Intelligence Analyst

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 an Intelligence Analyst, you'll help build it across the crypto-services ecosystem - end to end: you collect the data, analyze it, and produce the attribution. And you won't work one entity at a time; you'll build and tune the AI and automation that turn your analysis into attribution at scale.

Who you'll work with
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.

In this role, you'll:

• Investigate and attribute activity across the crypto-services ecosystem, connecting on-chain activity to real-world entities.
• Proactively surface what's worth investigating - and the automation worth building.
• Build and tune AI workflows that scale your analysis - and handle the edge cases automation can't.
• Drive the data collection and research that keep our attribution comprehensive and fresh.
• Hold a high bar for accuracy, analytic rigor, and documentation.
• Become a certified cryptocurrency professional across all Chainalysis certifications.

We're looking for candidates who have:

• Elite potential - high aptitude, sharp judgment, and a strong work ethic. This is a demanding role, and we hire only people who can clear a high bar and keep raising it.
• 2+ years of analytical or investigative experience (intelligence, law enforcement, cyber, fraud, compliance, or research).
• Strong research instincts and analytic rigor.
• Initiative - you spot what needs investigating and go after it without waiting to be told.
• Adaptability - comfortable with ambiguity and energized by a fast-moving space; the threats, the tech, and our tooling are always evolving.
• Real enthusiasm for AI - you want to build with it, not just use it.
• Comfort working with data, and curiosity about crypto and blockchain.

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.
