Our systems screen transfers and withdrawals, reassess exposure as new information arrives, aggregate risk at the user and organization level, and power datasets used by other teams and customers.\nAs a Software Engineer II on Compliance Core, you’ll build and maintain the backend services and data processing systems behind these capabilities. You’ll work with engineers and Product partners to deliver customer features, improve performance and reliability, and modernize the platform through incremental changes and safe rollouts.\nWe’re looking for an engineer who takes ownership of scoped projects, enjoys solving distributed systems problems, and cares about the correctness and operational health of the software they ship. You’ll contribute to design decisions, learn from experienced teammates, and grow your impact as you develop expertise in our systems and the compliance domain.\nIn this role, you’ll:\nBuild and maintain backend services and APIs that support transfer and withdrawal screening, continuous monitoring, and risk aggregation.\n\nDevelop event-driven data ingestion and processing systems that handle growing volumes of blockchain activity with a focus on correctness, throughput, and latency.\n\nOwn scoped features and improvements from design through implementation, testing, deployment, and production support, with guidance on broader architectural decisions.\n\nContribute to platform modernization by improving existing services and helping deliver incremental migrations with safe rollouts.\n\nWork with Product and partner engineering teams to clarify requirements, discuss tradeoffs, and deliver changes that address customer needs.\n\nImprove automated tests, monitoring, and documentation so the team can understand system behavior and detect problems early.\n\nParticipate in code reviews, debug production issues, and contribute to incident response and blameless postmortems that improve our systems.\n\nWe’re looking for candidates who have:\nExperience 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.\n\nExperience building and maintaining backend services in production, including APIs and database integrations.\n\nProficiency in an object-oriented programming language. We primarily use Java and welcome engineers with experience in other languages who are ready to learn.\n\nExperience developing cloud-based services on AWS or another major cloud provider, and an understanding of microservices and distributed systems fundamentals.\n\nExperience with SQL and relational databases, including designing data models and writing queries.\n\nFamiliarity with event-driven architectures or streaming applications, and an understanding of how failures, retries, and duplicate events affect data correctness.\n\nA record of delivering well-tested code, diagnosing issues, and taking responsibility for the software they build.\n\nClear communication and a collaborative approach to working with engineering and Product partners.\n\nInterest in blockchain and cryptocurrencies, or eagerness to learn. Prior blockchain experience is not required.\n\nNice to have:\nExperience with Java and Spring, Kafka, or Apache Flink.\n\nExperience with Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, or production observability tools.\n\nExperience improving or migrating production systems while maintaining service continuity.\n\nExperience with customer-facing systems that have strict latency or availability requirements.\n\nBackground in compliance, payments, fraud, or another regulated domain.\n\nAI at Chainalysis\nAI 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.\nAI 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.\nAbout Chainalysis\nChainalysis is the blockchain data platform, making it easy to connect the movement of digital assets to real-world services. Powered by deep blockchain data and AI, organizations can investigate illicit activity, manage risk exposure, and develop innovative market solutions built on the industry's most trusted blockchain intelligence.
