Platform & Infrastructure Audit (AI Model & Platform SME), Senior Manager: OKX

This is a Technical Assurance role, not a traditional "clipboard audit" job. OKX is a massive crypto exchange handling billions in daily volume. They are building out a "Platform & Infrastructure Audit" team to ensure their underlying tech stack (Cloud, DevOps, AI) is robust.

You are being hired as a Subject Matter Expert (SME). This means you aren't just managing a team of juniors; you are the one digging into the Kubernetes configurations and Python code to find risks. You are the bridge between Deep Tech (SRE/DevOps) and Governance (Internal Audit).

Key Responsibilities
DevOps & Cloud Auditing: You will inspect the "Factory Floor" of the software. Are the CI/CD pipelines secure? Is the AWS/GCP configuration leak-proof? Are the Docker containers hardened?

AI Model Assurance: This is the unique "SME" component. You will audit AI systems. This likely includes:

Algorithmic Trading Models: Are they behaving as intended?

KYC/Compliance AI: Is the facial recognition software biased or hallucinating?

Generative AI: Are internal chatbots leaking company secrets?

ITGC on Steroids: You will perform technical validation of IT General Controls. In a bank, this is compliance. In a crypto exchange, this is survival (preventing hacks).

Data Analytics: You are expected to use SQL to query the database yourself to find anomalies, rather than asking IT to pull reports for you.

Strategic Analysis: Why this role exists
Regulatory Pressure: Singapore (MAS) has extremely strict regulations regarding technology risk management (TRM). OKX needs senior people who can prove to regulators that their AI and Cloud infrastructure are safe.

The "Black Box" Problem: As OKX integrates more AI (for trading, support, or compliance), the traditional audit team (accountants) has no idea how to assess the risk. They need a technical translator.

Individual Contributor (IC) + Strategy: The title says "Manager/Senior Manager," but the description emphasizes "hands-on." This is a high-level IC role. You are paid for your expertise, not necessarily for the number of people you manage.

Candidate Profile: The "Purple Squirrel"
They are looking for a very rare combination of skills:

The SRE/DevOps: You know what Terraform, Kubernetes, and Jenkins are.

The Auditor: You know what "Control Design Effectiveness" means.

The Data Analyst: You can write SQL queries from scratch.

The Crypto Native: You understand how a blockchain consensus mechanism works.

Critical "Knockout" Criteria
SQL Proficiency: The JD explicitly states: "Ability to achieve proficiency in performing data analytics with SQL within the first 90 days is required." If you cannot query a database, you will struggle here.

Singapore Right to Work: If you are based in London or NYC and need a visa, your chances are low unless your resume is spectacular.
