Knowledge of blockchain data structures, networking principles, Layer 1/Layer 2, and interoperability protocols.
Experience designing and integrating RESTful APIs, OpenAPI specifications, and cloud‑based architectures.
Familiarity with IT and security protocols (TLS/SSL) and experience with data compliance, governance, and auditability.
Proficiency in SQL and comfort with data-visualisation or observability tools (e.g., Datadog, Kibana).
Exceptional storytelling and presentation capability — confident, engaging both technical and executive audiences.
Skilled at breaking down complexity and articulating clear, outcome‑focused solutions.
Collaborative and empathetic communicator who earns trust across disciplines and cultures.
Commercially astute, balancing customer needs with business priorities to deliver strategic wins.
Natural problem‑solver who thrives in ambiguity and finds creative, logical paths forward.
Entrepreneurial mindset — proactive, self‑directed, and motivated to elevate those around you.
Ability and willingness to undergo the U.S. government security‑clearance process (TS/SCI).

Nice To Haves

Relevant certifications (CISSP, CCSP, AWS Security) are a plus, though proven practical impact matters most.
Understanding of payments, compliance, AML, and cryptocurrency ecosystems is highly advantageous.

Advise enterprise clients on risk, compliance, investigations, cyber‑threat intelligence, and digital‑asset management solutions.
Lead discovery and solution‑design sessions, translating business goals, compliance requirements, and system architectures into tailored Elliptic solutions.

Partner with regional commercial teams — Sales, Customer Success, GPRG, Intelligence, and Product Management — to guide customers through evaluation, onboarding, and adoption.
Bridge commercial and technical leadership by capturing and prioritising customer insights that inform product features, integrations, and go‑to‑market strategy.
