• Lead deep-dive forensic investigations into high-risk wallet networks, sanctioned entities, mixers and tumblers, cross-chain obfuscation, and DeFi/DEX exposure; author evidentiary summaries for SAR and STR filings.
• Partner directly with regional MLROs and legal advisors to align on-chain monitoring parameters with regulatory mandates, Travel Rule protocols, and licensing applications.
• Direct the integration of blockchain analytics APIs into internal case management systems alongside Product and Engineering teams to maximize operational throughput.

What you bring

• Advanced expertise and hands-on power-user capability with enterprise blockchain intelligence tools such as Chainalysis KYT, TRM Labs, and Elliptic.
• A demonstrated track record of building operational compliance functions from the ground up, including writing SOPs, setting escalation policies, and designing review criteria.
