About the Role
As an engineer in our Collection Engineering team, you'll build the tools and platform that power Elliptic's intelligence operation, the engine behind a product used by law enforcement, regulators, and the world's largest financial institutions to fight crypto crime.
Intelligence flows into Elliptic from everywhere. All of it needs to be ingested, classified, stored, and reviewed before it can reach our proprietary graph database, the system at the heart of our market-leading products.
Our team owns that pipeline end to end. Working alongside data scientists, analysts and researchers, you'll help design and build the services and tooling that scale the collection effort, remove bottlenecks, and free our intelligence team to focus on the work only humans can do.
Your work will get stolen funds traced, ransomware actors identified, and sanctions enforcement enabled. Few engineering roles connect code and consequence so clearly.
What you will do
Design and build software tools to improve and enhance our intelligence collection and analysis efforts. Examples of such tools range from services deployed on kubernetes to browser extensions and beyond.
Collaborate with a world class team of analysts and researchers to understand their processes and pain points, and automate them away.
Develop software to analyse and interpret cryptocurrency usage behaviours and trends.
Implement observability mechanisms to detect problems in your environment(s), and run the associated business processes to resolve.
You will be a great fit here if you
Have a passionate interest in cryptocurrencies and blockchains and their usage (both from a technical and economic perspective) in the real-world.
Have great coding skills in Typescript and the proven ability to engineer good solutions.
Have increased operational efficiency by integrating disparate systems.
Enjoy working as part of a close-knit team on highly impactful problems, making the crypto ecosystem a safer space.
