Chainalysis provides compliance and investigation software to the world’s leading banks, businesses, and governments. In real terms, we've enabled law enforcement to solve the Twitter hack, intercept terrorist financing, take down one of the world's largest child-exploitation rings. We also help cryptocurrency business and banks like Barclay's, Binance, etc. work together to fight money-laundering and other illicit activity.

The Engineers at Chainalysis are driven by working on new technical challenges every day. Relentless problem-solvers and big dreamers, we’re creating the building blocks for future blockchain technologies. 

A Software Engineer on the Reactor team is really good at building services that scale and empower our customers to do some of the most important and impactful work in the crypto industry, ultimately enabling  law enforcement agencies, the world’s largest cryptocurrency businesses, and financial institutions to do things like take down darkweb marketplaces, track and prevent terrorist financing, prosecute child predators, and solve the Twitter Hack (yeah, we do all that!). We measure success by building components that are reusable and replaceable, reducing time to production, and building collaborative relationships across the company.
