Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Chainalysis is a blockchain data platform focused on building trust in cryptocurrencies. They are seeking a Software Engineer II to join their Government Systems team, responsible for developing software that packages, delivers, and manages Chainalysis Reactor for government and high-security customers.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop the software installer — a Go-based CLI that automates provisioning, manifest rendering, image bundling, and end-to-end deployment of Reactor to customer environments, including fully air-gapped networks
- Build and maintain the blockchain data delivery pipeline — the Java services that package blockchain data in the cloud, deliver it to customer sites, and unpack it for ingestion into the on-premises system
- Extend and improve the Admin Portal — a React-based web UI backed by a Node.js server that enables customers to manage users, roles, permissions, and monitor system health on their on-premises installation
- Develop infrastructure as code (Terraform) to provision and manage the AWS-based environments used for development, acceptance testing, and data delivery
- Collaborate with product service teams to integrate their applications into the on-prem deployment platform, defining deployment configurations, resolving environment-specific issues, and designing multi-tenancy capabilities that ensure secure isolation between tenants
- Support FedRAMP compliance requirements by designing audit logging, RBAC policies, package signing, and security hardening into the platform — writing well-tested, well-documented code with unit tests, integration tests, and CI-driven quality gates across Go, Java, and JavaScript
Skills
- Proficiency in Java, JavaScript, Go, and Bash for building production software — services, systems-level code, and CLI tools
- Strong working knowledge of Kubernetes — deployments, networking, storage, Helm, and troubleshooting workloads in production
- Comfort working across the stack — from backend data pipelines to a React-based admin UI when needed
- Experience with infrastructure as code, particularly Terraform
- Solid Linux fundamentals (RHEL or similar — networking, storage, process management)
- A strong sense of ownership and effective cross-team collaboration — you write code you're proud to operate, think about failure modes before they happen, and work alongside product engineers who consume the platform and tooling you build
- US Citizenship due to applicable government operating requirements
- Experience building custom Kubernetes operators (Operator SDK or controller-runtime), or with air-gapped and disconnected deployment strategies, OCI registries, and image mirroring
- Experience with data delivery systems — packaging, signing, distributing, and verifying large datasets or software artifacts — and familiarity with Kafka or other event streaming platforms
- Exposure to compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP and their implications for software design (audit logging, RBAC, encryption at rest), or experience designing multi-tenant architecture for secure isolation within shared infrastructure
- Familiarity with React or frontend frameworks for admin tooling, PostgreSQL in production, GitOps tooling (Flux CD, Kustomize, Helm), or interest in the cryptocurrency technology ecosystem
