Lead and build a high-caliber AI team to design, evaluate, and deploy autonomous AI agent products. Own end-to-end delivery, create benchmark-driven evaluation frameworks, design agent harness infrastructure, orchestrate LLM reasoning with guardrails, integrate AI into engineering workflows, and align technical direction with product and business priorities.
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

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene
Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
