OKX is part of OKG, a group that brings the value of Blockchain to users around the world, through our leading products OKX, OKX Wallet, OKLink and more.

About the Opportunity

As a Senior Engineer on the Anti-Fraud AI Service Platform, you will build the foundational infrastructure that powers OKX’s security intelligence. This platform isn't just a single tool; it is a comprehensive ecosystem that provides real-time fraud detection services, machine learning model deployment, and autonomous AI agents to our global risk engines.
You will focus on building high-performance Java services that can orchestrate complex workflows—integrating traditional rule engines with modern AI capabilities to protect millions of users and billions in assets.

What You’ll Be Doing

Platform Engineering: Design and scale a high-concurrency AI Service Platform using Java, capable of handling sub-millisecond risk assessments.

Service Orchestration: Build the middleware that integrates various AI services, including real-time feature extraction, model inference, and Agentic workflows for automated investigation.

AI Agent Integration: Develop the "Agent-as-a-Service" module, enabling autonomous agents to perform complex tasks like automated link analysis, entity resolution, and fraud report generation.

System Reliability: Ensure the platform remains resilient under extreme market volatility, managing distributed locking, caching strategies, and failover mechanisms.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Data Scientists to productize ML models and with Risk Ops to translate emerging fraud trends into automated platform capabilities.

What We Look For In You

Java Mastery: Extensive experience with Java 17/21 and the Spring Boot ecosystem. Deep knowledge of asynchronous programming and reactive frameworks (e.g., Project Reactor, Vert.x).

Scalable Architecture: Proven track record of building distributed systems with Microservices, gRPC, and Kafka for high-throughput event processing.

AI/ML Infrastructure: Familiarity with the lifecycle of AI services—including model serving (Triton/TFServing), vector databases (Milvus/Pinecone), and LLM integration.

Agentic Frameworks: Knowledge of how to wrap LLMs into functional services (e.g., Tool‑calling, memory management, and reasoning loops) within a production Java environment.

Data Proficiency: Experience with SQL and NoSQL environments (MySQL, MongoDB, Redis) and an understanding of Graph Databases (Neo4j) for fraud‑path analysis.

Nice to Haves

• Familiarity with blockchain ecosystems and smart contract mechanics.
• Experience with scalable data pipelines and cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, GCP).
• Strong problem‑solving abilities and critical thinking skills in fraud detection scenarios.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative, cross‑functional environment.

L&D programs and Education subsidy for employees' growth and development.

Various team building programs and company events.

Wellness and meal allowances.

Comprehensive healthcare schemes for employees and dependants.
