About the role (from employer)

Staff/Senior Java Engineer, OKX Wallet (Web3)

Who We Are

OKX Wallet is OKX's self-custody wallet, built for users worldwide to securely and conveniently store, manage, and use their on-chain assets. The wallet backend operates in a multi-chain, multi-asset, high-concurrency environment shaped by on-chain state uncertainty and strict fund-security requirements — combining the complex-systems challenges of traditional internet backends with the transaction, signing, and on-chain interaction problems unique to blockchain.

We're looking for a Senior Java Engineer with roughly 5–10 years of backend experience: someone with strong engineering fundamentals who can independently own core modules, exercise sound judgment on complex problems, and proactively coordinate across upstream and downstream teams to drive work to completion.

What You'll Do

  • Own core wallet backend modules. Build and continuously improve address management, asset synchronization, transaction construction, broadcasting, on-chain confirmation, gas estimation, nonce management, and transaction-state tracking. Understand each module's role in the full wallet flow, and keep stability, performance, and maintainability front of mind. For complex requirements, break the problem down before choosing an implementation rather than stacking code or reusing old designs.
  • Build transaction and on-chain interaction scenarios. Work on transfers, token approvals, contract interactions, cross-chain, swaps, DApp connections, and signature-request handling. Understand a transaction's full lifecycle — from initiation through construction, signing, broadcasting, on-chain confirmation, and final state update — and diagnose issues like stuck transactions, duplicate submissions, state inconsistencies, and on-chain success that isn't reflected in the business system, using logs, on-chain data, and call traces.
  • Support multi-chain and new-chain integration. We already support EVM, Tron, and Solana, and continuously onboard new public chains, Layer 2 networks, and asset standards. Contribute to technical research, integration design, and feature development, accounting for differences in address models, account systems, transaction structures, signing methods, fees, and confirmation mechanisms — as well as node stability, asset sync, exception compensation, monitoring, and security boundaries.
  • Ensure stable operation. Contribute to day-to-day stability work — monitoring, alerting, rate limiting, graceful degradation, retries, compensation, data reconciliation, and troubleshooting. When incidents occur, help investigate, narrow scope, and fix root causes; for recurring issues, drive systemic fixes such as added monitoring, stronger fallbacks, or design improvements.
  • Drive your projects to delivery. Take ownership of the modules and projects you're responsible for. On work spanning product, QA, frontend, infrastructure, or other backend teams, proactively sync information, surface dependencies and risks, and drive issues to resolution. When requirements are unclear or opinions diverge, lay out the context, offer your own judgment, and help build consensus.
  • Continuously raise engineering quality. Participate in design discussions, code reviews, and system optimization. Spot unreasonable designs, duplicated logic, and latent risks, and propose actionable improvements. Document technical decisions, post-incident learnings, and best practices, and help less-experienced teammates.
  • Apply AI in daily development. Use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) to assist with code comprehension, scaffolding, unit tests, code review, troubleshooting, refactoring, and documentation — validating AI output for correctness, project conventions, performance, and security rather than using it unchecked.

What We're Looking For

  • Solid Java backend fundamentals. ~5–10 years of Java backend experience with a strong grasp of collections, concurrency, thread pools, the JVM, network communication, and common performance issues. Proficient with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, MyBatis, or comparable stacks, able to independently design and build medium-to-large backend modules and reason about the mechanics behind the frameworks you use.
  • Strong system design ability. Experience with complex or high-concurrency systems; comfortable with idempotency, retries, compensation, caching, message queues, distributed locks, data consistency, rate limiting, and service degradation. Able to own module- or service-level design and clearly explain the core flow, failure scenarios, and key trade-offs.
  • Cognitive ability and judgment. Able to understand context and goals on ambiguous problems, separate symptom from root cause, and choose a fitting solution based on business value, user experience, stability, cost, and security — rather than reflexively adding complexity.
  • Drive and ownership. Able to independently own a module or project end to end, from design through development, testing, and launch. Proactively communicates and resolves dependencies, risks, and blockers, and follows through on launch outcomes rather than stopping at code merge.
  • Blockchain or wallet experience. Experience with wallets, blockchain, trading platforms, on-chain data services, or related systems. Understands addresses, public/private keys, mnemonics, transaction signing, broadcasting, on-chain confirmation, gas, and nonce; familiar with the transaction mechanics of at least one of EVM, Tron, or Solana, and with token standards such as ERC-20 and TRC-20. (Strong backend fundamentals and fast learning can offset gaps in blockchain coverage.)
  • High security awareness. Sensitive to private-key, signing, permission, and user-asset security; familiar with replay protection, API authentication, tamper resistance, sensitive-data protection, and least-privilege principles. Actively considers malformed input, duplicate requests, privilege bypass, and data-leak risks when building transaction features.
  • Independent production troubleshooting. Able to diagnose live issues via log analysis, metrics monitoring, distributed tracing, and thread/memory analysis; can form hypotheses and narrow scope even with incomplete information. Hands-on experience with performance degradation, timeouts, message backlogs, data inconsistencies, memory issues, or unstable third-party services.
  • Engineering in the AI era. Willing to use AI coding tools to improve daily efficiency and able to judge whether AI output meets real business requirements before shipping it. Has a basic understanding of prompts, context management, RAG, AI agents, and MCP, or a genuine willingness to keep learning — treating AI as an engineering tool, not requiring an algorithm/model-training background.

Nice to Have

  • Integration work on new public chains, new asset standards, or cross-chain protocols
  • Familiarity with WalletConnect, DApp Browser, or signature-request handling
  • Knowledge of MPC, multisig, hardware wallets, or TEE-based key-security schemes
  • Experience with Swap, staking, cross-chain bridges, or DeFi aggregation
  • Address risk detection, allow/deny lists, anti-fraud, or wallet risk-control experience
  • High-concurrency transaction systems, blockchain node services, on-chain data indexing, or transaction-state-tracking systems
  • Familiarity with RPC calls, block scanning, chain reorgs, transaction compensation, and reconciliation mechanisms
  • JVM performance tuning, stability governance, or complex production-incident experience
  • Cross-team collaboration with a track record of driving projects to delivery
  • Real projects built with AI — e.g. AI code review, development agents, MCP servers, intelligent troubleshooting, or knowledge bases
  • Follows developments in AI coding assistants and LLM applications and shares practical takeaways with the team

Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive total compensation
  • Comprehensive insurance coverage for you and your dependents
  • More benefits to be discussed after you join

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.
