Summary and company overview
Role Summary
The Data Solutions/Transpose team is an exciting new member of the Chainalysis family, working to deliver a cutting edge blockchain intelligence platform used by the world’s foremost intelligence, law enforcement, tax, and regulatory agencies, alongside many market leaders in the private sector. Our technology is used to automate and simplify solutions to complex investigations, provide real-time threat actor monitoring, give insight into the topology of threat landscapes, and much more.
As a Senior Data Scientist, you’ll lead the design and curation of all of the data assets that are provided to our customers within our product to execute on these mission areas. You will be responsible for interacting directly with our customers, understanding unmet mission needs, and translating this into the development and improvement of data assets that leverage the data produced by dozens of other teams across Chainalysis, as well as datasets that we purchase from external providers.
You’ll help us to raise the bar on data quality, by working closely with Data Engineers to implement reliability, trustworthy pipelines and automated data quality checks. In aggregate, the work that you lead will provide our customers with the ability to derive powerful and unique insights that are used to drive global investigatory efforts, trans-national threat actor monitoring, national security enhancements, and much more.

- Conduct data analysis and customer/stakeholder conversations to understand the success of customers with our data, and our product.
- Experiment with new methodologies to derive powerful conclusions from the hundreds of terabytes worth of datasets we already have accessible in our platforms.
- Manage the lifecycle of data assets (customer-facing launches, changes, deprecations, etc.)
- Have a significant impact on the landscape of national security, international law enforcement, and promoting safe adoption of cryptocurrency in the mainstream.
