Investigations Analyst 

About Us: Inca Digital is a veteran-owned data and intelligence company specializing in digital-asset analytics for exchanges, financial institutions, regulators, and blockchain ecosystems. Our technology and expertise provide clarity across crypto markets, tracking blockchain transactions, liquidity movements, and illicit finance, helping clients identify risk, enhance transparency, and improve decision-making. Inca’s infrastructure fuses structured and unstructured data from blockchains, exchanges, social networks, and financial markets. The result is a powerful analytics engine that supports ecosystem monitoring, market surveillance, and counter–illicit finance intelligence across digital-asset networks. Inca operates as a fast paced, nimble, global, and remote technology company. We leverage an asynchronous‑first workflow, try to minimize time spent on meetings, believe in open‑debate and logic over authority. Work alongside some of the sharpest minds in the world, including intelligence analysts, defense veterans, data engineers, quant researchers, linguists, and more. 

Role Overview: Join Inca’s Investigations Team as a front-line digital detective. In this role, you will bridge the gap between blockchain forensics and traditional intelligence tradecraft to uncover hidden patterns in global crypto activity. You will be responsible for hunting illicit finance, attributing digital identities to real-world actors, and transforming non-standard datasets into defensible intelligence. We are looking for a relentless problem-solver who can navigate the 'noise' of unstructured data to deliver actionable insights that protect our clients and the broader digital-asset ecosystem. 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct in-depth blockchain investigations across multiple networks, tracing transactions, identifying patterns, and attributing activity where possible.
  • Perform open-source intelligence (OSINT) investigations using a wide range of public and proprietary data sources to support attribution, risk assessment, and case development.
  • Collect and normalize data from blockchain explorers, APIs, public datasets, OSINT sources, and internal systems. 
  • Analyze non-standard, incomplete, and multi-source datasets to identify behavioral patterns, risk indicators, and investigative leads. 
  • Conduct Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) on entities, wallets, and counterparties to assess risk exposure and identify potential illicit activity.
  • Build reusable scripts, queries, dashboards, and data workflows for investigation, enrichment, monitoring, and reporting. 
  • Produce clear, concise, and defensible intelligence reports summarizing findings, methodologies, and risk assessments for internal and external stakeholders.

Required Qualifications:

  • Blockchain Expertise: Strong working knowledge of blockchain data structures and transaction behavior, including wallet/account models, token transfers, smart contract interactions, DEX activity, bridges, and differences between major blockchain ecosystems, understanding of EVM and non-EVM smart contracts. 
  • OSINT Investigation Skills: Proven experience conducting open-source intelligence investigations, including data collection, validation, attribution techniques, and linking digital identities across platforms.
  • Data Analysis & Handling Large Datasets: Experience working with large datasets (structured and unstructured), including filtering, aggregation, and extracting meaningful insights.
  • Web Scraping & Data Collection: Practical experience with web scraping techniques and tools for extracting data from online sources; familiarity with automation workflows is highly preferred.
  • Technical Proficiency: Working knowledge of scripting or data tools (e.g., Python, SQL, or similar) to support data extraction, transformation, and analysis.
  • Research & Source Evaluation: Ability to assess the credibility of sources, cross-verify information, and distinguish signal from noise in OSINT environments.
  • Reporting & Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex findings clearly and defensibly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
