Job Title: Solutions Architect
Location: Northern Virginia / Chantilly, VA (Onsite Focus)
Clearance: TS/SCI (with Full Scope Polygraph strongly preferred)
About Chainalysis Government Solutions
Chainalysis Government Solutions (CGS) is a wholly-owned Chainalysis subsidiary providing
blockchain intelligence solutions—including technology, training, and services—to law
enforcement, defense, and national security customers across the U.S. Government.
As a Solutions Architect, you will serve as a trusted technical advisor for our most sensitive
national security accounts. You will bridge the gap between complex blockchain data and
mission-critical objectives, building custom solutions that support the deployment and
integration of our projects within highly secure, classified environments.
In this role, you’ll:
● Drive the Technical Win: Lead customer-facing technical discussions and architectural
design to align Chainalysis capabilities with specific national security mission sets.
● Operate with High Autonomy: Proactively identify, develop, and demonstrate custom
solutions and integrations with minimal supervision, frequently acting as the primary
technical representative on-site.
● Bridge Classified Environments: Effectively collaborate across different security
domains, translating mission requirements from classified environments to our uncleared
engineering teams to influence product roadmaps.
● Enable the Mission: Provide on-site enablement, technical integration support, and
use-case demonstrations within customer facilities in Chantilly, VA, Southern
Maryland, and the greater DC metropolitan area.
● Architect Complex Systems: Provide guidance on technical challenges ranging from
high-level architecture to specific code implementation (Python/SQL).
● Maintain Operational Access: Ensure consistent engagement with customer/classified
systems to maintain active access and operational readiness.
● Build Partnerships: Partner with Sales and Account teams to identify new business
opportunities and expand our footprint within the national security space.
We’re looking for candidates who have:
● Active Security Clearance: A current U.S. Government TS/SCI is required; polygraph
is highly preferred.
, ● National Security Experience: Proven experience working within the national security,
with a firm understanding of the unique operational constraints of classified work.
● Geographic Availability: Must be based in the D.C. Metro area and comfortable with
frequent on-site visits to Chantilly, VA, Southern Maryland, and the greater DC
metropolitan area.
● Technical Proficiency: Strong hands-on experience with Python and SQL is highly
desired.
● Exceptional Communication: A mastery of "technical diplomacy"—the ability to listen
actively, negotiate complex requirements, and convey technical concepts with empathy
and integrity to stakeholders.
● Independence: A self-starter mindset with the ability to conduct solo client visits,
perform deep-dive technical discovery, and manage projects from inception to
completion.
Nice to have:
● Crypto Expertise: Understanding of cryptocurrency ecosystems (mining, DeFi, smart
contracts, tracing).
● Advanced Tech: Experience with Generative AI or Open Source Intelligence (OSINT).
● Certifications: Specialized finance or security certifications such as CAMS, CCAS,
CGSS, or CFE.
● Policy Knowledge: Familiarity with relevant government oversight policies, procedures,
and security requirements.
● Development: Full-stack development experience or a background in data science.
