About This Role
Solidus Labs builds the real-time trade surveillance and transaction monitoring infrastructure that regulators, exchanges, and crypto-native institutions rely on to catch bad actors before they cause damage. As Tech Lead for our Algorithms team, you'll take ownership of the Transaction Monitoring detection engine—the core logic that flags suspicious activity across traditional assets, prediction markets, and distributed ledger ecosystems. This is a rare opportunity to shape mission-critical algorithms at the intersection of finance, blockchain, and compliance technology.
What You'll Be Doing
Lead the design and evolution of Transaction Monitoring detection algorithms used to surface illicit activity across crypto, DeFi, and traditional markets
Architect scalable, high-performance systems capable of processing blockchain and off-chain transaction data in near real-time
Partner closely with compliance, product, and data science teams to translate regulatory requirements into robust algorithmic logic
Mentor and guide engineers on best practices for building detection systems that are both accurate and resilient
Drive technical strategy for extending TM capabilities into new asset classes, including emerging web3 and smart contract-based instruments
Continuously refine detection models to reduce false positives while improving coverage against evolving financial crime typologies
What We're Looking For
Proven experience leading engineering teams building complex, data-intensive detection or monitoring systems
Strong hands-on background in algorithm design, with comfort working across distributed systems and large-scale data pipelines
Solid understanding of financial markets, transaction monitoring, or AML/compliance domains
Familiarity with blockchain fundamentals and how crypto transactions differ from traditional settlement rails
Excellent communication skills—able to translate technical nuance for compliance and regulatory stakeholders
A builder's mindset, comfortable owning ambiguous problems and driving them to production-grade solutions
Bonus Points
Direct experience with smart contracts, DeFi protocols, or on-chain analytics
Background working at a crypto exchange, custodian, or RegTech company
Exposure to machine learning techniques applied to fraud or anomaly detection
Familiarity with regulatory frameworks spanning both traditional and digital asset markets
Why Join Us
Competitive compensation package with meaningful equity upside
A flexible, high-trust culture that values outcomes over hours logged
Direct impact on the integrity and safety of global crypto and traditional markets
Opportunity to work alongside a team of domain experts at the forefront of blockchain compliance innovation
