Senior Intelligence Analyst

About Us

Chainalysis 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. Our mission is to build trust in blockchains, blending safety and security with an unwavering commitment to growth and innovation.

The Role

Chainalysis data has helped solve some of the world's highest-profile criminal cases and made it safer for people everywhere to access crypto. The Global Intelligence Team produces the attribution at the heart of that data — connecting on-chain activity to the real-world entities behind it, across the global crypto ecosystem. It's the intelligence data moat beneath every Chainalysis product, and what investigators and law enforcement rely on to follow the money and disrupt crime.

As a Senior Intelligence Analyst, you'll deepen it at its hardest edges and act as a force multiplier for the team. You'll collect, analyze, and produce intelligence across the crypto-services ecosystem — but your real leverage is scale: you'll design the AI and automation that multiply the whole team's output, set the analytic standard, shape what we collect, and level up the analysts around you.

You'll join a fast-moving, globally distributed team of analysts collaborating across time zones — async and in real time. We move fast, hold each other to a high bar, and back each other up across regions — and as a senior member, you'll help set that bar.

Responsibilities

• Own attribution for the most complex, high-stakes parts of the ecosystem, and set the standard for how it's done.
• Design and lead the AI/automation that scales attribution across the team.
• Shape collection strategy — what data we need and how we get it.
• Mentor analysts and raise the team's tradecraft.
• Contribute analyses and insights that feed our products and customers.
• Become a certified cryptocurrency professional across all Chainalysis certifications.

Requirements

• Elite potential and a proven track record — exceptional aptitude, judgment, and work ethic. This is a demanding, high-bar role, and you raise everyone around you.
• 5+ years of strong analytic or investigative work, including leading hard problems end to end.
• Strong research instincts and analytic rigor.
• Initiative — you set the agenda: you see what the team should be working on and drive it.
• Adaptability — comfortable with ambiguity and energized by a fast-moving space; the threats, the tech, and our tooling are always evolving.
• AI-forward instincts — you build automation to scale your work and others'.
• Comfort working with data; blockchain forensics experience a plus.
• Excellent writing and communication.

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.
