Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
In this role, you’ll:
Build and maintain backend services and APIs that support transfer and withdrawal screening, continuous monitoring, and risk aggregation.
Develop event-driven data ingestion and processing systems that handle growing volumes of blockchain activity with a focus on correctness, throughput, and latency.
Own scoped features and improvements from design through implementation, testing, deployment, and production support, with guidance on broader architectural decisions.
Contribute to platform modernization by improving existing services and helping deliver incremental migrations with safe rollouts.
Work with Product and partner engineering teams to clarify requirements, discuss tradeoffs, and deliver changes that address customer needs.
Improve automated tests, monitoring, and documentation so the team can understand system behavior and detect problems early.
Participate in code reviews, debug production issues, and contribute to incident response and blameless postmortems that improve our systems.
We’re looking for candidates who have:
Experience using AI-assisted development tools to make the development process more efficient, grounded in strong engineering fundamentals, with examples of how you verified AI-generated output and improved the result.
Experience building and maintaining backend services in production, including APIs and database integrations.
Proficiency in an object-oriented programming language. We primarily use Java and welcome engineers with experience in other languages who are ready to learn.
Experience developing cloud-based services on AWS or another major cloud provider, and an understanding of microservices and distributed systems fundamentals.
Experience with SQL and relational databases, including designing data models and writing queries.
Familiarity with event-driven architectures or streaming applications, and an understanding of how failures, retries, and duplicate events affect data correctness.
A record of delivering well-tested code, diagnosing issues, and taking responsibility for the software they build.
Clear communication and a collaborative approach to working with engineering and Product partners.
Interest in blockchain and cryptocurrencies, or eagerness to learn. Prior blockchain experience is not required.
Nice to have:
- Experience with Java and Spring, Kafka, or Apache Flink.
- Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, or production observability tools.
- Experience improving or migrating production systems while maintaining service continuity.
- Experience with customer-facing systems that have strict latency or availability requirements.
- Background in compliance, payments, fraud, or another regulated domain.
- AI at Chainalysis AI is not a feature at Chainalysis - it is a new way of working. One that turns instructions into work done, and helps us move faster than the threats we're built to counter, and we expect our employees to take ownership of the output and ensure quality. 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. There is no substitute for your own curiosity. We provide the tools, workflows, and space to experiment - but the expectation is that you develop these capabilities yourself, bring ideas, and collaborate across teams to reinvent the way work gets done. We are not using AI to do less. We are using it to do what was never possible before.
