• Document and analyze attack vectors, abuse patterns, and impacts, producing actionable intelligence to strengthen ecosystem security.
• Develop scalable detection and monitoring systems — building dashboards, writing queries, and supporting incident response with data-driven insights.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to share insights on emerging risks, exploit tactics, and mitigation strategies.
• Monitor and research threat actors and blockchain trends to stay ahead of evolving threats.
• Handle sensitive cases with discretion, urgency, and professionalism.
• Perform other duties as needed to support the mission.

What We’re Looking For

• A self-driven, organized problem-solver who learns fast and works independently.
• Proven analytical and communication skills.
• Deep knowledge of blockchain ecosystems and investigative techniques.
• Strong SQL skills and experience with onchain data analysis.
• Understanding of abuse vectors and security challenges in crypto.
• Ability to leverage AI tools to enhance analytical output.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with tools such as Dune Analytics, Flipside, or Chainbase.
