Join OKX as a Senior/Staff Engineer to own and operate the end-to-end liquidity trade and position platform, build connectors to centralized exchanges, counterparties, and on-chain sources, and develop a Python + SQL data model to normalize trade and account flows. You will deliver trusted data outputs for finance, operations, and the trading desk, improve reconciliation workflows, and build data quality controls, while partnering with Finance and Ops to onboard new venues and products. The role contributes to the broader data platform using Spark/Iceberg/ClickHouse and ML tooling, shaping a scalable data architecture for crypto trading data.
Who We Are
Key Responsibilities
- Own and operate the trade and position platform end-to-end — roadmap, delivery, reliability, incidents, and continuous improvement.

- Develop and extend the Python + SQL data model that normalizes trade and account flows across venues.
- Deliver trusted data outputs for Finance, Operations, and the trading desk — used for verification, reporting, and analytics.
- Improve reconciliation workflows to catch and resolve discrepancies between venue statements and internal records.
- Build robust data quality controls with clear lineage, reproducibility, and documentation.
- Partner with Finance and Ops to translate business rules into testable logic and onboard new venues/products efficiently.
- Contribute to the broader data platform (Spark/Iceberg/ClickHouse/ML tooling).

- 4-7 years in software or data engineering, ideally with exposure to trading, middle-office, or post-trade systems.
- Strong production Python skills, ideally with Spark/PySpark experience, with a focus on code quality and operational reliability.
- Strong SQL skills; hands-on MySQL and PostgreSQL experience (schema design, performance tuning).
- Experience integrating with external APIs (REST/WebSocket) and navigating real-world constraints.
- Familiarity with trade lifecycle concepts — positions, fees, funding, and reconciliation.

- Proven ability to own production systems end-to-end — from incident response to stakeholder communication.
- Strong communication skills; comfortable working across business and technical teams, aligning on requirements and data delivery.
