Blockchain technology is powering a growing wave of innovation. Businesses and governments around the world are using blockchains to make banking more efficient, connect with their customers, investigate criminal cases and track transnational threats.

- Evangelize the Chainalysis mission of bringing trust to blockchains, becoming an expert in using our tools and data to generate insights on illicit activity trends in crypto and their impact on our customers

We're looking for candidates who have:

- An active U.S. Government Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmentalized Information (TS/SCI) security clearance with counterintelligence (CI) or full-scope (FS) polygraph
- Familiarity with Chainalysis Reactor and data (or similar industry products) and experience with cryptocurrency tracing and blockchain technology

- A degree in cybersecurity, intelligence, criminal justice, forensic accounting, data analysis, or similar subjects

- An interest in and/or passion for blockchain/cryptocurrency technology

Nice-to-have qualities and skills:

- Previous professional or personal experience in the DeFi space
- Working knowledge of (or proficiency in) SQL and Python
