About the Role
~1 min readWe 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.

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.

Build data synchronization and reconciliation mechanisms to maintain consistency between backend records and on-chain execution.
