About The Team

The CEX Trading Mobile Team sits at the heart of OKX's flagship exchange product, owning the trading experience for millions of users worldwide. We build and scale the real‑time market data infrastructure that powers the OKX App — from live quotes and K‑line charting to the full suite of trading scenarios that traders rely on every day. As a team, we care deeply about engineering quality: we hold high standards for technical architecture, move fast without cutting corners on stability or performance, and invest consistently in growing our craft through knowledge‑sharing and technical training. We are at an exciting inflection point, actively integrating AI into our product and engineering workflows — exploring how large language models, on‑device inference, and intelligent agents can reshape the trading experience. If you're energized by solving hard technical problems at scale, working in a fast‑moving market that never sleeps, and driving real innovation in one of the world's leading crypto platforms, this is the team to be on.

• Continuously improve the user experience, performance, and architecture of the modules under your ownership.
• Lead the team in exploring the integration of AI into business scenarios, driving product and technology innovation.

• Track record of leading mid‑to‑large‑scale projects end‑to‑end — high standards for technical architecture and engineering quality.
• Trading business background — client‑side development experience at a crypto exchange, brokerage, or fintech app; familiarity with core domains such as order matching, market data display, and asset management.
