• Designed and launched new innovative solutions to ever expanding customer and company use cases

A background like this helps:

• Security clearance (not required, but preferred)
• Prior experience using data analytics to solve real world problems, often requiring the ability to communicate well to technical and non-technical audiences
• Deep conceptual understanding of data science allowing you to identify the best model for a given project coupled with a strong technical skill set allowing you to then build it 
• You are adamant about data ethics and integrity
• You are passionate about data and sharing that with others
• Insatiable curiosity about cryptocurrencies and the growing blockchain ecosystem.

At Chainalysis, we help government agencies, cryptocurrency businesses, and financial institutions track and investigate illicit activity on the blockchain, allowing them to engage confidently with cryptocurrency.
