Chainalysis is one of the fastest growing companies in the cryptocurrency space. Our cryptocurrency investigation and compliance software is used by the world's leading law enforcement agencies, regulators, and businesses as they combat fraud, human trafficking, money laundering, and other illicit activity involving cryptocurrencies. With offices in New York, Washington D.C., and Copenhagen, we are backed by Benchmark and other leading names in venture capital. Our mission is to build trust in blockchains.

At its core, Chainalysis is a "data company." We are ingesting, processing, analyzing and enriching multiple blockchains today with many more to come. With the proliferation of crypto currencies the data volumes are rapidly increasing. As crypto becomes an integral part of the world's economic engine, the need for real-time analytics is increasing as well.

As Director of Data Engineering you will be responsible for developing, operating and scaling the systems that gather, enrich and distribute our core data assets.

At Chainalysis, Engineering Directors are technology, people and business leaders.

This position can sit in NYC or Washington D.C.

Responsibilities:
  • You will care deeply about data quality, availability, latency, and the business impact your data enables.
  • Partnering with product and infrastructure leaders, build and deliver a balanced roadmap that includes short and long-term initiatives, and an appropriate management of technical debt.
  • Working with tech leads within your team and across the company, own the architecture and technology choices critical to successful delivery. (Included here is driving a build vs. open source vs. buy/partner selection process).
  • Recruit and retain a talented global team of engineers and managers (upwards of 30 people).
  • Develop and manage a 7+ figure budget.
  • You will be a visible leader within the company and regularly communicate with the executive team and company at large, in written and spoken forms.

  • Experience in the following: systems thinking, distributed systems, data pipelines, data modelling, event-based systems, machine learning, public-cloud services, CI/CD.
