About this Sr Software Engineer, Front End role at OKX
OKX · Onsite · San Jose, California, United States
Who We Are
About the Opportunity
The Fiat team builds the money experiences of OKX. Beyond the payment rails — fiat deposits, withdrawals, and payment methods across 100+ markets — we own Simple Buy/Sell, the front door to crypto for both onshore and offshore markets, and Cards & Pay, the products taking OKX into the money app category and giving customers a whole new reason to connect with us. We sit inside the Bay Area AI-Native Product & Engineering Center: we don't just use AI tools, we build agent harnesses, evaluation pipelines, and automation that lets a small team ship like a large one. We're looking for a front-end engineer who is sharp, curious, data-driven, and believes most "impossible" things simply haven't been automated yet.
What You’ll Be Doing
-
Own and ship the money experiences of OKX — fiat deposit/withdraw, Simple Buy/Sell for onshore and offshore markets, and Cards & Pay —the surfaces used by millions of users.
-
Build AI-native engineering infrastructure: agent harnesses, reusable skills, E2E automation, and evaluation pipelines that multiply the whole team's output.
-
Make the product data-driven: instrument what you ship, build the tracking and experimentation foundations yourself when they don't exist, and let the numbers decide.
-
Drive frontend quality end-to-end — architecture, performance, testing, and server-driven UI systems that stay backward-compatible in production.
-
Work directly with product, design, and backend teams across the US and APAC to turn ambiguous requirements into shipped features.
-
Contribute tooling, patterns, and practices beyond your own team — what you build should raise the bar for the wider engineering group.
What We Look For In You
-
Strong computer science fundamentals and frontend essentials — TypeScript, React, modern toolchains (Vite), browser internals, and state management. Depth beyond framework APIs.
-
A good sense of web performance, responsive design, and web security — you build experiences that are fast, adaptive across devices, and safe by default.
-
Hands-on creativity with AI-assisted development: you've built things around models — agents, harnesses, MCP tools, eval loops, CI gates — not just used autocomplete.
-
Sharp problem-solving: you root-cause ambiguous problems quickly and make sound calls with incomplete information.
-
Self-driven and resilient: you learn faster than expected, push hard deliveries through to completion, and contribute beyond your own scope.
-
A conviction that decisions should be data-driven — and the willingness to get your hands dirty building the instrumentation and infrastructure when it doesn't exist yet.
-
BS/MS in Computer Science or a related field from a strong program, or equivalent evidence of exceptional ability.
-
Proficiency in Mandarin Chinese is required to communicate effectively with our engineering and product teams across APAC.
Nice to Haves
-
You've shipped developer tooling, design systems, or open-source work that other engineers adopted.
-
Familiarity with server-driven UI, module federation, or large-scale frontend library architecture.
-
E2E automation experience with Playwright — bonus points if you've taught an AI agent to write and maintain the tests for you.
-
Experience in payments, fintech, or trading products.
Perks & Benefits
-
Competitive total compensation package
-
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
-
