• Blockchain tracing expertise — Deep hands-on experience tracing funds across multiple blockchains and through laundering or obfuscation techniques
• Extensive investigative tradecraft — Demonstrated ability to independently run complex investigations and synthesize findings into clear written intelligence products
• Ransomware domain expertise — Deep understanding of the broader cybercrime ecosystem and relationships among ransomware operators, affiliates, initial access brokers, malware developers, laundering networks, and cash-out services
• Excellent written and verbal communication — Ability to turn technically complex tracing findings into understandable, actionable intelligence
• Judgment and execution — Strong judgment, curiosity, and ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment

• Experience mentoring peers, shaping analytical standards, or improving investigative workflows
• Advanced practitioner-level knowledge of crypto forensics concepts
• Recognized subject matter depth and a track record of shaping methodology or high-priority investigative strategy
Benefits
• High velocity, high ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact
• Work at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting crime
• Close collaboration across teams and functions
• Creative problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking
• Environment that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes
