The Chainalysis engineering team is building a suite of compliance and investigation products for cryptocurrency businesses, traditional financial institutions and governments. Backend Engineers at Chainalysis build and scale backend services. They build data ingestion pipelines, optimize/scale database operations and create event driven systems. Backend Engineers on the team thrive on not just designing and implementing complex systems but also operating them. We measure our success by how well we enable our customers to fight crime and handle compliance.

In one year you’ll know you were successful if…

• You have helped the team to modernize our stack to a streaming architecture
• You have debugged production issues across multiple systems and microservices

A background like this helps:

• Love to build systems that are elegant abstractions over crypto transactions
• Designed and implemented cloud-native micro services based distributed systems
• Have built data pipeline infrastructure
• Experience in designing and implementing event-driven architecture
• Have bias to ship
• Take pride in materializing product ideas to production
• Experience in JVM. We mostly use Java but also appreciate other languages.
• Experience with Terraform and Kubernetes is valuable
