[Hiring] Senior Security Engineer, Infrastructure @Chainalysis

Role Description

As a Senior Security Engineer, Infrastructure, you’ll help secure and operate the cloud and Kubernetes environments that support Chainalysis products and our Hosted AI Platform (HAIP). You’ll combine production operations with practical security engineering:

• Troubleshoot Kubernetes workloads and cloud services, investigating pod health, logs, errors, latency, and upstream provider issues to find root causes.
• Ship reviewed Terraform and Kubernetes changes that strengthen HAIP and broader cloud infrastructure security and reliability.
• Improve AWS and edge/network controls—including IAM, networking, secrets, encryption, logging, and Cloudflare—and reduce recurring misconfigurations through reusable patterns and runbooks.
• Use Python or similar scripting, monitoring improvements, and cross-team partnership to automate operational work and drive fixes through to completion.
• Participate in the AI Product on-call rotation, triage production alerts, communicate clearly, and escalate when needed.

Qualifications

• Production cloud infrastructure experience, preferably in AWS, plus working knowledge of security controls such as IAM, networking, secrets, encryption, or logging.
• Hands-on production Kubernetes experience: inspect workloads, read logs, and troubleshoot failures using command-line tools.
• Experience authoring Terraform changes that have been reviewed and deployed to production; comfort shipping changes through Git and pull requests.
• Production on-call or incident-response experience, including alert investigation, clear communication, and sound escalation judgment.
• Python or similar scripting ability, familiarity with monitoring/logging tools.
• Experience working with stakeholders across the R&D organization to collaborate and resolve security issues with urgency and a team-first approach.

Requirements

• Experience operating AI/ML infrastructure, LLM platforms, or services integrating with model providers; familiarity with AI gateway concepts such as model routing or quotas.
• Experience with Cloudflare or other edge/network security controls.
• Exposure to cloud security posture management tools such as Wiz, Prisma Cloud, or Orca.
• Experience with GitOps tools such as Argo CD or Flux.
• Familiarity with blockchain, crypto, fintech, or regtech infrastructure.

Benefits

• AI is not a feature at Chainalysis - it is a new way of working.
• We provide the tools, workflows, and space to experiment.
• Expect to develop capabilities, bring ideas, and collaborate across teams.
