The investigations team at Chainalysis Government Solutions is made up of world class cryptocurrency investigators and data analysts who build trust in blockchains by mapping cryptocurrency activity to real-world entities–ranging from regulated exchanges to criminal networks. Chainalysis data and products are at the forefront of blockchain investigations worldwide. As a growing tech start-up, we need creative, mission-driven individuals to help us leverage our cutting-edge technology in unprecedented ways.

As a Data Analyst, Investigations, you’ll engage with investigators in joint blockchain forensic efforts and propose creative solutions to both unique and recurring problems. Your data-driven insights will be leveraged for network discovery, and help to surface behaviors and patterns of life based on blockchain activity. Your work will directly support US Government efforts to prevent the flow of funds to sanctioned countries, terrorist groups, and criminal gangs, to recover stolen assets, and to prosecute individuals and organizations that use cryptocurrency in criminal acts.

Please note that this role requires being on-site with customers in the DC Metro up to 4 days per week.

In this role, you will:

Use huge datasets to identify criminal fingerprints across multiple blockchains, leveraging Chainalysis tools and data to reveal and characterize relationships between entities on the blockchain
Perform self-managed, complex research into unique data sets to identify and process collections for investigative leads
Provide valuable insights directly to customers through the use of data analytics, improving their user experience and deepening existing relationships
Anticipate customer needs and develop solutions for them while identifying opportunities for product improvements
Build a strong relationship with our Product, Engineering, and Data teams to ensure our analytics align with the needs of our customers
Design and launch new innovative solutions to ever-expanding customer and company use cases

We’re looking for candidates who have:

An active Top Secret clearance
Bachelor's degree or higher in engineering, mathematics, statistics, or related field
4+ years of professional experience using data analytics to solve real world problems
Demonstrated expertise in data querying languages (e.g. SQL), scripting languages (e.g. Python), or statistical/mathematical software (e.g. R, SAS, Matlab, etc.)
The ability to clearly communicate complex matters to technical and non-technical audiences in a customer-facing environment
Background knowledge of blockchain analytics or forensic investigations
A proven track record as a curious, self-motivated problem solver
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

This position is ineligible for visa sponsorship.

Due to the nature of the work performed in this facility, U.S. Citizenship is required.

Due to the requirements of the customers for this role, we cannot accept candidates who do not have an active Top Secret security clearance.
