About the Role
OKX is looking for a Senior Director of AI to lead both people and product — building and managing a high-calibre AI team while staying deeply involved in the design, evaluation, and production deployment of autonomous agent systems. This role calls for a leader who leads by doing: technically grounded, sharp on product judgment, and able to translate both into tangible business outcomes.
What You'll Do
- Team Leadership
- — Build, manage, and develop a team of AI engineers and researchers; own hiring, growth, and performance across the function
- Agent Product Delivery
- — Lead end-to-end delivery of autonomous AI Agent products, covering the full lifecycle from requirements and architecture through to production operations
- Eval-Driven Development
- — Establish benchmark-driven evaluation frameworks that replace manual iteration with quantifiable quality signals across agent systems
- Agent Harness Design
- — Design and implement end-to-end Agent Harness infrastructure to ensure agent stability and reliability in complex, real-world scenarios
- LLM
- Orchestration
- — Orchestrate creative reasoning steps alongside deterministic guardrails, finding the right balance between flexibility and control
- Engineering Workflow Integration
- — Embed AI Agent capabilities deeply into core products and engineering pipelines, improving both developer productivity and business value
- Cross-functional Alignment
- — Collaborate with product, engineering, and business teams to ensure technical direction stays tightly aligned with strategic priorities
What We're Looking For
- Must-have
- Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field (PhD preferred)
- 10+ years of experience in AI/ML research, productization, or platform development, including core technical or leadership roles at globally recognized technology companies
- Deep expertise in LLMs and Generative AI, deep learning, reinforcement learning, recommendation systems, and related areas
- Proven track record of translating AI capabilities into measurable business outcomes
- End-to-end delivery experience with autonomous AI Agent products, from inception and architecture through to production operations
- Hands-on experience integrating AI deeply into engineering and development workflows — such as AI coding assistants, automated code review, or developer productivity tooling
- Proficiency in Mandarin and English is required to collaborate across our multilingual, cross-regional teams
- Nice to have
- Background at an AI-native startup or frontier AI lab, with familiarity with fast-cycle product iteration
- AI publications, patents, or industry-recognized technical contributions
- Familiarity with the unique technical challenges of applying AI in crypto, fintech, or high-frequency data environments
