Engineering Manager, Developer Productivity
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 the UK, Denmark, and the USA 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.
Our Engineering Manager, Developer Productivity, will help to build a highly skilled team that thrives on making the whole engineering team more effective. Whether it’s tools to make operating code in production easier, managing foundational shared services or education on AWS, the team is guided by the question - how do we help our colleagues get more done? They’ll work closely with our embedded Infrastructure engineers and our Security Engineering teams to understand the goals of the larger organization and to make sure that projects are successful.

- Reduced the barrier for every engineer at Chainalysis to operate their code in production.
- Built a common CI/CD platform that teams use to deploy their infrastructure and code without manual steps.
- Enabled Chainalysis to continually increase compliance and security standards whilst minimizing the burden on engineering teams.

- Collaborative and a servant leader.
