🕵️♂️ The Mission
Join our crypto intelligence unit to hunt darknet traffickers, ransomware gangs, and sanction evaders. You’ll build tools that:
- Unmask anonymous actors through graph network analysis
- Decode SAR narratives using NLP to flag high-risk transactions
- Track illicit funds across 50+ blockchains in real-time
- Generate synthetic criminal datasets to train our AI sleuths
This isn’t just data science—it’s de-anonymizing crypto’s underworld.
🎯 Key Responsibilities
⚔️ Tactical Analytics Development
- Build Python microservices to automate entity resolution (wallets → real-world IDs)
- Optimize Gremlin/Cypher queries to trace funds through mixers/chain hops
- Extract alpha from unstructured text (SARs, darknet forums, blockchain memos)
🕸️ Network Forensics
- Detect money laundering patterns via community detection & centrality algorithms
- Map cross-chain bridges favored by North Korean APTs and ransomware cartels
- Integrate GPS, banking, and blockchain data to pinpoint physical threat hubs
☁️ Secure Infrastructure
- Deploy analytics on air-gapped AWS GovCloud environments
- Generate synthetic transaction graphs mimicking OFAC-sanctioned protocols
🔍 Who We Need
✅ Non-Negotiables:
- Active Top Secret clearance (TS/SCI preferred)
- Python/SQL mastery: Pandas, NetworkX, Apache TinkerPop
- Graph analytics expertise: Centrality, community detection, illicit pattern recognition
- Blockchain fluency: UTXO vs. account-based chains, privacy coin tracing
✅ Crime-Fighting Arsenal:
- NLP for SAR narrative analysis (spaCy, NLTK)
- AWS cloud ops (Lambda, RDS, Neptune)
- Machine learning for anomaly detection (SKLearn, TensorFlow)
🛡️ Why This Role Matters
- Direct impact: Your tools protect national security and financial systems
- Cutting-edge tech: Work with petabyte-scale blockchain datasets
- Elite team: Collaborate with IC agency veterans and crypto forensic OGs
- Classified briefings: Access threat intel unavailable to commercial firms
⚠️ Application Requirement:
Proof of active Top Secret clearance required before technical interviews
🔑 Stand Out By:
- Describe a blockchain tracing challenge you solved (redact sensitive ops)
- Sketch a graph schema for tracking funds through 3 hop patterns
- Propose an NLP approach to flag high-risk SAR keywords in narratives
⚠️ Clearance Notice
All applicants must maintain active TS clearance. Role involves handling FOUO/NOFORN data. US citizenship required.
(Veterans and intelligence community professionals strongly encouraged to apply.)
