AI Blockchain Risk Control Engineer

About the Role This role builds AI-powered on-chain monitoring, forensics, and risk detection systems. You will combine deep blockchain data analysis with agentic engineering to create tools that identify illicit fund flows, detect anomalous on-chain behaviour, and support real-time risk decision making across operations. Key Responsibilities 1. Build and maintain on-chain data analysis pipelines for real-time monitoring of suspicious transactions, wallet clustering, and fund flow tracing 2. Develop AI Agent systems that automate forensic investigation workflows: anomaly detection to entity attribution to risk scoring to alert generation 3. Integrate and extend blockchain analytics tools (Chainalysis, Nansen, Dune Analytics, or inhouse equivalents) 4. Build detection models for specific risk scenarios: fake deposit attacks, flash loan exploits, wash trading, mixer usage, and cross-chain laundering 5. Collaborate with compliance, legal, and security teams to support incident response and regulatory reporting 6. Rapidly prototype and iterate on analytical tooling using AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) Major Requirements 1. On-chain data analysis + security/risk control background both required, not either/or 2. Familiarity with blockchain protocols, smart contract mechanics, consensus mechanisms, and cryptography fundamentals 3. Hands-on experience with blockchain monitoring/forensics tools: Chainalysis, Nansen, Dune Analytics, or equivalent 4. Solid proficiency in at least one of: SQL / Python / JavaScript 5. Practical experience with Agentic Engineering: using AI coding agents to rapidly build and iterate on tools 6. Ability to independently lead a full forensic investigation from anomaly identification to complete attribution Preferred / Bonus • Real-world experience investigating crypto theft, fraud, or market manipulation cases end-to end • Smart contract vulnerability research background • Experience building custom on-chain analytics tooling from scratch • Familiarity with UTXO-based chains (Bitcoin, Monero) in addition to EVM • Understanding of regulatory frameworks: FATF Travel Rule, AML/KYC requirements in crypto context
