About this role

Join Chainalysis as a Staff Threat Detection Engineer to lead corporate threat detection strategies and enhance security across blockchain technologies.

Description

Chainalysis is a leader in blockchain technology, providing data, services, and solutions to help organizations navigate blockchains safely and confidently.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll:

  • Lead Detection Strategy: Own the end-to-end roadmap for corporate threat detection, mapping coverage against frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
  • Engineer High-Fidelity Detections: Design and maintain scalable detection logic across SIEM, EDR, and cloud logging platforms (AWS/GCP).
  • Conduct Threat Hunting: Plan and execute hypothesis-driven hunting campaigns to uncover novel TTPs and turn findings into durable controls.
  • Perform Risk Modeling: Lead threat assessments and design reviews for new technology onboarding and product design changes.
  • Optimize Response: Partner with Incident Response to refine alert quality, automate triage playbooks, and reduce time-to-containment.
  • Mentor & Influence: Provide technical leadership and mentorship to the DaRE team while influencing product teams to improve visibility and remediate gaps.
Requirements

We’re looking for candidates who have:

  • 8+ years of experience in detection engineering, SOC, or incident response at scale.
  • Deep expertise in building and tuning detections within SIEM, EDR, and log analytics platforms.
  • Advanced proficiency in writing complex detection queries (e.g., KQL, SPL, SQL).
  • Demonstrated experience detecting modern attacker TTPs across endpoint, identity, and cloud environments.
  • Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash) for automation and enrichment.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional security initiatives with IT and Engineering stakeholders.

Nice to have experience:

  • Experience leading threat hunting in cloud-first or SaaS-heavy environments.
  • Familiarity with securing AI integrations and managing associated security risks.
  • Knowledge of blockchain ecosystems and threats specific to the Web3/Crypto space.
  • Prior experience in a Staff-level technical leadership or mentorship role.
  • Red teaming experience against web technologies - OSINT and investigations.
