Jobbeschreibung

Tech Governance - Security Compliance & Governance Engineer

Who We Are

At OKX, we believe that the future will be reshaped by crypto, and ultimately contribute to every individual's freedom.

OKX is a leading crypto exchange, and the developer of OKX Wallet, giving millions access to crypto trading and decentralized crypto applications (dApps). 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.

Across 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.

About the Opportunity

This is not a traditional GRC hire. The Tech G overnance Office is looking for someone who combines the governance judgment of a seasoned compliance professional with the drive of a forward-deployed engineer - someone who closes gaps by shipping solutions, navigates ambiguity without hand-holding, and operates with the urgency of a startup and the rigour of a regulated financial institution.

You will own complex cross-functional workstreams independently - coordinating across Engineering, Legal, Product, and Finance - while managing external auditors and regulators. Strong written and verbal communication in both English and Mandarin is a meaningful advantage in this role. AI tooling is not optional; it is how you work.

Who You Are

Self-directed driver — You run cross-functional workstreams without being managed. Ambiguity is a starting point, not a blocker.

AI-native operator — You already use AI to do more, faster — and you raise the floor for the teams around you.

Clear communicator — You earn trust across regulators, auditors, and C-suite through precision and consistency — in any room.

Culture Fit

Pace

Standards

Startup velocity — Decisions move fast. Priorities shift. You ship, iterate, and adapt — without waiting for perfect conditions or top-down direction.

Financial institution rigour — Audit trails matter. Regulators scrutinise. The bar for accuracy, documentation, and accountability is institutional-grade — always.

The tension between these two is not a bug - it is the job. We are looking for someone who holds both without compromise.

What You'll Be Doing

Independently lead audit remediation programmes - assess gaps, develop structured plans, and drive verified closure across engineering, product, legal, and operations without escalation dependency.

Own cross-functional governance workstreams - set milestones, coordinate accountability, and remove blockers across departments with limited management oversight.

Conduct IT security and architecture governance reviews - assess whether systems and processes meet applicable standards, and issue findings with clear ownership and remediation timelines.
