About the role
Day-to-day scope for the Senior Data Engineer, Compliance Data Platform as described in the posting:
The listing frames the Senior Data Engineer, Compliance Data Platform at OKX as a hands-on product role. This is a hands-on technical role with real domain ownership — you will own sub-domains end-to-end, not just execute tickets. Strong performance creates a direct route toward the Compliance domain's technical leadership layer as the team scales.
Responsibilities
Day-to-day scope for the Senior Data Engineer, Compliance Data Platform as described in the posting:
Pipeline Ownership: Own end-to-end pipelines from ODS ingestion through CDM to downstream marts serving TMS, KYC, CMS, and regulatory reporting. Design, build, and maintain production-grade pipelines with reliability, auditability, and regulatory correctness as first-class requirements.
Full-Stack Compliance Coverage:
- TMS: transaction monitoring feeds, rule feature engineering, Scila/TME platform data integration, TME/ARS features
- KYC/CRR/EDD: KYC refresh pipelines, remediation datasets, CRR scoring features, Worldcheck integration
- CMS: case management data, transaction analysis tooling, bulk search, KYB operation data
- Regulatory reporting: recurring compliance reports for global and jurisdiction-specific requirements
Data Quality: Design proactive DQC checks into pipelines. Own monitoring and reconciliation; build alerting that catches issues before downstream systems or regulators do.
AI-Accelerated Domain Building: Use AI tooling actively to ramp on compliance domain knowledge. Apply LLM-assisted development to accelerate pipeline development, DQC design, and documentation.
Collaboration: Work closely with the Compliance Project Lead as a trusted technical partner — take sub-domain ownership to expand his effective bandwidth. Mentor junior engineers as your domain confidence grows.
