About the role

Staff Engineer — ChainPatrol ChainPatrol is a real-time security platform protecting leading crypto and fintech organizations from phishing attacks and impersonation. Our AI engine automates threat detection and takedown across a growing network of integrations. We've grown 4x over the past year, serving customers like Coinbase, Polymarket, Consensys, Phantom, MoonPay, and Arbitrum. Now we're expanding into new verticals — Fintech, Banking, and Tech — and we're looking for a Staff Engineer who builds like a team of ten.

Why This Role Is Differen tYou'll build something people actually need. Billions are stolen through phishing every year. The code you ship directly stops that.

We've built a development pipeline where great engineers ship weeks of work in days. If you've figured out how to wield AI agents as force multipliers and not just autocomplete, you'll feel at home immediately .Greenfield with guardrails. You're not inheriting a legacy codebase and a backlog of tech debt nightmares. We have a working product and strong architectural foundations — and real problems worth solving at the next level .Work with a team that's already shipping. You're joining a group of 5 engineers who move fast and have high standards. You'll have experienced collaborators, not just a blank slate .Real comp upside. Competitive salary + early-stage equity in a market that's expanding fast
