Senior/Staff Software Engineer

Blockchain technology is powering a growing wave of innovation. Businesses and governments around the world are using blockchains to make banking more efficient, connect with their customers, and investigate criminal cases. As adoption of blockchain technology grows, more and more organizations seek access to all this ecosystem has to offer. That’s where Chainalysis comes in. We provide complete knowledge of what’s happening on blockchains through our data, services, and solutions. With Chainalysis, organizations can navigate blockchains safely and with confidence.

The engineering team at Chainalysis is inspired by solving the hardest technical challenges and creating products that build trust in cryptocurrencies. We’re a global organization with teams in Denmark, UK, and the USA who thrive on the challenging work we do and doing it with other exceptionally talented teammates. Our industry changes every day and our job is to create user facing products supported by a flexible and scalable data platform allowing us to adapt to those rapid changes and bring value to our customers.

As a Software Engineer within Investigations, you’ll join a team of other engineers and share the responsibility of providing the right tools for the right data in order to build best in class customer experiences for our customers. Thus, you’ll find the opportunity to lead, build and maintain new customer facing web frontend features as well as the services backing them. Part of this responsibility is also to learn and understand the underlying data platform, in order to partner with product managers and designers to deliver impactful solutions to our customers.

In This Role, You’Ll:

• Grow to be part of an established team with a smooth and sustainable way of collaborating and sharing tasks. A team which can focus on generating impact and spend less time on maintenance and bugs.
• Be working and pairing with other members of your dedicated team, becoming a key contributor to solutions with a high degree of availability and low maintainability.
• Leverage your passion for learning and curiosity around cryptocurrencies/decentralized-finance to seek out knowledge and collaborate with people close to our products, which will lead to greater customer understanding and value.
• Be able to take great pride in materializing product ideas through production in both the backend and the frontend.

We’re looking for candidates who have:

• Experience with object-oriented programming languages. We mostly use Java but appreciate a variety of languages!
• Experience with building and running your own services. I.e. to monitor and maintain shipped features/services. We primarily use Datadog and Humio.
• Experience with shipping and iterating in close collaboration with design and product partners.
• Experience with cloud providers, ideally AWS.
• Experience with infrastructure as code. Terraform and Kubernetes is a plus!
• Experience mentoring other engineers, leading cross-team projects, and driving design and technology decisions

Nice To Have Experience:

• Experience with modern Kubernetes practices, including controllers and operator patterns, is a plus. Familiarity with managing databases within a Kubernetes environment is also beneficial.
• Experience with frontend development. We mainly use React and Angular.
• Exposure to or interest in the cryptocurrency technology ecosystem
• Experience with PostgreSQL maintenance and performance tuning including optimizing query plans and tuning settings.
