The engineering team at Chainalysis is inspired by solving the hardest technical challenges and creating products that build trust in cryptocurrencies. We’re a global organization with teams in Denmark, UK, Canada, the USA who thrive on the challenging work we do and doing it with other exceptionally talented teammates. Our industry changes every day and our job is to create user facing products supported by a flexible and scalable data platform allowing us to adapt to those rapid changes and bring value to our customers.

Platform Engineering at Chainalysis provides the shared infrastructure, tooling, and developer experience layer that powers every engineering team. We are currently moving from localized infrastructure ownership to consolidated, scalable platform patterns to meet global growth. Our mission is to provide the foundation that allows our developers to navigate blockchain data safely and with confidence.

We are hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a team of ~6 engineers focused on making our software delivery faster and safer. You will oversee delivery pipelines, developer tooling, and the safe integration of AI-assisted development into our production workflows. This is a high-leverage leadership role for a former individual contributor who excels at driving organizational change and technical adoption.

In this role, you’ll:

• Lead and grow a distributed team of platform engineers, hiring strategically as the team scales.

• Establish and measure key performance metrics (such as DORA) to track improvements in deployment frequency and release confidence.

• Define the strategy for AI in the SDLC, setting quality gates and guardrails for AI-assisted code.

• Participate in an incident-commander rota to ensure operational health and a sustainable team burden.

We’re looking for candidates who have:

• Demonstrated experience managing DevX, Platform, or Infrastructure teams for internal customers.

• A strong background in hands-on software engineering prior to moving into management.

• A proven track record of attracting, developing, and retaining high-performing engineering talent.

• Experience measuring and improving software delivery using DORA metrics or similar frameworks.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority.

Nice to have experience:

• Conceptual understanding of cloud-native ecosystems and architectural trade-offs.

• Experience with modern CI/CD patterns such as Git Ops, Argo, or Flux.

• Interest in the emerging security and quality considerations surrounding AI-generated code.

• Experience managing distributed teams across multiple time zones.

Technologies we use:
