Manager Engineering, Compliance Core

The engineering team at Chainalysis is inspired by solving the hardest technical challenges and building products that establish trust in cryptocurrencies. We're a global organization that thrives on challenging work and doing it alongside exceptionally talented teammates. Our industry evolves rapidly, and our mission is to build a flexible, AI-driven platform that automates entity resolution, optimizes data labeling pipelines, and creates predictive models that identify illicit patterns before they escalate.

Compliance Core builds and operates the platform that customers rely on to evaluate blockchain risk in real time and continuously monitor activity across billions of transfers. Our systems screen transfers and withdrawals, reassess exposure as new information arrives, aggregate risk at the user and organization level, and power datasets used by other teams and customers.

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the team and shape the next generation of this platform. You’ll help decide what to evolve, rebuild, or retire, and sequence those changes while keeping our systems reliable for every customer. This role combines hands-on technical leadership with responsibility for the team’s growth, delivery, and operational health.

• Experience building and operating high-throughput, event-driven distributed systems

• Strong hands-on engineering judgment. You can work through implementation details, identify the real constraints in a design, and help the team make sound architectural decisions.

• Experience managing engineers, including coaching, performance management, and career development, with evidence of improving both team effectiveness and engineering quality.

• A track record of delivering complex technical initiatives across teams, breaking ambiguous problems into manageable steps, and balancing immediate customer needs with longer-term platform investment.

• A collaborative leadership style: you welcome challenges, explain your decisions, and help engineers develop the judgment and ownership to lead work themselves.

• Interest in blockchain and cryptocurrencies, or eagerness to learn.

• Experience modernizing or migrating critical production systems while maintaining service continuity.

• Familiarity with JVM services in production.

• Experience operating customer-facing systems with strict latency and availability requirements.

• Background in compliance, payments, fraud, or another regulated domain.

• Blockchain protocol knowledge.
