Elliptic is a provider of enterprise-grade blockchain analytics and crypto compliance software that helps financial institutions, exchanges, network operators, regulators, and law enforcement detect, investigate, and manage crypto-related financial crime and regulatory risk. Its products include VASP/entity screening, wallet and transaction monitoring, cross-chain investigations, threat intelligence, stablecoin issuer and ecosystem monitoring, and data ingestion and API integrations. Elliptic also offers training and certifications to upskill compliance and forensic teams and delivers its services as configurable, scalable SaaS and API solutions for compliance, surveillance, and forensic workflows.

📋 Description

• Design and build robust, high-throughput backend services supporting real-time risk scoring, screening, and continuous monitoring workflows. • Work closely with data engineering teammates to deliver personalised intelligence to our customers, enabling unique, customer-specific views of the blockchain. • Contribute to world-class sanctions reporting infrastructure that compliance teams and regulators depend on. • Help scale the system to support Elliptic's growing enterprise customer base, identifying and resolving performance and reliability bottlenecks. • Take ownership of technically complex areas, driving architecture and implementation decisions with sound trade-off reasoning. • Review code, raise the technical quality of the team, and mentor engineers where appropriate. • Collaborate with product, data, and engineering stakeholders to translate compliance requirements into well-designed, maintainable systems.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production backend systems. • Strong TypeScript/Node.js experience, with the ability to write clean, well-tested, production-ready code. • Proven experience working with complex event-driven, streaming, or queue-backed architectures (e.g. Kinesis, Kafka, SQS, or similar) in a production environment. • Solid understanding of distributed systems trade-offs: consistency, availability, latency, and failure modes. • Experience working with NoSQL and caching technologies, with comfort reasoning about data access patterns and performance. • A track record of contributing to technically complex codebases, and the ability to communicate architectural thinking clearly. • AI fluency: you actively use AI tools to accelerate your work, and can demonstrate how you apply them effectively in engineering contexts.
