About the Opportunity
We are looking for a seasoned backend engineer to design, build, and scale the backend systems powering OKX’s DEX trading products. You will own critical parts of the trading lifecycle—from quote discovery and order management to transaction submission, execution tracking, and reconciliation. Working closely with product, frontend, smart contract, and infrastructure teams, you will deliver secure, reliable trading experiences across multiple blockchain ecosystems. This is a hands-on engineering role with meaningful architectural ownership and opportunities to grow into technical leadership.
What You’ll Be Doing
-
Design and develop backend services for quote aggregation, order management, transaction orchestration, and execution tracking.
-
Build reliable integrations with DEX protocols, liquidity sources, blockchain RPC providers, and indexing services. Define clear order and transaction state models, with robust handling of retries, duplicate requests, partial failures, and recovery.
-
Ensure trading services remain reliable under high concurrency, traffic spikes, and degraded external dependencies.
-
Implement appropriate rate limiting, concurrency controls, resource isolation, and graceful degradation.
-
Optimize database access, transaction boundaries, caching, and asynchronous processing. Establish monitoring, alerting, load testing, and incident-response practices for critical trading flows.
-
Support trading workflows across multiple blockchain ecosystems. Handle transaction submission, confirmation tracking, failed or dropped transactions, and chain reorganizations.
-
Build data synchronization and reconciliation mechanisms to maintain consistency between backend records and on-chain execution.
-
Translate product requirements into practical technical designs and production-ready services.
-
Own features through implementation, testing, rollout, and post-launch operation.
What We Look For In You
-
5+ years of professional backend engineering experience, including ownership of production systems.
-
Strong proficiency in Java and its backend ecosystem. Solid understanding of concurrency, distributed systems, relational databases, caching, and messaging systems.
-
Experience building high-availability services and diagnosing performance or reliability issues in production.
-
Understanding of blockchain transactions, smart contract interactions, and common DeFi trading mechanisms.
-
Ability to independently drive a feature from technical design through production deployment. Strong ownership, sound engineering judgment, and effective cross-functional communication.
