Senior Investigation Analyst

Responsibilities

• Investigate insider trading, coordinated wallet activity, spoofing, and other market integrity matters from initial signal through a documented, defensible finding.
• Trace wallets, funding flows, and transaction history using tools such as Chainalysis to identify coordination and test hypotheses.
• Review spoofing, layering, and related order-book manipulation using trade-surveillance tooling (e.g., Eventus/Validus) alongside on-chain evidence.
• Evaluate and respond to subpoenas and legal process, assessing risk and sensitivity and meeting binding deadlines.
• Write investigative reports and findings that hold up to scrutiny from leadership, law enforcement, or outside counsel.
• Stay current on manipulation and fraud patterns as prediction markets and the underlying blockchain ecosystem evolve.

Requirements

• 5–7+ years of investigative experience in trade surveillance, market structure or regulation, blockchain forensics, financial crimes, law enforcement, or a comparable field involving building cases from ambiguous evidence.
• Working knowledge of order-book mechanics and manipulation typologies (spoofing, layering, wash trading), or blockchain analysis and on-chain typologies — ideally both.
• Direct experience with blockchain analysis tools (e.g., Chainalysis, TRM Labs, Elliptic) or trade-surveillance platforms (e.g., Eventus/Validus, Nasdaq SMARTS).
• A track record of building a case from limited initial indicators and documenting it clearly enough to act on.
• Sound judgment evaluating and responding to legal and regulatory requests under real deadlines.
• Genuine comfort with ambiguity — a meaningful share of what you'll investigate won't map to a category that already exists.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with prediction markets or other crypto-native platforms.
• SQL or Python, used to test your own hypotheses against trade or on-chain data.
• Prior experience serving as a point of contact for law enforcement or regulators.
