Responsibilities

  • Payment System Development: Design, develop, and optimize OKX Pay's payment backend systems; build highly available, high-concurrency, scalable payment infrastructure.
  • Scan-to-Pay Capabilities: Contribute to core QR/scan-to-pay functionality across the critical path — payment code generation, scan recognition, order creation, payment confirmation, state transitions, timeout handling, risk-control validation, and exception compensation.
  • Transaction Processing & Fund Flows: Design and implement secure, stable transaction processing systems covering orders, payments, clearing and settlement, reconciliation, refunds, and callback notifications.
  • Crypto & Stablecoin Payments: Build crypto and stablecoin payment capabilities — on-chain transfers, transaction confirmation, address management, asset crediting, and payment-status synchronization — and integrate them with traditional payment experiences.
  • System Stability & Problem Solving: Safeguard the stability of core payment flows; diagnose and resolve complex production issues including performance bottlenecks, data-consistency problems, fund-security risks, and abnormal transaction scenarios.
  • Technical Optimization & Engineering Quality: Continuously improve system architecture, code quality, monitoring and alerting, exception compensation, and observability to raise the security, reliability, and maintainability of the payment system.

Requirements

  • Java Backend Experience: Solid Java development skills, fluent in Spring Boot and mainstream Java backend frameworks, with experience building high-concurrency, high-availability systems.
  • Payments Domain Experience: Hands-on experience with payment systems and their core flows — payment orders, payment state machines, callback notifications, reconciliation, refunds, clearing/settlement, and exception compensation.
  • Scan-to-Pay Experience: Background in scan-to-pay, acquiring, aggregated payments, merchant payments, wallet payments, or similar products, with familiarity across the full business and technical chain.
  • System Design: Strong architecture design ability, capable of designing reliable transaction paths, state-transition mechanisms, and idempotency, retry, and compensation mechanisms.
  • Data Consistency & Fund-Security Awareness: Understanding of the importance of data consistency, transaction handling, idempotency, deduplication, concurrency protection, risk-control validation, and fund security in payment systems.
  • Crypto / Stablecoin Payment Understanding: Familiarity with the fundamentals of crypto and stablecoin payments and on-chain asset movement, including on-chain transfers, transaction confirmation, address systems, Gas, and crediting confirmation.
  • Problem-Solving: Able to independently troubleshoot complex production issues, with strong log analysis, tracing, performance-optimization, and recovery skills.
  • Ownership & Execution: Strong ownership; able to drive problems to resolution and ship projects in a fast-changing environment.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Stablecoin Payment Experience: Project experience with USDT, USDC, or other stablecoin payments, collection, settlement, crediting, or on-chain confirmation.
  • Scan-to-Pay / Acquiring Experience: QR payments, merchant acquiring, aggregated payments, payment gateways, cross-border payments, or offline payment scenarios.
  • Account & Ledger Systems: Experience with payment accounts, fund accounts, merchant accounts, ledger systems, clearing/settlement systems, or reconciliation systems.
  • Blockchain Fundamentals: Familiarity with the transaction mechanisms, address models, and asset-transfer flows of EVM, Tron, Solana, or other mainstream chains.
  • Risk & Compliance Awareness: Understanding of payment risk control, anti-fraud, limits, allow/deny lists, KYC/KYT, and AML mechanisms.
  • High-Concurrency Transaction Systems: Experience building high-concurrency order systems, trading systems, payment gateways, acquiring systems, or finance-grade core systems.

Who You Are

  • A solid Java backend engineer with deep understanding of payment systems, especially scan-to-pay, acquiring, merchant payments, or wallet payments.
  • You care not only about shipping features but also about fund security, system stability, exception compensation, reconciliation consistency, and the user's payment experience.
  • You don't need to be a senior blockchain expert, but you have a basic grasp of crypto and stablecoin payments and are eager to explore new payment models that combine traditional payment experiences with on-chain assets.

Perks & Benefits 

  • Competitive total compensation
  • Comprehensive insurance coverage for employees and their dependants
  • More that we love to tell you along the process!

Caterpillar (CAT) Formally Objects To Tokenized Trading Of Its Shares

Caterpillar (CAT) Formally Objects To Tokenized Trading Of Its Shares

Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) has formally issued an objection to the listing of its equity on the OKX-ICE tokenized stock venue, citing a lack of authorization for the digital representation of its shares. The company expressed significant concerns regarding regulatory compliance and reputational risks associated with how its stock is accessed and marketed on the unregistered platform. This move highlights the friction between traditional corporate issuers and decentralized finance platforms that utilize SEC exemptions to offer tokenized versions of real-world assets. Because the OKX-ICE venue relies on a specific regulatory exemption that mandates the cessation of trading upon a written objection from the issuer, Caterpillar's action forces a direct test of these tokenization protocols. The company is prioritizing strict control over its brand and equity narrative, particularly as it manages a $72 billion backlog and complex global infrastructure operations. This development serves as a critical case study for the RWA market, illustrating how major industrial firms may push back against unauthorized digital asset representations. The outcome of this 30-day objection window will likely influence how other platforms approach the listing of tokenized equities without explicit issuer consent.

OKX to list Unified Tokenized Stocks xSHLD, xSQQQ and more for spot trading

OKX has launched Unified Tokenized Stocks, a new product line allowing users to trade price exposure to major stocks and ETFs on its spot market. These assets, identified by an 'X' prefix such as XAAPL or XTSLA, are powered by the xStocks framework developed by Payward. The platform supports 24/7 trading, enabling users to react to market news outside of traditional exchange hours by utilizing last-close pricing combined with market estimates. These tokens are compatible with the Solana and X Layer blockchains, allowing for deposits and withdrawals directly from the OKX ecosystem. By integrating these assets into existing crypto spot accounts, OKX eliminates the need for separate brokerage accounts or fiat currency conversions. Dividends are handled automatically through issuer-level reinvestment, which is then reflected as an increase in the user's share balance. This development marks a significant expansion in the accessibility of traditional equity exposure within the digital asset space, though the tokens do not confer actual shareholder rights or ownership of the underlying companies.

OKX Adds ETFs, Tokenized Stocks, And Stablecoins To Automated Portfolio Bot

OKX has announced an expansion of its Smart Portfolio Bot to include ETFs, tokenized stocks, and stablecoins, marking a shift from its previous cryptocurrency-only automated allocation model. This upgrade aims to provide users with diversified, lower-volatility investment options by blending traditional financial instruments with digital assets within a single interface. Despite the announcement, OKX has not disclosed a specific release date, the list of supported assets, or the fee structure for these new categories. The move represents a strategic attempt to differentiate the exchange from competitors like Binance and Bybit, which primarily focus on crypto-native automated strategies. Because tokenized stocks and ETFs often face strict regional regulatory constraints, the practical availability of these features remains unclear for many global users. The lack of technical specifications regarding custody, settlement, and rebalancing logic for non-crypto assets leaves significant operational questions unanswered. Ultimately, this development signals a broader industry trend toward integrating real-world assets into retail-facing automated trading tools, though the immediate impact is limited by the current lack of transparency.
