Responsibilities
- - Own the re-architecture of exposure systems to trace funds in real time, combating nation-state actors and darknet markets.
- - Champion a culture of quality, correctness, and continuous improvement across mission-critical data systems.
Requirements
- Our industry evolves rapidly, and our mission is to build a flexible, AI-driven platform that automates entity resolution, optimizes data labeling pipelines, and creates predictive models that identify illicit patterns before they escalate.
- Now, by pairing the industry's most trusted blockchain data with agents that reason, investigate, and act, we help our customers scale their workflows as the cryptocurrency economy becomes increasingly mainstream.
- The Clustering team builds the systems that link blockchain addresses to real-world entities at scale.
- The Exposure team traces the on-chain movement of funds, continuously monitoring how value flows between known and unknown actors across blockchains via swaps and bridges.
- - Evolve the next-generation clustering platform, ensuring Chainalysis stays ahead of an ever-changing blockchain landscape.
- We’re looking for candidates who have: - Strong hands-on software and data engineering skills - you're comfortable reviewing code, writing design docs, debugging production systems, and making architectural decisions alongside your team. - Deep
- experience with large-scale data processing and distributed systems (e.g., Spark, Flink, Databricks, Airflow, or similar).
- You can evaluate trade-offs, not just delegate them. - A track record of leading multiple high-performing engineering teams - while staying close enough to the technical details to unblock, challenge, and elevate the work. - A keen interest and desire to drive the teams to embrace and thrive in an AI first environment -
- Experience managing across multiple problem domains simultaneously, with the ability to context-switch between strategic planning and hands-on technical contribution.
- - Interest in blockchain and cryptocurrencies (or eagerness to learn - we'll help).
- experience with blockchain technology, cryptocurrency protocols, or on-chain data analysis. -
- Experience with entity resolution, graph algorithms, or large-scale clustering problems. - Familiarity with cost optimization for high-throughput data pipelines Technologies we use: - AWS serverless architectures - Kubernetes - Spark - Flink - Java - Python - Databricks - RisingWave - Parquet, Iceberg, Delta, Paimon - Terraform - GitHub AI at Chainalysis AI is not a feature at Chainalysis - it is a new way of working.
- As the world's most trusted blockchain analytics platform, Chainalysis sits at a rare intersection of proprietary data, regulatory relationships and crypto expertise that makes it uniquely placed to shape and lead the next era of AI-driven intelligence - and we expect everyone here, regardless of role, to be an active part of it.
- AI fluency is tied directly to how we measure performance and how we plan to win.
- We are not using AI to do less.
- About Chainalysis Chainalysis is the blockchain data platform, making it easy to connect the movement of digital assets to real-world services.
- Powered by deep blockchain data and AI, organizations can investigate illicit activity, manage risk exposure, and develop innovative market solutions built on the industry's most trusted blockchain intelligence.
- Our mission is to build trust in blockchains, blending safety and security with an unwavering commitment to growth and innovation. You belong here.
Benefits
- - Drive the technical vision and roadmap across both domains, balancing reliability, scalability, cost efficiency, and speed of iteration.
