Full Stack Engineer - Intelligence

About the Role As an engineer in our Collection Engineering team, you'll build the tools and platform that power Elliptic's intelligence operation, the engine behind a product used by law enforcement, regulators, and the world's largest financial institutions to fight crypto crime. Intelligence flows into Elliptic from everywhere. All of it needs to be ingested, classified, stored, and reviewed before it can reach our proprietary graph database, the system at the heart of our market-leading products. Our team owns that pipeline end to end. Working alongside data scientists, analysts and researchers, you'll help design and build the services and tooling that scale the collection effort, remove bottlenecks, and free our intelligence team to focus on the work only humans can do. Your work will get stolen funds traced, ransomware actors identified, and sanctions enforcement enabled. Few engineering roles connect code and consequence so clearly.
