• Design and continuously improve on-chain monitoring rules/models for deposits, address interactions, fund source analysis, and anomalous patterns.
• Monitor company wallet activity (hot/warm/cold), deposit addresses, and high-risk interactions in real time/near real time.
• Detect and investigate suspicious behaviors (e.g., mixers/tumblers, risky protocols, rapid layering, abnormal deposit patterns).
• Implement risk controls such as deposit credit gating, address screening, exposure limits, and intervention workflows (automated/manual).
• Define thresholds by network/token/wallet tier (hot/warm/cold).
• Support decisions such as delaying/returning deposits, freezing addresses, and escalating cases with Ops/Compliance.
• Lead/support investigations and produce clear risk assessment reports with recommended actions (hold/block/release/escalate, SAR/STR/referral).
• Maintain case workflows, escalation matrices, and documentation standards.
• Partner with Compliance on sanctions screening and regulatory reporting.
• Work with Product/Engineering/Data to define tooling, dashboards, alerting, and decision engines.
• Tune rules to balance detection quality, false positives, and operational efficiency.
• Collaborate with Wallet/Deposit Ops, Product, Compliance, Legal, and Treasury.

Requirements

• 3 years in crypto risk, blockchain analytics, AML transaction monitoring, or digital asset compliance/operations (with on-chain/wallet exposure).
• Strong blockchain fundamentals and fund flow analysis (UTXO vs account-based, clustering, fund paths).
• Hands-on experience with blockchain analytics tools (e.g., Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM, Arkham, or equivalent).
• Experience designing/operating risk rules, alerts, and case investigations.
• Familiarity with AML/CFT and sanctions expectations for virtual asset service providers.
• Strong analytical/investigative skills and clear communication.

Preferred
