Our team has built and operates the infrastructure connecting OKX to dozens of payment channels across global markets, giving users deposit and withdrawal options that are fast, convenient, and — most importantly — trustworthy. That platform moves and safeguards user assets at institutional scale, continuously, across time zones and regulatory environments.</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-EygGdnKpfoVfANxOueslvEINgLg">&nbsp;</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-QkjhdUidkogyfNxr8SxlfsmfgKd">This is not a greenfield team looking for its footing. The team is established, the platform is in production at scale, and we are actively expanding — both in scope and in headcount.

Payments is a domain that's hard to pick up from the outside — every market has its own rails, its own settlement behavior, its own failure modes, its own compliance expectations. Here you'll work across a wide range of payment methods and channels, and you'll build the judgment that comes from operating financial systems where the stakes are real: how to design for correctness when money is on the line, how to reconcile, how to recover, how to keep a platform observable enough that you find problems before your users do.</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-RDEFdzI6AoFDCCxCM0OlHzuCgzg">&nbsp;</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-WSgidYN3UojGLAxmVAwlojikghh">You'll work closely with product managers, designers, and partner-facing teams, and you'll set the technical bar for the engineers around you — through design docs, code reviews, and the everyday habit of doing things properly when nobody's watching.</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-A54hdRuH8oeHcXxyANClHjI7gkf">&nbsp;</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-PToVdsEjwohuJjx1hn8l8uIogLh">If you like the sound of a team where the problems are genuinely hard, the standard is high, and your opinion changes the outcome, we'd like to talk.</div> </div> </div> <h3 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-HytwdMMd1o5PQtxqi9QudDSMsWV"><strong>What You’ll Be Doing</strong></h3> <div data-page-id="Rii1dTIlEoczkLxtDQXlUnUfgKf" data-lark-html-role="root" data-docx-has-block-data="false"> <ul class="list-bullet1"> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Pcl6dGcLaoMdqpxBKF3lLv2Qgce" data-list="bullet"> <div>Design and build the core.
