Job Summary

We are seeking a Quality Assurance Engineer to take technical ownership of system-level quality, resilience, and reliability across OKX’s core platforms. This is a Staff-level role with responsibility beyond individual test execution.

• Build and maintain scalable automated testing frameworks (API, integration, end-to-end) and embed them into CI/CD pipelines.
• Set and enforce quality gates and reliability standards across teams.
• Act as a quality authority during incidents and postmortems, and mentor engineers to raise the overall quality bar.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and SRE teams to align quality practices with business risk and production realities.

• Experience in Quality Engineering, SDET, Reliability Engineering, or related roles.
• Strong experience with distributed systems, microservices, and cloud-native architectures.
• Hands-on experience with chaos engineering, resilience testing, or fault injection.
• Proficiency in Java or C++, with familiarity in common backend frameworks and middleware (e.g. Spring Boot, Kafka).
• Strong test automation expertise, including API, integration, and end-to-end testing, and experience building or extending testing frameworks.
• Experience operating in CI/CD and containerized environments (e.g. Jenkins, Docker).
• Solid system-level thinking and ability to influence engineering practices across teams.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively across functions.
• Proficiency in speaking, reading and writing in both English and Mandarin to collaborate effectively with global and cross-functional team members.

Nice to Have

• Experience with financial systems, trading platforms, or crypto exchanges.
• Background in SRE, platform engineering, or infrastructure reliability.
• Experience participating in or leading incident response and postmortems.

Perks & Benefits
