Senior Intelligence Analyst, Iran Focus
The R&D team at Chainalysis is inspired by solving the hardest technical challenges and building products that establish trust in cryptocurrencies. We're a global organization that thrives on challenging work and doing it alongside exceptionally talented teammates. Our industry evolves rapidly, and our mission is to build a flexible, AI-driven platform that automates entity resolution, optimizes data labeling pipelines, and creates predictive models that identify illicit patterns before they escalate.
Our data and solutions have been used to solve some of the world's most high-profile criminal cases and grow consumer access to cryptocurrency safely. Now, by pairing the industry's most trusted blockchain data with agents that reason, investigate, and act, we help our customers scale their workflows as the cryptocurrency economy becomes increasingly mainstream.
Chainalysis data has helped solve some of the world’s highest-profile criminal and national-security cases and made it safer for people everywhere to access crypto. The Global Intelligence Team produces the attribution at the heart of that data — connecting on-chain activity to the real-world entities behind it, across the global crypto ecosystem. It’s the intelligence data moat beneath every Chainalysis product, and what investigators, sanctions authorities, and national-security agencies rely on to follow the money and disrupt threats.
Few threats test that mission harder than Iran. Through the IRGC and its Qods Force, a network of proxies and Shia militant groups, state-linked cyber actors, and a sprawling sanctions-evasion apparatus, the Islamic Republic has turned to cryptocurrency to raise, move, and launder value beyond the reach of the traditional financial system — from exchange-based sanctions evasion and crypto mining powered by subsidized energy, to oil- and commodity-for-crypto schemes, dual-use procurement, and the financing of proxies across the region. Making that activity visible on-chain is one of the most consequential problems in crypto intelligence today.
As our Iran-focused intelligence analyst — the team’s subject-matter expert on Iran and the IRGC — you’ll own that problem end to end. This is a depth role: while our analysts cover the breadth of the crypto-services ecosystem, you’ll go deep on a single, high-stakes domain — becoming the person, inside Chainalysis and increasingly across the industry, who understands how Iran and its proxies use crypto and can prove it on-chain. You’ll own the attribution for Iran’s crypto footprint, map how these networks actually operate, turn that into finished intelligence customers act on, and be the expert voice representing Chainalysis on Iran crypto threats.
Who you’ll work with
You’ll join a fast-moving, globally distributed team — analysts, threat-domain SMEs, data scientists, and engineers — collaborating across time zones, async and in real time. We move fast, hold each other to a high bar, and back each other up across regions. As the Iran SME, you’ll be the single point of depth for the domain and a force multiplier for everyone working adjacent to it.
In this role, you’ll:
Own Iran attribution end to end — the threat-actor entities, their definitions, and the accounts, addresses, and infrastructure they operate: Iranian exchanges and OTC/no-KYC networks, IRGC and IRGC-QF financing, Iranian proxy and Shia militant finance (e.g., Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi militias), sanctions-evasion infrastructure, Iranian ransomware and state-linked cyber operations, and oil-, commodity-, and procurement-for-crypto flows.
Lead the attribution response to Iran-related sanctions events — when OFAC or allied authorities designate Iranian entities, actors, or infrastructure, drive the rapid, high-visibility on-chain attribution that turns those designations into coverage in our data, often against the clock.
Map the networks on-chain — trace how Iranian actors raise, move, launder, and cash out value through Iranian VASPs, regional exchanges, mixers, no-KYC swaps, mining operations, and off-ramps, and keep that picture current as they adapt to pressure.
Produce finished intelligence — advisory notes, customer and partner briefings, and contributions to flagship publications (the Crypto Crime Report and beyond) that make the Iran crypto threat legible and actionable.
Be the named external expert — represent Chainalysis on Iran crypto threats at conferences, on panels, with the press, and in briefings to public- and private-sector partners.
Help set the Iran collection agenda — surface what data we need on Iranian networks and feed those requirements into our collection process and priority intelligence requirements; you direct collection for the domain, but it runs through the team’s apparatus and prioritization, not you alone.
Translate typologies into detection — turn what you learn about Iranian methods into guidance that our products and our customers can operationalize.
Build with AI — design and tune the automation that scales your analysis and the team’s, and handle the hard cases automation can’t.
-
Level up the team — raise the bar on Iran and threat-finance tradecraft broadly, and partner closely with analysts, other SMEs, data science, and engineering.
We’re looking for candidates who have:
Deep, demonstrable Iran expertise — real command of the IRGC and IRGC-Qods Force, Iran’s proxy and Shia militant landscape, Iranian sanctions evasion, and/or Iran’s illicit-finance and procurement systems. This is the core of the role, and we’ll expect you to show it.
On-chain tracing ability against Iranian targets — direct experience following Iranian crypto activity on-chain (Iranian exchanges, sanctions evasion, proxy or terror finance), or deep Iran threat-finance expertise paired with proven blockchain-tracing skill you can bring to bear here from day one.
A national-security or threat-finance background — intelligence, sanctions, counter-threat-finance, or investigations, from the IC, Treasury/OFAC, law enforcement, the military, a think tank or research institution, or private-sector CTF/sanctions work.
Regional fluency — a strong grasp of Iranian geopolitics, the proxy network, and regional financial flows. Farsi (or Arabic) language ability is a significant plus.
Elite potential and a proven track record — exceptional aptitude, judgment, and work ethic; you’ve led hard problems end to end and you raise everyone around you.
Excellent writing and communication — this is an outward-facing expert role; your intelligence has to land with analysts, customers, and senior audiences alike.
AI-forward instincts — you build automation to scale your work and others’, not just use it.
Comfort working with data; blockchain forensics experience strongly preferred.
5+ years of relevant analytic, intelligence, or threat-finance experience for a Senior hire; 8+ years and recognized domain authority for a Staff hire.
You might also have:
Farsi language ability.
Direct experience with OFAC sanctions, terror-finance designations, or the designation process.
A record of published research or public speaking on Iran, sanctions evasion, or crypto threat finance.
Familiarity with Iranian exchange infrastructure, crypto mining as a sanctions-evasion vector, or dual-use procurement networks.
AI at Chainalysis
AI is not a feature at Chainalysis - it is a new way of working. One that turns instructions into work done, and helps us move faster than the threats we're built to counter, and we expect our employees to take ownership of the output and ensure quality. As the world's most trusted blockchain analytics platform, Chainalysis sits at a rare intersection of proprietary data, regulatory relationships and crypto expertise that makes it uniquely placed to shape and lead the next era of AI-driven intelligence - and we expect everyone here, regardless of role, to be an active part of it.
AI fluency is tied directly to how we measure performance and how we plan to win. There is no substitute for your own curiosity. We provide the tools, workflows, and space to experiment - but the expectation is that you develop these capabilities yourself, bring ideas, and collaborate across teams to reinvent the way work gets done. We are not using AI to do less. We are using it to do what was never possible before.

It’s the intelligence data moat beneath every Chainalysis product, and what investigators, sanctions authorities, and national-security agencies rely on to follow the money and disrupt threats.
Few threats test that mission harder than North Korea and China. Through Lazarus Group, the DPRK has stolen billions in crypto — via exchange and DeFi hacks and IT-worker schemes — to fund its weapons program, then laundered it through mixers, cross-chain bridges, and Chinese OTC networks. China, in turn, sits at the center of global crypto money laundering — from guarantee marketplaces and underground banking to scam compounds, fentanyl vendors, and cartel-linked laundering. The two are deeply intertwined, and making that activity visible on-chain is one of the most consequential problems in crypto intelligence today.
As our DPRK- and China-focused intelligence analyst — the team’s subject-matter expert on North Korea and China — you’ll own that problem end to end. This is a depth role: while our analysts cover the breadth of the crypto-services ecosystem, you’ll go deep on a single, high-stakes domain — becoming the person, inside Chainalysis and increasingly across the industry, who understands how DPRK and Chinese actors use crypto and can prove it on-chain.

Lead the attribution response to DPRK- and China-related sanctions events — when OFAC or allied authorities designate DPRK actors, exchange-hacking units, or Chinese laundering networks, drive the rapid, high-visibility on-chain attribution that turns those designations into coverage in our data, often against the clock.
Map the networks on-chain — trace how stolen and illicit funds move through mixers, cross-chain bridges, no-KYC swaps, OTC brokers, and off-ramps, following DPRK hack proceeds into and through Chinese laundering infrastructure, and keep that picture current as they adapt to pressure.
Produce finished intelligence — advisory notes, customer and partner briefings, and contributions to flagship publications (the Crypto Crime Report and beyond) that make DPRK theft/laundering and Chinese money laundering legible and actionable.

AI at Chainalysis
AI is not a feature at Chainalysis - it is a new way of working. One that turns instructions into work done, and helps us move faster than the threats we're built to counter, and we expect our employees to take ownership of the output and ensure quality. As the world's most trusted blockchain analytics platform, Chainalysis sits at a rare intersection of proprietary data, regulatory relationships and crypto expertise that makes it uniquely placed to shape and lead the next era of AI-driven intelligence - and we expect everyone here, regardless of role, to be an active part of it.
AI fluency is tied directly to how we measure performance and how we plan to win. There is no substitute for your own curiosity. We provide the tools, workflows, and space to experiment - but the expectation is that you develop these capabilities yourself, bring ideas, and collaborate across teams to reinvent the way work gets done. We are not using AI to do less. We are using it to do what was never possible before.

Software Engineer II, Gov Systems
The engineering team at Chainalysis is inspired by solving the hardest technical challenges and building products that establish trust in cryptocurrencies. We're a global organization that thrives on challenging work and doing it alongside exceptionally talented teammates. Our industry evolves rapidly, and our mission is to build a flexible, AI-driven platform that automates entity resolution, optimizes data labeling pipelines, and creates predictive models that identify illicit patterns before they escalate.
Our data and solutions have been used to solve some of the world's most high-profile criminal cases and grow consumer access to cryptocurrency safely. Now, by pairing the industry's most trusted blockchain data with agents that reason, investigate, and act, we help our customers scale their workflows as the cryptocurrency economy becomes increasingly mainstream.
The Government Systems team within the Investigations group ensures that Chainalysis's most security-sensitive customers can run Reactor reliably in their own environments — including fully air-gapped networks with no internet connectivity. Government Systems owns the critical path from "Chainalysis builds software" to "a government customer is running it." Reactor product teams own their application code, but rely on Government Systems to build the installer, deliver data, manage multi-tenant configurations, and provide the admin interface that customers use to operate the system. The team partners with product engineering across the Investigations group, as well as Security, Compliance (FedRAMP), and Customer Success to ensure that every release is reproducible, secure, and customer-ready.
We are hiring a Software Engineer to join the Government Systems team, building the software that packages, delivers, and manages Chainalysis Reactor for government and high-security customers. This role involves writing Go and Java services, building installer tooling, developing data delivery pipelines, and extending an admin portal UI — requiring you to work across the full stack and deeply understand the constraints of on-premises and air-gapped environments to effectively partner with product teams and compliance stakeholders.
This position requires U.S. citizenship due to applicable government operating requirements.
In this role, you'll:
Design and develop the software installer — a Go-based CLI that automates provisioning, manifest rendering, image bundling, and end-to-end deployment of Reactor to customer environments, including fully air-gapped networks
Build and maintain the blockchain data delivery pipeline — the Java services that package blockchain data in the cloud, deliver it to customer sites, and unpack it for ingestion into the on-premises system
Extend and improve the Admin Portal — a React-based web UI backed by a Node.js server that enables customers to manage users, roles, permissions, and monitor system health on their on-premises installation
Develop infrastructure as code (Terraform) to provision and manage the AWS-based environments used for development, acceptance testing, and data delivery
Collaborate with product service teams to integrate their applications into the on-prem deployment platform, defining deployment configurations, resolving environment-specific issues, and designing multi-tenancy capabilities that ensure secure isolation between tenants
-
Support FedRAMP compliance requirements by designing audit logging, RBAC policies, package signing, and security hardening into the platform — writing well-tested, well-documented code with unit tests, integration tests, and CI-driven quality gates across Go, Java, and JavaScript
We're looking for candidates who have:
Proficiency in Java, JavaScript, Go, and Bash for building production software — services, systems-level code, and CLI tools
Strong working knowledge of Kubernetes — deployments, networking, storage, Helm, and troubleshooting workloads in production
Comfort working across the stack — from backend data pipelines to a React-based admin UI when needed
Experience with infrastructure as code, particularly Terraform
Solid Linux fundamentals (RHEL or similar — networking, storage, process management)
A strong sense of ownership and effective cross-team collaboration — you write code you're proud to operate, think about failure modes before they happen, and work alongside product engineers who consume the platform and tooling you build
US Citizenship due to applicable government operating requirements
You might also have:
Experience building custom Kubernetes operators (Operator SDK or controller-runtime), or with air-gapped and disconnected deployment strategies, OCI registries, and image mirroring
Experience with data delivery systems — packaging, signing, distributing, and verifying large datasets or software artifacts — and familiarity with Kafka or other event streaming platforms
Exposure to compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP and their implications for software design (audit logging, RBAC, encryption at rest), or experience designing multi-tenant architecture for secure isolation within shared infrastructure
Familiarity with React or frontend frameworks for admin tooling, PostgreSQL in production, GitOps tooling (Flux CD, Kustomize, Helm), or interest in the cryptocurrency technology ecosystem
Technologies we use:
Languages: Java, JavaScript (Node.js, React), Go, Bash, HCL (Terraform)
Kubernetes: RKE2, Helm, Kustomize, Flux CD
Cloud provider: AWS (EC2, S3, EBS, VPC, IAM, Lambda, CloudFront)
Frontend: React, Tailwind CSS
Monitoring and observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Humio
Database management: PostgreSQL
