Remote Cryptocurrency Advisor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Description of Tasks to be Performed:    

As the Senior Cryptocurrency Engineer, you will serve as the primary technical authority for blockchain analysis, digital‑asset tracing, cyber‑enabled financial investigations, and cryptocurrency‑related criminal cases. You will apply your advanced analytical expertise and subject‑matter knowledge to evaluate complex blockchain ecosystems, decentralized‑finance platforms, and illicit‑finance activity.

Within your mission team, you will lead the technical direction of blockchain and digital‑asset investigations, working alongside forensic SMEs and developers to integrate cryptocurrency intelligence into broader investigative and cyber‑operations workflows.

You will design and build investigative tools, perform high‑confidence tracing operations, and assess emerging payment technologies to identify criminal exploitation patterns. You will advise investigators and mission partners on blockchain artifacts, digital‑asset seizure procedures, and proper chain‑of‑custody for decentralized evidence.

Drawing on your substantial experience, you will independently plan and execute technical goals, shape analytic and investigative strategy, and provide mentorship or guidance to others when needed.

Applicants who do not currently reside within commuting distance to these locations should describe how they would satisfy any onsite requirements.
