We help our customers make the crypto economy a safe place to transact and invest as crypto paves the way for a new, digital monetary system.   Crypto businesses, financial institutions, and government turn to Elliptic for blockchain analytics, training, and certification to better manage financial crime risk in crypto. We have grown globally with teams in the UK, USA, Singapore and Tokyo. 

Eliptic is looking for an experienced engineer who will work collaboratively with data science, product, and other engineers to help build a new blockchain forensics investigation tool. The challenges include working with large batch and streaming data sets, building a solution that is blockchain agnostic, and solving hard data processing problems to give our customers a deep understanding of how value moves throughout the crypto space. We are looking for somebody who brings new ideas and approaches to development, who makes decisions using data to validate their hypotheses, and who loves solving hard problems.
