Director of Engineering

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, the USA and the UK 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 build a flexible platform that will allow us to adapt to those rapid changes
 

Directors of Engineering lead and grow multiple teams in pursuit of a substantial part of our mission
They’re trusted mentors to managers and engineers across the organization and vital partners for Directors of Product, working with them to develop the strategy for the team and the product
They are as comfortable in front of a whiteboard discussing architecture as they are building and measuring OKRs
They would rather make sure the experts in their teams can make decisions effectively, but they’re comfortable with making the big decisions where necessary
We measure success by the retention and engagement of our engineering team, and ultimately delivery against our product roadmap
 

In one year you’ll know you were successful if you have:

• Led and empowered a multi-national organization of Engineering Managers and engineers who are effective and love what they do
  
• Hired exceptional managers and senior engineers to grow your team(s) with a focus on diversity, scalability, and always raising the bar
  
• Built relationships with the Product Management team based on credibility and candor that result in lofty goals, clear objectives, and confidence that you’ll meet them
  Worked with PMs and your team to set clear objectives and meet them
  
• Cultivated strong relationships with colleagues across the company, including the People team, Sales and Customer Success
  
• Work with the VP, Engineering to identify and put into place substantial improvements to the way we work across the whole team
  

A background like this helps: 

• You can point to scalable organizations you’ve built who have delivered great products and systems
  
• You want to work in a fast-paced, high growth startup
  
• Experience hiring managers and senior engineers and working closely with Recruiting Leads as a team
  
• Collaborative and a servant leader
  
• A software or data engineering background
  
• Have an interest in cryptocurrencies or a desire to learn – we can help!
