Joblaze insights
Quick facts
From the original posting
As a Global Investigator on the triage team, you will be the first line of operational defense in a fast-moving crypto disruption pipeline. You will process inbound complaint data, validate outputs from our artificial-intelligence (AI) investigation platform, and route cases into the investigative pipelines that result in frozen scam proceeds and seized assets. You will hold the disposition pen: your call is what turns a complaint into a freeze, a takedown, a recovery handoff, a legal-process draft, a victim notification, or a close.
The impact you will have:
Validate and route hundreds of complaint dispositions per week, feeding a live asset-recovery pipeline.
Catch the AI errors that matter, such as false positives, merged syndicates, and misclassified scam patterns, before they propagate downstream.
Enrich complaint selectors using a stack of more than forty commercial data-source integrations.
Take the highest-priority complaints beyond disposition: trace funds through consolidation wallets to regulated exchanges or other actionable endpoints
Own clean shift handoffs so the around-the-clock operation never drops a lead, providing EMEA-hours coverage that keeps the queue moving while colleagues in other regions are offline.
What we’re looking for:
4 or more years of investigative or analytical experience in the public or private sector, including hands-on blockchain analysis.
Demonstrated experience tracing funds across chains and attributing addresses to real-world actors, including the judgment to tell an unattributed service from a privately controlled (unhosted) wallet
Experience building or contributing to cases that led to a freeze, seizure, arrest, or takedown.
Strong AI fluency, meaning comfort using AI tools as a daily co-pilot, plus the judgment to know when they are wrong.
Comfort operating in a fast-paced, fluid environment where the project's scope and emphasis may shift quarter to quarter.
Strong written and verbal communication.
