Product Manager / Director, AI Trading

Job description

*OKX will be prioritising applicants who have a current right to work in Singapore, and do not require OKX's sponsorship of a visa.* ## **Who We Are** At OKX, we believe that the future will be reshaped by crypto, and ultimately contribute to every individual's freedom. OKX is a leading crypto exchange, and the developer of OKX Wallet, giving millions access to crypto trading and decentralized crypto applications (dApps). OKX is also a trusted brand by hundreds of large institutions seeking access to crypto markets. We are safe and reliable, backed by our Proof of Reserves. Across our multiple offices globally, we are united by our core principles: *We Before Me*, *Do the Right Thing*, and *Get Things Done*. These shared values drive our culture, shape our processes, and foster a friendly, rewarding, and diverse environment for every OK-er. OKX is part of OKG, a group that brings the value of Blockchain to users around the world, through our leading products OKX, OKX Wallet, OKLink and more. ## **About The Opportunity** OKX's Trading Products team owns the core trading experience across Spot, Margin, and Perpetual/Futures — spanning the full user journey from pre-trade decision-making, through order execution, to post-trade settlement and risk management. As our trading volumes and product complexity continue to grow globally, we are looking for a **Trading Product Manager** who can own and evolve both the **user-facing trading experience** and the **underlying trading mechanics** that power it. This role sits at the intersection of product design and trading logic. You will work on how users discover, price, place, and manage trades (pre-trade / trade / post-trade), while also owning the correctness and soundness of the core mechanisms beneath the surface — margin models, funding rate formulas, liquidation logic, risk parameter design, and order/matching behavior. You will work closely with engineering, risk, quant, and design teams to ship trading features that are intuitive for users and rigorous under the hood. ## **What You’ll Be Doing** - **Start from users and the market to uncover real trading-experience needs** — Continuously surface user pain points through user research, behavioral data, community feedback, and conversations with active traders, ensuring product direction is grounded in real signal rather than internal assumptions. - **Benchmark against industry best practices to build best-in-class trading product competitiveness** — Continuously track developments in crypto and traditional finance markets and the latest moves from leading products, translating external insight into concrete product opportunities that keep our trading experience and competitiveness ahead of the industry. - **Build and continuously refine the end-to-end trading experience** — Own the full journey across pre-trade (market data presentation, decision-support tools, leverage/margin setup, risk disclosures), trade (order flow, execution feedback, order book/depth interaction), and post-trade (position management, PnL display, settlement statements) — from defining requirements through to shipping the solution. - **Drive efficient cross-team collaboration with mature program-management execution** — Bring a complete product methodology, independently write rigorous PRDs, and lead alignment and coordination across engineering, risk, quant, design, and compliance. Own the full project lifecycle — from requirements definition and solution design, through development scheduling, to launch validation and post-launch review — ensuring every stage closes the loop with a clear outcome, without relying on others to drive progress. - **Apply rigorous quantitative thinking to understand and reason about trading mechanics** — Bring strong logical reasoning and quantitative analysis skills, with the ability to learn fast and quickly master core trading mechanisms such as margin, leverage, funding rates, and liquidation. Candidates with a deep understanding of trading systems are preferred. ## **What We Look For In You** We are open to two types of candidates for this role: **(a) Experienced Trading Practitioners** - Prior hands-on experience in trading — either within crypto (exchange product, quant, trading desk) or in traditional finance (equities, futures, FX, derivatives) — with direct exposure to how trading products and mechanisms are designed and operated. - Solid understanding of core trading concepts: margin/leverage, order types, market microstructure, risk management, and P&L mechanics. - Comfortable reading and reasoning through trading formulas (e.g. mark price, funding rate, liquidation price) and translating them into clear product logic. **(b) High-Potential Talent** - Strong quantitative/analytical foundation — a background in mathematics, physics, statistics, engineering, or a related quantitative discipline, with strong academic performance. - High self-drive and fast learning ability — demonstrated track record of picking up complex, technical domains quickly and independently, even without prior trading experience. - Genuine intellectual curiosity about financial markets and trading mechanics, with the rigor to work through formulas and edge cases rather than relying on surface-level understanding. **Common requirements for both profiles:** - 3+ years of product management experience (or equivalent hands-on experience in quant/trading roles for candidates from profile (a)). - Strong technical intuition — comfortable discussing system architecture and data flows with engineers, and reasoning through quantitative models. You don't need to be a developer, but you think with the rigor of one. - Excellent communication skills — able to write a precise, technically sound PRD, and to explain complex trading mechanics clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. - High agency and execution velocity — comfortable operating in ambiguity, moving from open question to shipped solution, and making decisions with incomplete information. - Genuine passion for crypto and trading — actively uses trading products, understands order types and market microstructure, and can explain how margin, leverage, or liquidation mechanics work. Ideally, you have skin in the game. - **Proficiency in Mandarin is required** to communicate effectively with internal engineering and product stakeholders in the China-based R&D center. ## **Nice-To-Haves** - Experience with derivatives products (perpetual futures, options) either as a builder or an active trader. - Familiarity with risk parameter design (margin tiers, liquidation engines, insurance funds) at an exchange or financial institution. - Quantitative modeling experience (e.g. Python, SQL) sufficient to validate trading formulas or backtest mechanism changes. - Prior work in a high-growth crypto exchange, trading firm, or fintech company. - Fluency in English is preferred to better support communication with global product and business stakeholders. ## **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 - More that we love to tell you along the process!
