[Hiring] Blockchain Compliance Analyst @Nansen.ai

Role Description

Compliance at Nansen isn't about checklists. It's about understanding how money moves onchain — and catching what doesn't add up.

• Conduct blockchain forensics: trace fund flows, identify risk patterns, and assess exposure to designated risk categories across chains.
• As part of our AML/CFT program, run transaction monitoring for clients:
  • Investigate alerts from on-chain monitoring systems.
  • Perform end-to-end case investigations — gather data, review KYC/customer profiles, analyze counterparties and wallets, document rationale, and recommend closure or escalation.
• Build, monitor, and maintain the compliance automations that keep these programs running at scale.
• Write clear, structured reports that communicate findings to internal and external stakeholders.
• Contribute to internal training by sharing typologies, red flags, and case learnings — and help drive continuous improvement in monitoring quality and efficiency.
• Stay current on regulatory developments, enforcement actions, and financial crime trends affecting crypto/onchain businesses.

Qualifications

• Genuine curiosity about how blockchains work — not just conceptually, but mechanically.
• Analytical mindset: able to identify patterns, connect disparate data points, and ask the right questions.
• Attention to detail combined with the ability to see the bigger picture.
• Strong written communication: you can make complex findings readable.
• Takes ownership and runs without waiting to be asked.

Requirements

• Experience with blockchain analytics tools and explorers (e.g. Nansen, Etherscan, Chainalysis, Elliptic) - nice to have.
• Familiarity with AML frameworks or financial crime compliance - nice to have.
• SQL or Python skills - nice to have.
• Prior exposure to DeFi protocols, wallets, or exchange flows - nice to have.
• New graduates welcome.
• A degree in artificial intelligence, blockchain, cybersecurity, finance, accounting, economics, business, or a related field is a plus.
• Sharp, curious, and eager to learn fast from inside a crypto-native AI company.

Benefits

• Competitive salary. Meaningful equity. Real ownership in what you build.
• Fully remote with two no-meeting days a week — because deep work doesn't happen in a Google Meet.
• Annual company retreat and team off-sites in one of our offices: Singapore, Bangkok, London, and Oslo — flights and accommodation covered.
• Unlimited AI tokens — Claude, OpenAI, whatever helps you move fast.
• Your own OpenClaw for work.
• Nansen Pro account — full access to the most detailed onchain data in the market.
• A team that started as data engineers and data scientists, now 80+ builders. Your craft is respected here.
• Speed, ownership, curiosity, courage. These aren't values on a wall — they're how we run.
• A front-row seat — and a hand in building — the next chapter of finance.
• Work visa sponsorship is not provided for this role.
