About Paxos

Paxos is on a mission to enable the movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky - supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

As a regulated blockchain infrastructure company, we use technology to tokenize, custody, trade, and settle assets for enterprise clients like PayPal, Bank of America, and Interactive Brokers. Paxos is a top-funded blockchain company, with more than $500 million in total funding from leading investors like OakHC/FT, Founders Fund, PayPal Ventures, and Declaration Partners. Together, we empower today’s financial leaders to build a more open, trusted economy.

As a Blockchain Analytics Investigator, you’ll get to:

• Analyze blockchain data to identify patterns and trends in financial transactions, and communicate findings to a wide range of internal, and external stakeholders.
• Visualize the analysis into easy-to-consume storylines for stakeholders
• Maintain a thorough understanding of AML and sanctions regulatory risks, including tracking regulatory developments that may affect blockchain monitoring
• Propose innovative solutions by exploratory data analysis from complex and high-dimensional datasets, including on-chain data

Your experience should include:

• 3-5 years of prior experience in Compliance dedicated to AML Transaction Monitoring and Reporting,, Sanctions, or CDD / EDD
• 2-4 years of experience working with blockchain analytics providers to conduct investigations related to AML or Sanctions risks
• Expertise in blockchain analysis, including experience with cryptocurrency transactions, wallet addresses, and blockchain explorers
• Prior experience in investigative work, including complex investigations involving analyzing data from multiple sources, such as law enforcement or corporate investigations
• Solid understanding of computer science and technical expertise in areas such as cryptography, network security, and data analysis
• Strong analytical skills and can use data to inform your approach and inform your recommendations
• You are comfortable working in a fast-paced and tech-oriented environment within a global team setting.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively communicate findings and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

While we are not requiring prior work in the fintech, crypto, or blockchain industries, candidates must demonstrate an aptitude for the space and show they can quickly understand our processes.
