The global financial ecosystem is changing. Revolutionary blockchain technology has unlocked the potential for people around the world to have more equal access to wealth and information. This transformation has begun with the mass global adoption of cryptocurrencies but like all new financial systems, it needs greater trust to realize its full potential and remain safe from bad actors. That’s where we come in. The Chainalysis blockchain data platform enables businesses, governments, and banks to solve the world’s most high-profile criminal cases, paving the way for an economy built on blockchains.

Protocol Engineers are embedded in our data platform teams within Engineering. This team partners with research and product teams, helping to onboard new blockchains into our products. Protocol Engineers in the Data Intelligence group have a deep understanding of various protocols, are experts at parsing transaction information, build scalable ingest pipelines, and write reusable libraries. We measure success by the accuracy of the data parsed from blockchains and velocity to onboard new blockchains into our products.

In one year you’ll know you were successful if…
