltration threat modeling for agents that read untrusted content.</li> <li>Build the <strong>Responsible-AI and model-governance layer</strong>: hallucination, bias, and drift controls, output validation, guardrails, and complete logging. Extend the existing governance design (human-calibrated judge gates, golden-set regression, provenance registry) rather than replacing it. New model providers enter through the same governance and approved-tooling review, not around it.</li> <li>Build <strong>data infrastructure with provenance and lineage</strong>: immutable audit trails, versioned evidence, reproducible pipelines, and traceability from source to report.</li> <li>Engineer <strong>data protection</strong>: encryption, key and secrets management, least-privilege access, sensitive-data handling, residency, and defensible retention.</li> <li>Stand up the <strong>computer-assisted audit technique (CAAT) and continuous-monitoring data foundation</strong>: analytics over full populations, with exceptions streamed in real time. Auditors and the hiring manager define the audit logic; you make it run at production grade.</li> <li>Own the <strong>cloud foundation</strong>: infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, identity, networking, observability, and cost controls, and make the platform <strong>examinable</strong>.</li> </ul> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Gy4ydICWpol34Hxzjdhu4zdVshg"> </div> <h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-ZvAmdvgIGoKyiHxjBTiu68Kcs9d"><strong>What We Look For In You </strong></h2> <ul> <li>7+ years building <strong>and operating</strong> resilient backend or platform systems in production, including on-call ownership over time.</li> <li>Proven brownfield migrations: you have taken a founder-built or prototype system to production grade while it stayed in daily use.</li> <li><strong>Strong engineering fundamentals</strong>: data structures and algorithms, fluent <strong>Python</strong>, strong <strong>SQL and data modeling</strong>, plus one additional systems language (<strong>TypeScript/Node or Go</strong>), with the full-stack range to connect the infrastructure yourself.</li> <li><strong>Agentic runtime and harness engineering, proven by building</strong>: the field is too young to demand years of it, so we weigh real systems shipped over tenure. You have genuinely built model-agnostic agent orchestration, model routing and evaluation across providers, agent SDKs (Claude Agent SDK or equivalent), MCP servers, skill- and hook-based agent tooling, and the evaluation and red-team harnesses that grade agent behavior, with responsible-AI controls (hallucination, bias, drift).</li> <li><strong>Data engineering with provenance and lineage</strong>, and <strong>security and data-protection engineering</strong> by default (encryption, identity and access management, secrets, retention). You build systems that could withstand external audit, by design.</li> <li><strong>Cloud (AWS or GCP) plus resilience engineering</strong>: infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), CI/CD, HA, DR, SLOs, and observability, backed by automated testing and documentation.</li> <li>You ship inside locked-down enterprise environments (TLS-intercepting proxies, endpoint detection and response tooling, restricted installs, security guardrails, OAuth admin consent) without treating security as someone else’s problem.</li> <li><strong>Partnership</strong>: you translate audit needs into systems, explain technical risk to non-engineers, and drive adoption.</li> </ul> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-UhJ9dmqAXoYf0Rxmj2MuiHGesRc"> </div> <h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-DiLSdqfwUoKOraxakB6uGEomsXl"><strong>Nice to Haves</strong></h2> <ul> <li>Multi-agent orchestration frameworks, MCP servers, and tooling and plugin development across the Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google model ecosystems.</li> <li>Model-risk or AI-governance program experience; frameworks such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.</li> <li>Continuous-auditing or continuous-controls-monitoring platforms; streaming and real-time data at scale; statistical anomaly detection and applied machine learning beyond LLMs; vector stores and retrieval; LLM cost engineering.</li> <li>Experience passing external audit, SOC 2, or SOX (helpful, not required).</li> <li>Crypto and blockchain literacy; regulated financial-services, fintech, or crypto experience.</li> </ul> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Pyddd7YwWoyKAJxFqgSutn7YsFc"> </div> <h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-CmqsdZ2GTo6Z9VxuHx4ugzRRsm3"><strong>Perks &<span style="font-size: 18pt;"> Benefits </span></strong></h2> <ul class="list-bullet1"> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-XvQudJ7z0ouSnuxOibouMkKzsCc" data-list="bullet"> <div>Competitive total compensation package</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-GAzBdJXxLo291PxrthXurPeds4g" data-list="bullet"> <div>L&D programs and Education subsidy for employees' growth and development</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-CKPxdgHeoosenzxCpV2uV32ysz0" data-list="bullet"> <div>Various team building programs and company events</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-XjPSdIa92oGeLox9Qo9uejVEs4c" data-list="bullet"> <div>Wellness and meal allowances</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-CS34dAJCDoMDHxx95pZu43yjsxB" data-list="bullet"> <div>Comprehensive healthcare schemes for employees and dependants</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Uqtsd4bN8oaHt7xyPlYuxmfcsob" data-list="bullet"> <div>More that we love to tell you along the process!</div> </li> </ul> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-JGIsdeznCo2qpfxJAqkuViMfsHS"> </div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-JGIsdeznCo2qpfxJAqkuViMfsHS"> <div> <div class="job__description body"> <div data-page-id="AEW3d0Y2noLuIcxROuFubTLpsZd" data-docx-has-block-data="false"> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxuseysYUio6Qia64JLLAwE7dh"> <div data-page-id="doxusokjWsaOkSCIjzixAfRM3sd" data-docx-has-block-data="false"> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusaUYeCmu82WSkkm5KDd00db"> <div data-page-id="AEW3d0Y2noLuIcxROuFubTLpsZd" data-docx-has-block-data="false"> <div data-page-id="Zrp2dGhcIo3UFmxud3WuQirssDb" data-lark-html-role="root" data-docx-has-block-data="false"> <div data-page-id="I1Zud8CYtoGHccx0MImuyRU4s2c" data-lark-html-role="root" data-docx-has-block-data="false"> <div data-page-id="I1Zud8CYtoGHccx0MImuyRU4s2c" data-lark-html-role="root" data-docx-has-block-data="false"> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-ICVNdKGbzoyJvjx3MkouO6E4sSb"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>OKX Statement:</strong></span></div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-I3fmdZuJFoTBq5x36pAufcDSstf">OKX is committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, genetic information, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, lawful alien status, national origin, age, marital status, and non-job related physical or mental disability, or protected veteran status.
