At a global crypto exchange, the financial crime data landscape is more varied, more real-time, and more analytically rich than almost anywhere in traditional finance. The regulatory environment is evolving quickly, the typologies are new territory, and the analytical work has direct impact on how the organisation detects and responds to financial crime.

The role sits at the point where product engineering culture meets compliance depth, and you will have room to contribute across both. It is a role well suited to someone who enjoys varied, substantive work and values being part of a team that takes the quality of its output seriously. The team is actively building toward an AI-native way of working.

About AI governance roles

AI governance sits at the intersection of policy, risk, and engineering. Teams are standing up model inventories, use-case intake and review, risk classification, and control monitoring as regulation and board scrutiny of AI intensify. Roles like this one are typically evaluated against frameworks such as NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act, and internal model-risk and privacy practices.

How to position yourself for this AI governance role

Strong candidates emphasize experience translating policy into operational controls, working across legal, compliance, security, product, and data teams, documenting AI system risks, and supporting governance processes. In your resume and outreach, tie your experience to how OKX would apply NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act, and internal model-risk and privacy practices, and lead with concrete outcomes rather than duties.
