Frontend Business Lead About the Role We're looking for a technical lead who can own the frontend across OKX's core crypto business verticals. You'll be deeply involved in the full frontend delivery lifecycle across Trading, Web3, Payment, and beyond — not just writing code, but helping teams and products find the right direction, make the right calls, and execute with speed and precision. This role demands the rigor of an engineer, the strategic thinking of a product manager, and the market instincts of a crypto practitioner.

Communicate technical value and business judgment clearly to engineers, product managers, and senior leadership alike. Participate in industry engagements to attract high-potential talent who are genuinely passionate about crypto. Requirements: Baseline Bachelor's degree or above in CS or related field; 10+ years of engineering experience, including 5+ years managing technical teams; solid full-stack capabilities with frontend depth Deep command of core frontend technologies (React/Vue internals, engineering toolchains, performance optimization, cross-platform solutions), with enough backend and API fluency to drive substantive technical discussions Proven track record leading frontend for products with DAU 1M+ in high-concurrency, high-availability environments Demonstrated experience driving cross-team collaboration and standard adoption through technical influence rather than organizational authority Industry Background (Partial Core) (Core) Genuine understanding of ...
