  • Apply advanced techniques such as demixing (e.g., unraveling mixers and tumblers), pattern recognition, and entity clustering to trace fund flows across multiple blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, etc.).
  • Digest and preprocess large-scale on-chain and off-chain data, integrating AI/ML for anomaly detection and predictive insights.
  • Leverage OSINT tools and techniques to correlate blockchain activity with real-world entities, including social media, public records, and dark web monitoring.
  • Collaborate with clients, law firms, federal law enforcement, and victims to gather requirements, provide updates, and deliver expert testimony or affidavits as needed.
  • Prepare detailed investigative reports, visualizations, and presentations that clearly articulate findings, methodologies, and recommendations for asset recovery or legal action.
  • Stay ahead of emerging threats by monitoring blockchain security trends, evolving criminal tactics, and regulatory developments.
  • Contribute to the enhancement of internal tools and processes, including feedback on Sherlock's AI features for improved investigative efficiency.

  • Proficiency in blockchain tracing tools (e.g., Chainalysis Reactor, TRM Labs, Elliptic Investigator, or similar) and OSINT platforms (e.g., Maltego, SpiderFoot).
  • Strong understanding of blockchain protocols, smart contracts, transaction analysis, and obfuscation techniques like mixers or cross-chain bridges.
  • Experience with data analysis tools (e.g., Python, SQL, graph databases like Neo4j) for pattern recognition and demixing.
  • Proven track record of working with law enforcement, legal teams, or clients in high-stakes investigations, including report writing and presentations.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to handle sensitive interactions professionally and empathetically.
  • Knowledge of AML/KYC regulations, sanctions compliance, and crypto-specific threats like DeFi exploits or NFT scams.
  • *Nice-to-Have Skills
  • Certifications such as Certified Cryptocurrency Investigator (CCI), Chainalysis Reactor Certification, or similar.
  • Background in law enforcement, intelligence analysis, or forensic accounting.
  • Familiarity with AI/ML applications in blockchain forensics, including anomaly detection or predictive modeling.
