  • Create behavioral clustering models to identify user personas and refine targeting strategies
LTV Prediction & Retention
  • Build LTV prediction models incorporating user behavior, market conditions, and engagement patterns
  • Develop early signals detection to identify high-LTV users within 24-72 hours
  • Design churn prediction and reactivation models to optimize retention campaigns
  • Implement cohort analysis to track performance across channels and time periods

Requirements
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in growth algorithms, performance marketing, or user acquisition optimization
  • Strong expertise in ML frameworks: PyTorch, TensorFlow, XGBoost, LightGBM
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL; experience with big data processing (Spark, Flink, or similar)

  • Strong communication skills in English; Chinese proficiency is a plus
Preferred
  • Background in fintech, cryptocurrency, or high-growth tech companies
  • Knowledge of blockchain technology and crypto user behavior
  • Experience with deep learning for sequence modeling and user behavior prediction

What We Offer
Impact & Growth
  • High ownership role with autonomy to build and define technical direction
  • Direct impact on OKX's global growth (millions in marketing spend optimization)
  • Opportunity to scale the team and hire as the platform grows
  • Work on cutting-edge ML problems at massive scale

Location Details
  • China (Remote): Work remotely from major cities with occasional travel to HK/SG for collaboration
  • Hong Kong: Office-based
