## About the role

We turn raw on-chain activity into trustworthy intelligence — clustering addresses into real-world entities, attributing them to services and actors, and surfacing risk for compliance and investigations teams. We're looking for a data scientist who is as comfortable shipping a heuristic to production as they are designing it: someone who can move from a messy hypothesis to a working pipeline without waiting on someone else to wire up the data.

## What they're looking for

- 4+ years building data science or data engineering systems that actually shipped (not just notebooks)
- Strong Python and SQL, comfortable with large datasets and the gotchas of joins, dedup, and skew at scale
- Solid grasp of clustering, graph/network analysis, or entity resolution — and a habit of validating results, not just producing them
- Ability to reason about precision vs. coverage trade-offs and defend your metrics
- Self-directed: you can scope an ambiguous problem, get the data yourself, and drive it to a result
