8+ years of experience selling SaaS products into Canadian federal agencies, or 4+ years accompanied by deep domain expertise and mission knowledge within Canada’s National Security ecosystem
Strong knowledge of Canada’s National Security landscape (e.g., defence, intelligence, public safety, financial crime enforcement) and how agencies operate and procure technology
Experience navigating Canadian federal procurement processes and security requirements
Ability to obtain and maintain required Canadian security clearance
Strong customer-facing presentation and listening skills with the ability to establish credibility with senior government and security leaders
Familiarity with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulatory frameworks

The AI Customer Success function is being built from the ground up, and this role will help define it internationally. As the first Customer Success Manager in this area, you will own the end-to-end post-sale experience for a portfolio of customers that includes some of the world’s most sophisticated cyber threat intelligence teams and investigators, national security agencies, and financial crime teams. Your mandate is not just to manage accounts—you will help establish the playbook, define what success looks like, and drive a product-led growth motion that turns new customers into long-term, expanding partners.
Build and ship a v1 onboarding playbook within the first 30 days—a practical, working version built from early customer engagements that can be iterated as you learn what drives adoption across international customer segments.
Use AI to build production CS workflows that pull from ChurnZero, Salesforce, Gong, and product usage telemetry to auto-generate account health summaries and QBR drafts—compressing hours of reporting preparation into minutes so you can spend your time on the work that actually requires human judgment.
Define and track adoption benchmarks across the portfolio—hands-on-keyboard usage, consumption rates, and account-specific success metrics—and surface at-risk accounts before renewal decisions are made.
Identify and scope the highest-impact PLG play within 60 days by working backwards from expansion targets, focusing on the one or two use cases most likely to drive consumption across the customer base.
Run executive business reviews and QBRs with senior stakeholders at government agencies and financial institutions internationally—building the trust and credibility that turns TRM from a vendor into a mission-critical partner.
Partner with ADs on expansion plays, co-own NRR targets, and build the structured path to proving value for every customer with an expiring or at-risk contract.
Close the feedback loop between customers and Product—synthesize adoption blockers, feature gaps, and new use-case opportunities into prioritized, actionable input that informs the roadmap.
Design the CS infrastructure and tooling stack that scales as the product grows—you are building the foundation the next CSM hire will inherit.
Background in cyber or cyber threat intelligence, intelligence agencies, financial crime investigations, or regulatory and compliance environments.
5+ years as an onboarding engineer, customer success manager, deployment strategist, or in another post-sale role with proven ownership of NRR, GRR, and expansion metrics—you have the track record, not just the title.
Domain credibility in cyber, national security, or financial crime—you can walk into a room of investigators and earn their trust in the first meeting, not the fifth.
Demonstrated zero-to-one builder experience—you have built a CS function, onboarding playbook, or PLG motion from scratch and can point to the specific outcomes it drove.
Production AI fluency—you have built real, repeatable AI workflows, not just experiments, that synthesize data from multiple sources into outputs that run consistently and deliver measurable results. You can show the workflow, explain the data logic, and articulate where human judgment stays in the loop.
A high level of independence—you set your own agenda, operate without needing constant direction, and ship v1 before you have all the answers.
Strong executive presence—you can run a QBR with a senior government stakeholder or financial institution executive and command the room through substance, not just polish.
Experience supporting international customers, with the ability to navigate regional, cultural, and time-zone differences.
This team focuses on TRM’s AI-driven Intel platform, supporting investigators and cyber teams working on complex cases involving cyber threats.
This is the first Customer Success hire dedicated to international customers—you will help build the function from the ground up, with high autonomy, direct access to leadership, and meaningful influence on how TRM approaches customer success globally.
The broader TRM CS organization operates distributed, not distant—async-first communication through Slack, strong documentation, and intentional synchronous time for key decisions.
You will work directly with the Head of Customer Success and Patrick South, CRO, with close day-to-day collaboration with international Sales teams and Product.
As a globally distributed team, members work across multiple time zones. This role will primarily align its working hours and customer coverage with international markets, with flexibility to collaborate across regions when needed.
Our Customer Success team is fully remote, thriving on asynchronous communication and collaboration through Slack channels and detailed documentation. We hold weekly customer syncs, biweekly health syncs, join our associated POD calls, and regularly engage with customers across international markets. As experts in our craft, we focus on providing support, driving value, and building meaningful relationships with our customers as trusted advisors. We are on the front lines of TRM, ensuring our customers get the most out of the product and bringing valuable insights back to the team.
The team moves fast and iterates—v1 ships before it is perfect, and feedback is expected to be direct and specific.
End-to-End Ownership: While there is no formal hourly rotation, you will be the primary lead for your area and responsible for customer success across international markets. This requires a high degree of agency and a commitment to seeing mission-critical tasks through to resolution, including the flexibility to handle urgent needs outside of standard hours or on weekends when they arise.
Within 30 days of joining, you ship a working v1 onboarding playbook built from your first 2–3 accounts—not a slide deck, but a live document with measurable adoption benchmarks that the account team is already using to set customer expectations.
Within 6 weeks, you share a draft success-metrics framework at 50% complete with the account team and key customers to validate direction—getting real signal on what drives credit consumption before investing further in building out the full playbook.
Within 60 days, you identify and scope the highest-impact PLG play by working backwards from expansion targets—presenting a concrete recommendation to leadership on which use case to prioritize and why, grounded in actual account data from international customers.
If you’re interested in joining TRM, we encourage you to apply directly. Every application is reviewed by our Talent team.
Before applying, review the job description carefully and highlight the experience and impact that best demonstrate the required qualifications. Please also provide thoughtful and accurate answers to the application questions, as these will be used to evaluate your qualifications for the role.

TRM Labs is a blockchain intelligence company committed to fighting crime and creating a safer world. By leveraging blockchain data, threat intelligence, and advanced analytics, our products empower governments, financial institutions, and crypto businesses to combat illicit activity and global security threats. At TRM, you'll join a mission-driven, fast-paced team made up of experts in law enforcement, data science, engineering, and financial intelligence, tackling complex global challenges daily.
As a Senior Data Scientist, Attribution, you will be embedded within a specific risk category (e.g., Sanctions, Cybercrime, Counter Terrorism) and own the attribution algorithms that drive direct customer outcomes — from seizing illicit funds to disrupting crypto-enabled crime networks. You'll operate as equal parts Subject Matter Expert and Data Scientist, translating deep domain knowledge into production-grade intelligence.
The impact you'll have here:
Own end-to-end attribution for a risk category: identify high-impact targets, build algorithms (heuristics, ML models, AI agents), and ship to production.
Collaborate tightly with — and become — a Subject Matter Expert for your category, translating customer and GTM needs into actionable intelligence.
Navigate all intelligence layers (Network / On-chain / Protocol) to uncover patterns competitors can't replicate.
Ship production-quality code — heuristics, ML models, and data pipelines — with rigorous evaluation and scalable architecture.
Drive measurable outcomes: billions in illicit funds traced, seized, or prevented.
What we’re looking for:
Quantitative background (Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering, Economics, Physics).
Strong problem-solving mindset: gets to the root cause, leverages creativity, and thrives in ambiguity with a hypothesis-driven, iterative approach.
Demonstrated domain curiosity — ability to absorb and apply expertise in blockchain, fraud, money laundering, or cybercrime.
6+ years in an analytical role with strong SQL, Python, and AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code).

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
TRM Labs is building the global standard for investigations.
We're looking for a Product Marketing Manager who understands that this role is not content production. It's market ownership. Your job is to make TRM the obvious choice for a specific set of buyers. You work closely with a Product Manager and Sales — the PM builds, Sales opens doors, and you make sure buyers arrive already convinced. AI handles the execution. You handle the judgment.
Product marketers at TRM make the category feel like TRM's home turf before a buyer ever talks to anyone.
You'll own the market position for TRM's AI-native investigation platform. Your buyers are investigators and analysts running complex, high-stakes cases where the quality of their tooling directly determines outcomes. Your job is to make TRM the platform they can't imagine working without. That means deep fluency with how government investigations actually run, positioning that speaks to the specific workflow pressures these buyers face, and ownership of the moments where TRM cements its position as the standard.
Deep diving: You know the product at the level where you can demo it as well as anyone in the company. You know where the real value sits and where it breaks down. You're in deal reviews and customer conversations often enough to know what lands, and you can hold a real conversation with both engineering and buyers.
Positioning: You find the wedge: the framing where a prospect chooses TRM every time and asking about the competition sounds like the wrong question. You build the architecture everything hangs from: the claims, the proof, the hierarchy, the words TRM owns. Tight enough that a new hire and a ten-year veteran say the same true thing.
Incepting: The story only works if the company believes it first. You get Sales carrying the message without you in the room, engineers who can explain why what they're building matters, and execs who open deals with the same frame you set. You don't mandate alignment. You create it by making the story so clear and compelling that people want to tell it.
Owning the moment: A tier-one launch, a CEO keynote, the webpage a buyer lands on before they ever take a meeting. These are the moments where TRM either makes an impression or misses one. You own the narrative, the timing, and the outcome. The bar is a defining moment the whole company points to. You don't wait for those. You go make them.
Storytelling. You think in narrative, not slides. You can make something technical matter to a stranger in two sentences. Your stories are grounded in data: win/loss patterns, customer signals, market evidence, because the most persuasive narrative is one that's actually true. You translate the same story across a keynote, a one-pager, and a website without losing what makes it land.
Commercial instincts. You understand what moves a deal, not just what sounds good in a deck. You've been present enough in the sales cycle to know the difference, and you've changed your positioning because of it.
AI builder. You build systems for the team, not just yourself. You've already offloaded the repeatable work to automation: competitive monitoring, content generation, persona synthesis. You spend your time on the judgment calls that actually require you. Walk us through something you built that made the whole team faster.
Judgment. You know what good looks like across the work and you say so when it isn't: a positioning brief that almost works, a website that doesn't land, a design that misses. You hold the standard and give feedback that moves things forward, not feedback that leaves people guessing.
5+ years in product marketing at a B2B SaaS company
You've owned at least two tier-one launches end to end: strategy, narrative, execution, and post-launch measurement
You've owned a website or major digital channel and made content decisions that moved pipeline, not just pageviews
You already use AI to build workflows and systems and can walk through a real example of something you built for your team, not just yourself
Marketers who measure output in assets shipped
Anyone who treats AI as something to explore rather than something already running in their workflow
Candidates whose best examples inherited existing infrastructure. We need builders, not operators of programs someone else built.
TRM's product team doesn't coordinate work. It owns outcomes. Product marketers are embedded in the sales motion, in customer conversations, and in launch decisions. The team is small, the scope is real, and what you ship shows up directly in how deals close and how the market talks about TRM. PMMs here don't wait to be asked. If the standard is slipping somewhere, you say so and help. AI is how we work, not just what we build.
Build an agent that scans the market for opportunities and builds a prototype for new product features that the product management team reviews
Customer needs a product brochure before a meeting. You build something on-brand with the right content and get it to them today, without spinning up a design cycle. Fast and accurate does more for the deal than slow and polished.
Hear the CEO's keynote brief in the morning. Share core message and outline by that afternoon.
Individual pay is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. The compensation details listed in this posting reflect the US base salary only.

Remote-first (US) · Infrastructure Engineering · flexes to Staff for the right builder
In one line
Our team builds the platform that every TRM product, every internal AI agent, and every investigation our customers run depends on. We are not maintaining a system someone else finished - we are building its next generation, on the bleeding edge, for workloads where reliability and security are not negotiable. We're looking for an engineer who has taken infrastructure from zero to one and can operate it in production.
Why this work matters
TRM's platform lets financial institutions and governments trace illicit finance, disrupt crypto- and AI-enabled crime, and run some of the highest-stakes investigations in the world. Our infrastructure is what lets investigators and banks trust the data underneath them. When we get it right, a case moves and a threat gets stopped. When infrastructure is weak, everything above it is slow, fragile, or unsafe. That's the job: make the foundation something the mission can be built on.
What you'll actually work on
This is real, current work - not a hypothetical roadmap:
Multi-region, multi-cloud Kubernetes across US GCP, EU GCP, and AWS GovCloud - making \"stand up another site\" a self-serve configuration instead of a bespoke project.
A genuinely self-serve internal PaaS. ~60+ engineers already deploy on it, the large majority with no infra person in the loop. You extend the paved road - golden paths, guardrails, and interfaces engineers actually enjoy using.
Agent-native infrastructure. Secure sandboxes where AI agents build and ship, and encoding our operational knowledge into skills so the platform increasingly runs and heals itself.
Zero-trust secrets with Vault. Short-lived, dynamic credentials replacing every long-lived secret in the system - closing the blast radius on leaked passwords, one database at a time.
Reliability engineering that means it. SLOs and error budgets, real observability, and disaster recovery with validated cross-region restore and sub-hour RTO.
Databases as a first-class platform concern. Postgres on Kubernetes, migrations, replication, and redundancy for services that can't blink.
Compliance as code. SOC2 and FedRAMP posture built into the platform so security is the default, not a scramble before an audit.
What you'll own
You'll own an Area of Responsibility end to end - a slice of the platform that is genuinely yours. You'll define what \"great\" looks like for it and build the glide path to get there rather than waiting for one; obsess over the metrics that tell you whether it's actually working; and fix root causes so a class of problems disappears instead of working the ticket queue faster. You own the outcome, not just your layer of it.
Who you are
This is a builder's role, and the bar is high:
You've taken infrastructure from zero to one - designed and shipped a platform capability that other engineers came to depend on, not just operated one that already existed.
You write real software (Go, Python, or similar). You build tooling, automation, and services - you don't only wire up other people's tools.
You're deep in GCP and/or AWS - compute, IAM, VPC, networking, storage, load balancing - and comfortable operating across clouds.
You've run Kubernetes in production (GKE/EKS) and are up to date with the state of the art for IaC.
You can debug low-level problems without hand-holding - a networking issue, a saturated node, a slow query, a failing deploy - and get to the actual cause.
You're fluent across the modern platform toolchain: GitOps (Argo/Flux), containers, CI/CD, observability built on SLOs rather than dashboards no one reads.
You have strong instincts for security and databases — zero-trust, secret management, systems hardening; provisioning and migrating production databases. SOC2/FedRAMP exposure is a plus.
If you've built platforms that other engineers rely on every day, we want to talk.
What makes people thrive here
High ownership and low ego. Mission-first. Comfortable where speed and rigor have to coexist - something that takes a quarter elsewhere is expected to move in weeks here, without cutting the corners that matter for security and reliability. You see infra, security, data, and product as one connected system, and you turn one-off fixes into reusable paved roads by instinct.
What should give you pause
The scope is real and the playbook isn't fully written - you'll be writing it. Reliability and compliance expectations are high, and mistakes here show up as real incidents for customers and internal teams. If you prefer an environment where everything is defined before you start, this will feel uncomfortable. If that kind of ownership is exactly what you're after, you'll love it.
How we work
Remote-first (US). Small, high-leverage team with a weekly on-call rotation you'll take part in. We're an AI-native team in practice, not in theory - we use agents in our daily workflow and ship the skills that let the platform operate itself.
If you’re interested in joining TRM, we encourage you to apply directly. Every application is reviewed by our Talent team.

Ruthless Prioritization & Adaptability: We adapt quickly when faced with new information. For example, an engineer may message the PM or EM to prioritize Task A vs. Task B in the middle of the sprint – we don’t let inertia guide our decisions. Instead we focus on ruthless prioritization and pivot quickly as needed.
Challenging Timelines (Execution Pressure): An engineer questions a teammate’s proposed 3-week timeline, and constructively argues for condensing it to 2 weeks—backed by rationale, tradeoffs, and a plan to reduce scope or increase velocity. They show ownership of delivery speed and willingness to push for urgency.
Time-Boxed Spiking (Rapid Learning & Decision-Making): An engineer proposes a 1-week spike with a clear time-box and success criteria to explore implementation options or validate feasibility through a proof of concept. They demonstrate speed not just in execution, but in de-risking decisions early.

The team received a request from customers to show the running balance for assets tied to an address within the product. They brainstormed to determine the minimal viable solution that could be delivered within two weeks. The team decided to develop a framework that would facilitate enabling this feature for each chain (such as BTC, ETH, etc.) individually. They successfully implemented and tested this solution for the BTC chain and delivered it to customers within the two-week timeframe. This approach allowed the team to quickly provide value to customers and establish a repeatable process.
The team was tasked with implementing a new feature that would enable TRM to gather feedback from the user community swiftly. Due to the company's goal of showcasing the feature at an upcoming event, the timeline was tight. The team quickly adjusted to the request, assessed the requirements, and developed a solution that addressed 80% of the needs and could be executed within a very short timeframe. They successfully delivered the feature on schedule, impressing customers with both the functionality and the speed of execution.
The team was tasked with developing a solution to reveal Indirect Exposure through cross-chain swaps in response to a competitor's similar feature. Before choosing the technical approach, the team consulted with stakeholders to establish a feasible timeline for the implementation. With this input, the team devised a solution that fit the timeline, communicated the tradeoffs to stakeholders, and successfully delivered the solution as promised.

We're looking for a Head of Product Design who understands that this role is not coordination. It's craft and talent, at scale, and it's a player-coach role: you'll still be doing design work yourself, not just running the team that does it. Your job will be to build a design organization with a real point of view: how design should run day to day, how it drives product and business outcomes, and how it leads both humans and AI agents toward better decisions. AI is a genuine collaborator here, not a curiosity, and it's the differentiator we want the industry to notice — but it sits on top of strong design fundamentals, not in place of them. You'll lead five designers today, and you'll be the reason that team, and what it produces, keeps compounding.
Design at TRM doesn't wait for a brief. It shapes what gets built, sits inside product decisions from the first sketch, and sets a bar the rest of the industry watches.
Make TRM's product design team known as an agentic powerhouse, internally and across the industry
Make design's day-to-day impact visible across the company, not just at launch
Attract, hire, and develop top design talent, with real attention to each designer's individual growth, not just team output
Set and manage team priorities, coordinating resources across the product portfolio
Be a thought leader in agentic design, both internally and externally
Recruiting: You'll know what great design talent looks like before it shows up on a resume, and you'll know it isn't always \"10 years in Figma.\" You'll build the bench, not inherit it: sourcing, closing, onboarding, and coaching designers who are good into designers who are great. You'll also make the hard calls when someone on the team isn't leveling up.
Prioritizing: A product design team's biggest risk is spending its best people on the wrong thing, not bad taste. You'll set priorities across competing pods and defend them, even when a stakeholder pushes back. Resourcing decisions will be yours to make, and yours to be accountable for.
Directing humans and agents: You have a point of view on how design should run: process, craft, and how decisions tie to business outcomes. AI layers on top of that, not in place of it — you'll be in the file yourself, not directing from the sidelines. TRM's product increasingly means an agent doing the work, so you're defining how a human trusts it.
Evangelizing: Design's value doesn't stay invisible. You'll make sure Sales, Engineering, and the exec team see what design actually produces day to day, not just at launch: the decisions it improves, the deals it helps close, the problems it heads off before they reach a customer. Externally, you'll represent TRM's point of view on agentic design in talks, in writing, in the design community.
Player-coach. You still design, not just direct design. Point to something you personally shipped last week: a flow you built, a scrappy prototype that settled a real decision fast, or feedback you gave directly in the file rather than in a review meeting.
People leadership. You've built or grown a successful product design team before, not just managed one you inherited, and you've run a team against more demand than headcount, making real trade-offs when priorities required it. You manage designers as individuals, not a collective — you know their growth areas, and you can point to one whose performance changed because of something you did.
Taste. You know what good looks like across visual design, interaction design, and systems thinking, and you can explain why something is wrong in a sentence a designer can act on. You're not precious about your own past decisions. You kill work that doesn't clear the bar, including your own.
Agentic fluency. AI already does real work in your process, not just your team's: prototyping, critique, production, and the skills or plugins you've built and shipped to get there. You can walk us through a workflow you've actually built.
7+ years as a practicing product designer, including 3+ years directly managing a design team
Has built or grown a successful product design team at a B2B SaaS company: hiring, developing, and retaining designers, not just inheriting a roster
Already designs with AI tools as part of a real workflow (prototyping, critique, or production) and can demo it
Experience designing product surfaces where AI or automation does real work on a user's behalf, or a clear point of view on how that design problem differs from traditional UI design
Design leaders who've stopped producing design work themselves and only review, direct, or approve it
Design leaders who measure success in screens shipped or design-system components maintained
Anyone who treats AI as a mood board tool rather than something already load-bearing in how their team works
Leaders who've only managed process (roadmaps, rituals, standups) without a track record of raising the craft bar themselves
You'll report directly to the VP of Product and lead a team of five product designers. Product Design sits alongside Product Management, Product Marketing, and TRM Academy inside the Product org. You'll partner closely with PM and PMM pods, embedded in the same discovery and launch cycles they run, and work just as directly with Sales, Customer Success, and Engineering, so design moves at the same speed as the rest of the team.
A stakeholder needs competing concepts by end of day. Instead of assigning it and waiting until tomorrow, you'll generate three AI-assisted concept variants yourself within the hour, then hand your team the sharpest one to refine.
Two designers on different pods independently solve the same interaction problem two different ways. You'll catch it, and by the end of the week there'll be one documented pattern in the design system with both flows updated.
A candidate doesn't have a conventional 10-year portfolio, but ships full working prototypes with AI tooling faster than most senior designers ship static mockups. You'll make the offer that week.

At TRM, writing code can literally save lives. Our platform helps governments, financial institutions, and crypto companies detect and prevent financial crime — from terrorist financing to human trafficking. The Full-Stack Product Engineering team builds the core products and services that make this possible, from customer-facing applications to foundational APIs and internal tools. We’re looking for an early-career engineer who’s eager to grow quickly by shipping real-world features and contributing directly to this mission.
As a Product Engineer, you’ll work alongside experienced mentors, product managers, and designers to solve complex problems, write production-grade code, and build features that matter. You’ll gain exposure across the full stack—React, Node.js, Postgres—and be part of a high-velocity team building the infrastructure of trust for the crypto economy.
The impact you’ll have here:
Build and ship full-stack features across TRM’s core products and internal tools, with guidance and mentorship from senior engineers.
Collaborate cross-functionally to clarify requirements, ask smart questions, and break down complex problems into shippable pieces.
Learn how to design and build APIs and services with scalability, performance, and maintainability in mind.
Write clean, tested, and well-documented code that delivers value to TRM’s customers and stakeholders.
Continuously improve through feedback, pair programming, code reviews, and retros—bringing curiosity and coachability to every interaction.
What we’re looking for:
A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a closely related technical field (completed by Summer 2026).
1–2 software engineering internships, or equivalent experience through academic or personal projects.
Familiarity with JavaScript/TypeScript and an interest in full-stack development (React, Node.js, Postgres).
An eagerness to learn: you take feedback well and show curiosity about unfamiliar systems or tools.
Strong communication skills—you keep your team updated, ask questions early, and can explain your thinking clearly.
Demonstrated initiative—whether through a side project, internship, or campus involvement, you’ve shown you can take ownership and see something through.
Excitement for TRM’s mission to build a safer financial system for billions of people.

Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
Ruthless Prioritization & Adaptability: We adapt quickly when faced with new information. For example, an engineer may message the PM or EM to prioritize Task A vs. Task B in the middle of the sprint – we don’t let inertia guide our decisions. Instead we focus on ruthless prioritization and pivot quickly as needed.
Challenging Timelines (Execution Pressure): An engineer questions a teammate’s proposed 3-week timeline, and constructively argues for condensing it to 2 weeks—backed by rationale, tradeoffs, and a plan to reduce scope or increase velocity. They show ownership of delivery speed and willingness to push for urgency.
Time-Boxed Spiking (Rapid Learning & Decision-Making): An engineer proposes a 1-week spike with a clear time-box and success criteria to explore implementation options or validate feasibility through a proof of concept. They demonstrate speed not just in execution, but in de-risking decisions early.
The following represents the expected range of compensation for this role:
Individual pay is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. The compensation details listed in this posting reflect the US base salary only.

The team received a request from customers to show the running balance for assets tied to an address within the product. They brainstormed to determine the minimal viable solution that could be delivered within two weeks. The team decided to develop a framework that would facilitate enabling this feature for each chain (such as BTC, ETH, etc.) individually. They successfully implemented and tested this solution for the BTC chain and delivered it to customers within the two-week timeframe. This approach allowed the team to quickly provide value to customers and establish a repeatable process.
The team was tasked with implementing a new feature that would enable TRM to gather feedback from the user community swiftly. Due to the company's goal of showcasing the feature at an upcoming event, the timeline was tight. The team quickly adjusted to the request, assessed the requirements, and developed a solution that addressed 80% of the needs and could be executed within a very short timeframe. They successfully delivered the feature on schedule, impressing customers with both the functionality and the speed of execution.
The team was tasked with developing a solution to reveal Indirect Exposure through cross-chain swaps in response to a competitor's similar feature. Before choosing the technical approach, the team consulted with stakeholders to establish a feasible timeline for the implementation. With this input, the team devised a solution that fit the timeline, communicated the tradeoffs to stakeholders, and successfully delivered the solution as promised.

TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
The Data Platform team builds and owns highly available, scalable data infrastructure for TRM's products and services. As a Senior Software Engineer on Data Infrastructure (RDBMS), you will develop, operate, and scale the relational database systems that serve data at petabyte scale, helping build a safer financial system for billions of people. This role is uniquely broad at TRM: you own the serving layer end to end, from query performance to cost to availability, on infrastructure that product teams depend on every day.
The impact you will have:
Keep customer-facing APIs fast and available at five-nines by owning query tuning, index design, and schema optimization on petabyte-scale Postgres/Citus, directly determining whether product teams can serve data in real time
Cut storage and compute costs materially by using AI-assisted analysis (pganalyze paired with Claude) to detect compression and data-model opportunities, then shipping validated changes to production
Remove team toil by building agentic automation for routine database operations, such as self-serve pgbouncer provisioning, disk scaling, and blue-green deployments, so any engineer can run them safely
Protect data integrity and latency by driving agentic validation of database changes before they reach production
Keep real-time data flowing by managing CDC pipelines (PeerDB, Fivetran, Debezium) and using AI tooling to debug replication failures faster
Shape the next-generation platform by migrating workloads off first-gen infrastructure and prototyping new data stores with AI-accelerated spikes
Raise the whole team's leverage by codifying your workflows into AI-native runbooks and internal tooling that teammates reuse
What we're looking for:
5–8 years building and operating production PostgreSQL (Citus, Aurora, AlloyDB, or equivalent distributed Postgres)
Deep SQL optimization skills (Explain Plans, CTEs, window functions, partitioning, index design, query-planner behavior in distributed environments), increasingly paired with AI-assisted query analysis
Hands-on experience with CDC tools (PeerDB, Fivetran, Debezium, Datastream, Airbyte) and comfort using AI tooling to debug replication failure modes
Fluency with database profiling (pganalyze or equivalent) to interpret metrics and logs, including using LLMs to summarize performance findings
Production automation experience in Python or Go, including agentic automation of routine database tasks; Postgres extension development is a plus
Daily use of AI coding tools (Claude, Copilot) to accelerate development and produce higher-quality output faster, with the judgment to know when to trust or reject AI output
A track record of using AI-assisted analysis to drive measurable cost or performance improvements in production database systems

As an Engineering Manager on the AI Product Engineering team, you will re-imagine from first principles how people interact with software — unencumbered by the legacy of traditional SaaS. You'll lead a multidisciplinary pod of frontend, backend, and full-stack engineers to build tooling that enables crime fighters to keep pace with the growing threat of AI-powered crime. That means shipping workflows that are more autonomous, auditable, and 10x more effective than current SaaS-based tools.
This role blends people leadership, technical judgment, and end-to-end ownership — from 0→1 product bets through to scaled, reliable production systems. You'll partner closely with Product, Design, and AI-focused teams to translate ambiguous ideas into intuitive, scalable product experiences.
This role is for you if…
You’re an Engineering Manager who still ships. You review code, jump into PRs when needed, and stay close to the architecture.
You’re obsessed with building at the frontier of AI and experimenting with LLMs, agents, and tools like Claude Code, and comfortable orchestrating multiple agents in parallel.
You don’t need heavy PM structure. You turn ambiguity into momentum and move fast without waiting for perfect specs.
You love talking to customers and use those conversations to shape what gets built.
You hire and inspire exceptional engineers, plus treat team quality as a product decision.
You want real ownership: 0→1 bets, scaled systems, and the culture that makes both possible.
The impact you’ll have here:
Lead and develop a pod of engineers across frontend, backend, and full‑stack disciplines, setting a high bar for craftsmanship, pace, and ownership.
Own execution of key AI‑powered product initiatives end‑to‑end, from shaping problem statements and 0→1 prototypes to launch, iteration, and scale.
Partner closely with Product and Design on roadmap planning, tradeoffs, and prioritization, especially where AI can unlock step‑function improvements in user workflows.
Drive predictable delivery while maintaining high standards for quality, reliability, and maintainability in a fast‑moving environment.
Provide technical leadership through design reviews, architectural discussions, and unblocking engineers across the stack (FE + BE + integrations).
Collaborate cross‑functionally with other engineering teams (data, platform, AI/agents) to integrate advanced capabilities into clear, explainable user experiences.
Establish strong engineering fundamentals - clear ownership, documentation, observability, testing, and operational rigor - for AI‑infused product surfaces.
Foster a culture of high trust, high velocity, and candid communication, where hiring and developing exceptional talent is treated as a first‑class responsibility.
What we’re looking for:
5+ years of software engineering experience and 2–5+ years of people management experience, leading multidisciplinary product teams that ship user-facing software.
Strong product engineering background building workflow-heavy or data-rich applications end-to-end, from 0→1 through scale.
Experience building or integrating AI/LLM-powered features into production systems. You understand the practical realities of shipping AI — iteration, evaluation, reliability, and UX tradeoffs.
Proven ability to operate in ambiguous problem spaces, move quickly without heavy process, and turn early ideas into shipped product.
Technical depth to review code, guide architecture, and make sound tradeoffs across frontend, backend, and AI-integrated systems.
Experience partnering closely with Product and Design in fast-moving environments, balancing speed, quality, and user experience.
Strong communication skills and comfort engaging directly with customers to inform product direction.
Nice to Have:
Experience scaling or evolving product engineering pods.
Background in B2B or enterprise software.
Experience with data-rich, workflow-heavy, or real-time products.
Familiarity with event-driven systems or complex integrations.
U.S. Citizenship Required: This role requires U.S. citizenship due to the nature of the work and applicable customer and government requirements.
If you’re interested in joining TRM, we encourage you to apply directly. Every application is reviewed by our Talent team.
Before applying, review the job description carefully and highlight the experience and impact that best demonstrate the required qualifications. Please also provide thoughtful and accurate answers to the application questions, as these will be used to evaluate your qualifications for the role.

What we’re looking for:
Experience designing and building scalable systems, web applications, APIs, and services.
An understanding of storage systems such as relational databases (e.g., Postgres) and analytical databases.
Demonstrated experience in understanding customer pain points and bridging their needs to technical & product requirements.

Ruthless Prioritization & Adaptability: We adapt quickly when faced with new information. For example, an engineer may message the PM or EM to prioritize Task A vs. Task B in the middle of the sprint – we don’t let inertia guide our decisions. Instead we focus on ruthless prioritization and pivot quickly as needed.
Challenging Timelines (Execution Pressure): An engineer questions a teammate’s proposed 3-week timeline, and constructively argues for condensing it to 2 weeks—backed by rationale, tradeoffs, and a plan to reduce scope or increase velocity. They show ownership of delivery speed and willingness to push for urgency.
Time-Boxed Spiking (Rapid Learning & Decision-Making): An engineer proposes a 1-week spike with a clear time-box and success criteria to explore implementation options or validate feasibility through a proof of concept. They demonstrate speed not just in execution, but in de-risking decisions early.

The team received a request from customers to show the running balance for assets tied to an address within the product. They brainstormed to determine the minimal viable solution that could be delivered within two weeks. The team decided to develop a framework that would facilitate enabling this feature for each chain (such as BTC, ETH, etc.) individually.

This approach allowed the team to quickly provide value to customers and establish a repeatable process.
The team was tasked with implementing a new feature that would enable TRM to gather feedback from the user community swiftly. Due to the company's goal of showcasing the feature at an upcoming event, the timeline was tight.

They successfully delivered the feature on schedule, impressing customers with both the functionality and the speed of execution.
The team was tasked with developing a solution to reveal Indirect Exposure through cross-chain swaps in response to a competitor's similar feature.

At TRM, AI fluency means you are among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to:
Accelerate repeatable workflows
Structure and solve problems
Improve output quality
Increase speed and leverage
You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.
We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They’re the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.
Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment – test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly.
Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.
Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one‑team mindset — giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.
At TRM, we care deeply about our craft. We are looking for individuals who want their work to matter, who experiment with speed and rigor, and who take pride in building a safer world for billions of people. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply — we hire for slope, judgment, and the will to learn fast.

Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work directly with TRM's national-security customers — deploying our platform into their environments, sitting with the people who use it, and building what the mission actually needs.
This is a generalist engineering role. In a given quarter you might ship application code, debug a Kubernetes workload in a restricted environment, design a data schema, stand up cloud infrastructure, or prototype an entirely new capability because a customer described a problem nobody has solved yet. You will often be the only TRM engineer in the room. What you build enables our government customers to use TRM securely in the most demanding environments in the world — and carries what you learn there back into the product.
The impact you will have:
Deploy, integrate and operate TRM's platform inside customer environments - cloud and air-gapped - and own the outcome, not just your slice of it.
Sit directly with mission users, translate what they need into working software, and build it: integrations, data pipelines, and prototypes that prove out a capability before it's a product.
Deliver across whatever the problem requires — application code, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, databases, data flow - rather than staying inside one specialty.
Act as the technical bridge back to TRM's product and engineering teams, carrying mission context into the roadmap.
Diagnose and resolve hard problems in constrained environments, with limited tooling and limited outside help.
What we’re looking for:
Strong programming ability in Python and/or Node.js/TypeScript, with real fluency developing with AI — coding agents and LLM tooling are part of how you ship, and you have judgment about where they help and where they don't.
Hands-on Kubernetes: deploying, debugging and reasoning about real workloads. Maintaining someone else's cluster is not the same thing.
Production AWS experience — building environments, not just consuming them.
Working fluency with relational databases (PostgreSQL or similar): schema design, query tuning, moving data around safely.
Range. Concrete examples of delivering outside your primary specialty — a new language, datastore or platform you picked up because the project needed it.
Outstanding written and verbal communication. You will be the only engineer in front of a customer regularly, and comfort there is not optional.
Bonus, not required — depth in any of these raises the bar
Infrastructure as code (Terraform) and GitOps (Argo CD)
Data engineering at scale — orchestration, streaming, columnar/analytics stores
Distributed systems design and debugging
Building machine learning or agentic systems
Deep Linux/Unix and networking, especially in restricted or disconnected environments
Prior delivery inside classified or otherwise regulated government environments
About the Team:
Small, senior and high-trust. Everyone owns a real surface end to end; nobody is handed a queue of tickets.
We are the closest team at TRM to our customers, and we put them first. We do what it takes for their mission to succeed.
We align to US-eastern hours, on-site and remote, and we communicate across a lot of channels — high-side chat, high-side and low-side email, Slack, phone, Signal, Google Meet — switching between them fast when the situation calls for it.
Weekly team syncs plus project check-ins. We keep tracking current in Linear and raise problems the moment we see them rather than at the next standup.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
Rapid issue resolution. FDEs identify and diagnose critical on-site issues, open an incident channel or virtual war room with the remote team, and land fixes in minutes to hours — then run the retro and share the lesson with internal and customer stakeholders within 48 hours.
Navigating bureaucratic hurdles. FDEs anticipate customer-side delays rather than absorbing them: building relationships with customer stakeholders, finding the bottleneck, and finding another path to approval. Weeks of waiting become days.
Efficient knowledge transfer. Documentation stays current in Notion and work stays current in Linear. Anything that threatens a milestone is flagged within 24 hours, so the remote team is never surprised.

\"At TRM, we believe the people we hire will determine how far and how fast we can go in our mission to build a safer world for billions of people. That’s why we’re building a Talent team that sees recruiting as a craft and a competitive advantage, people who challenge assumptions, move with urgency, and are energized by building exceptional teams to solve incredibly hard problems. If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.\"
– Alicia Strait, VP of Talent, TRM Labs
At TRM, hiring is a mission accelerator. Every exceptional seller we bring on expands our reach into the markets where illicit finance does the most damage: public sector and defense, financial institutions, and crypto. When TRM closes the right customer, investigators get better intelligence, compliance teams catch more, and criminal networks lose ground. Your ability to find, engage, and close sales talent directly fuels this mission.
As a Sales Recruiter (Contract), you'll own recruiting for specialized Sales roles across our GTM organization, bringing a true sales mindset to talent: prospecting, influencing, and closing exceptional candidates in competitive markets where judgment, persistence, and product market fit decide who wins. You’ll be accountable for pipeline health, conversion, speed, quality, and outcomes.
The impact you'll have:
Build and own high-velocity pipelines, consistently generating qualified candidates for priority Sales roles across public sector, defense, financial institutions, and crypto.
Run recruiting like a sales funnel: managing top-of-funnel sourcing through close with a sharp focus on conversion, speed, quality, and candidate experience.
Act as a trusted closer for hard-to-hire Sales talent, overcoming objections, creating urgency, and driving offer acceptance against strong competition.
Design and execute targeted outreach campaigns using market intelligence, personalized messaging, and persistent, credible follow-up to engage passive candidates.
Partner with hiring managers and business leaders by aligning on priorities, tradeoffs, profiles, and strategy to hit aggressive goals.
Bring market fluency across enterprise sales talent pools, including sellers with experience calling on government agencies, financial institutions, crypto-native companies, blockchain ecosystems, and emerging tech markets.
Continuously optimize performance using funnel data and feedback, improving outreach effectiveness, pass-through rates, and time-to-close.
Serve as a talent advisor to the business, bringing insight on market dynamics, comp expectations, candidate motivations, competitive trends, and hiring risk.
What we're looking for:
5+ years of recruiting experience in high-growth, technical, enterprise, or mission-driven environments.
3+ years of experience successfully recruiting experienced Sales professionals across one or more of: public sector, defense, financial institutions, crypto, blockchain, DeFi, fintech, compliance, cybersecurity, or enterprise SaaS.
A strong outbound sourcing muscle: proven ability to identify, engage, nurture, and close passive candidates for competitive, hard-to-fill roles.
Experience partnering with senior GTM leaders to define strategy, calibrate profiles, diagnose funnel problems, and drive searches to close.
Strong command of pipeline metrics and conversion data, with the ability to spot bottlenecks, adjust quickly, and communicate tradeoffs clearly.
Comfort operating in a quota-like environment, balancing multiple searches while protecting the highest-impact roles.
A persuasive, credible communication style that lands with senior candidates, hiring managers, executives, and cross-functional stakeholders.
Excellent judgment on candidate quality, motivation, risk, and close strategy.
Grit, resilience, and a closing mindset: you create momentum rather than wait for inbound interest.

The Scam Disruption team is TRM's tip of the spear against pig butchering syndicates, romance fraud networks, and investment scam operations that steal billions from victims each year. As an All-Source Intelligence Analyst, you’ll lead targeting-driven investigative work: taking legal process to the ground, following the data wherever it leads, and delivering actionable intelligence to law enforcement partners.
You will operate the \"intelligence flywheel\" daily — fusing on-chain and off-chain data to build operational pictures that help dismantle scam operations.
Run legal process end-to-end against scam infrastructure and convert returns into targeting-ready intelligence for TRM’s teams and law enforcement partners
Trace scam compounds geographically and operationally — combining on-chain attribution with off-chain telemetry, OSINT, and commercially available data to identify operators, controllers, and movement patterns
Work the intelligence flywheel operationally — processing returns at high volume and feeding victim and operator data into TRM's intelligence and product pipelines
Find the seams — pivot from a single victim into uncovering the operation and multiplying leads
Partner with the Threat Intelligence Analyst (Scams Expert) and the All-Source Lead to translate disruption strategy into targeting packages that influence federal investigations
3 to 5 years of all-source investigative or targeting experience — federal law enforcement (former 1811s — e.g., FBI, HSI, IRS-CI, Secret Service), Intelligence Community all-source analysis, or mission-aligned private sector equivalent
Legal process expertise — you have personally drafted and worked returns from US legal process and know how to operationalize the data
Creative tactical thinking — demonstrated ability to pivot from a single point to a network view, identifying operators behind operations
Link and pattern analysis fluency — ability to correlate disparate data sources to generate defensible target packages
Strong written communication — skilled at writing memos, attribution write-ups, and federal-style leads that are actionable
AI fluency (required) — you use AI tools in your workflow, synthesizing returns, drafting outputs, and accelerating analysis, with examples of how AI has impacted your work
Crypto experience is a plus, not a requirement — we teach on-chain tradecraft; we cannot teach the targeter's instinct
US Citizenship required
Must be located in the Washington, D.C./MD/VA area (periodic in-person collaboration and travel may be required)
The Scam Disruption team operates within TRM’s Blockchain Intelligence organization, alongside threat intelligence analysts, on-chain investigators, and federal partners
All-Source Investigators are the operational core, converting strategy and tooling into prosecutable, actionable intelligence
Distributed team with an async-first approach via Slack and Notion, plus structured syncs for alignment
High autonomy, high standards, low bureaucracy — work directly with analysts, engineers, and customers who depend on your output
Weekly team syncs to align targeting priorities and review disruption opportunities
Daily async standups via Slack on active work, returns, and target packages in flight
Primary time zone overlap: US Eastern / Central
All output documented in Notion and TRM’s investigative tools
Surge availability expected during time-sensitive disruption windows

The team received a request from customers to show the running balance for assets tied to an address within the product. They brainstormed to determine the minimal viable solution that could be delivered within two weeks. The team decided to develop a framework that would facilitate enabling this feature for each chain (such as BTC, ETH, etc.) individually. They successfully implemented and tested this solution for the BTC chain and delivered it to customers within the two-week timeframe. This approach allowed the team to quickly provide value to customers and establish a repeatable process.
The team was tasked with implementing a new feature that would enable TRM to gather feedback from the user community swiftly. Due to the company's goal of showcasing the feature at an upcoming event, the timeline was tight. The team quickly adjusted to the request, assessed the requirements, and developed a solution that addressed 80% of the needs and could be executed within a very short timeframe. They successfully delivered the feature on schedule, impressing customers with both the functionality and the speed of execution.
The team was tasked with developing a solution to reveal Indirect Exposure through cross-chain swaps in response to a competitor's similar feature. Before choosing the technical approach, the team consulted with stakeholders to establish a feasible timeline for the implementation. With this input, the team devised a solution that fit the timeline, communicated the tradeoffs to stakeholders, and successfully delivered the solution as promised.

We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.
TRM moves quickly. We are a high velocity, high ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and continuous feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it will ship here in days.
Our work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly. The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission. As a result, the way we operate requires a high level of ownership, adaptability, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
At TRM, you should expect:
Priorities and targets to change quickly as we experiment and iterate
Work that often requires operating with a high degree of ambiguity
A high level of personal ownership and accountability
Close collaboration across teams and functions
Frequent, high-touch communication
Creative problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking
A pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes
This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires comfort navigating ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment.
We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure test whether this environment is truly the right fit.

AI fluency is a baseline expectation at TRM.
We believe AI meaningfully changes how top performers operate. We expect every team member to use AI to accelerate and reimagine their craft, not just automate surface tasks.
At TRM, AI fluency means you are among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to:
Accelerate repeatable workflows
Structure and solve problems
Improve output quality
Increase speed and leverage
You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.
We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They’re the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.
Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment – test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly.
Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.
Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one‑team mindset — giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.
At TRM, we care deeply about our craft. We are looking for individuals who want their work to matter, who experiment with speed and rigor, and who take pride in building a safer world for billions of people. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply — we hire for slope, judgment, and the will to learn fast.

TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
TRM Labs is building the global standard for investigations.
We're looking for a Senior Product Manager who understands that this role is not coordination. It's ownership. Your job is to enable, capture, and expand ARR. You do that by moving through four stages: Pathfinding, Shaping, Building, and Closing. Each stage has different owners and partners who optimize for their local maximum. You are the thread across all of them, thinking and acting like a general manager: relentlessly pursuing the outcome, activating others or doing it yourself.
PMs at TRM hold a lever no one else does — the ability to change what the product does. Sales can sell what exists. CS can support what was built. Marketing can amplify what's launched. Only you can build the thing that makes the deal closeable, the trial stick, or the expansion obvious.
You'll own TRM's cyber threat intelligence solution, serving analysts and investigators across both public and private sectors. Your customers are threat intel teams, SOC analysts, and national security agencies who need to trace cyber actors, map threat infrastructure, and connect disparate signals to the adversaries behind them. The investigations are high-stakes: ransomware, state-sponsored attacks, critical infrastructure threats. You'll build the capabilities that make TRM the platform analysts reach for first.
Pathfinding: Get in front of customers before there's anything to show them. Surface the problems they can't fully articulate, in domains where the stakes are real: financial crime, intelligence, national security. Turn a morning conversation into a same-day spec.
Shaping: Translate customer insight into a solution with your hands on it. You're prototyping, iterating with designers, and actively driving what the product becomes — not handing off a problem statement and waiting. It's an iterative process, and customers are in the loop throughout.
Building: Ship in hours and days, not weeks or months. Build AI agents into the product and into your own workflow as a matter of course, not as an experiment. You write and ship code alongside engineers and the Product Cortex.
Closing: Be present in the deal. Lead demos, run scoping calls, surface product feedback from the field, and translate it into roadmap unlocks that make each deal closeable. Your seat at the table in a sales cycle isn't optional. It's where you learn what to build next.
Curiosity: You go deeper than the feature request. You run discovery to find the problem the customer didn't name, in a domain where context is everything and surface-level listening fails.
Bias for action: You ship a working V1 and iterate. You don't wait for perfect information. You can walk us through a real example where you moved faster than the org expected and it paid off.
AI systems dialed in: You already build agents and live in an AI-native workflow. You can demo it. You're not planning to start — you started. At TRM, this is table stakes, not a differentiator.
Product taste: You know what good looks like and you can define it precisely enough that others can execute it. Your instinct for what's worth building, and what isn't, is something you've earned, not assumed.
5+ years of PM experience at a B2B SaaS company
Has led at least two complete product cycles from spec to launch in complex enterprise domains: security, fintech, intelligence, defense, or equivalent — owning the outcome end-to-end
Experience building or shipping AI-powered products or workflows; already living in an AI-native workflow, not planning to start
Demonstrated ability to ship in days; can walk through a real example
Process PMs who manage the work rather than own the outcome
Candidates who treat AI as something to \"explore\" — must already build agents as part of their job
PMs who have never owned direct customer relationships or who rely on an analyst layer to do discovery
TRM's Product team operates as builders, not coordinators. Every PM owns outcomes end-to-end from the first customer conversation through post-launch adoption. We move fast: features are measured in days and weeks, not sprints and roadmap cycles. AI is how we work, not just what we build. Every PM uses agents, builds workflows, and contributes reusable tools to the team's shared plugin library. Small team, high bar, visible impact. Your work shows up directly in company ARR and in how investigators and analysts operate in the field.
Interview a customer in the morning. Build a prototype using MagicPatterns and AI tooling by 3pm. Share it with the customer for feedback by EOD.
Identify a high-priority signal on Monday. Spec finalized Tuesday. Engineering aligned Wednesday. Launched Friday.
Publish a plugin or skill to the TRM marketplace as a byproduct of your daily work, something you built to do your own job better, so the full team can leverage it within the same sprint.

The work is serious, but the way we show up doesn’t have to be forgettable. As TRM has grown, our brand has become one of our most important assets: it’s how the market understands who we are, why the mission matters, and why the best people and customers choose to work with us. We're looking for a Staff Brand Designer to set the craft standard with our team. This designer has an eye that is precise, considers execution, and the work around them gets better just by virtue of their presence.
This is a role for an experienced visual designer. You’ll own the most complex and high-visibility brand design work at TRM across campaigns, web, social, events, sales and marketing, reports, and every surface brand design touches. You’ll help define what visual excellence looks like as our brand continues to evolve, and you'll raise the quality floor for everyone around you.
You'll lead through the work, through design direction, and through mentorship rather than through direct management. This is an individual-contributor craft role today, but can grow.
We’re building an AI-first creative team. It does not mean design by prompt, and it does not mean fewer designers. Taste, judgment, and craft are scarce and valuable things, and they stay firmly human-led. AI is how we extend them: exploring more directions before committing to one, getting to a rough first pass faster, producing variations at a scale that wasn't previously realistic, and reclaiming time for the decisions that actually deserve it.
We’re looking for someone who has already folded AI into their own practice in some form, has a point of view on where it helps and where it gets in the way, and wants to help the team build that fluency together. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You do need to be actively experimenting and learning, and you should expect to help set the standard for how a high-craft brand team uses these tools well.
Set and uphold the craft standard for TRM’s brand: across campaigns, web, social, events, thought-leadership reports, and sales and marketing collateral.
Lead the most complex and high-visibility brand design projects end-to-end, from brief through delivery, at consistently high craft.
Partner with creative and marketing leadership to evolve TRM’s creative direction: defining and executing visual standards across typography, imagery, layout, and color.
Translate complex, data-heavy subject matter (blockchain intelligence, investigations, risk) into infographics, data visualizations, and shareable graphics that make dense information land for technical and non-technical audiences alike.
Provide hands-on craft oversight across brand output: reviewing work, raising the quality floor, and helping the team make better decisions.
Build and steward brand systems and documentation that scale across programs, formats, and audiences without losing soul and know when to break the system for the right reason.
Commission and art-direct external creatives: agencies, illustrators, and motion designers.
Mentor and elevate other designers through critique, pairing, and direct feedback: raising craft through the work, not just in conversation.
Advance the team’s AI-native design practice: bringing AI-assisted tools into concepting, iteration, and production, and helping teammates build the same fluency. Human taste and judgment lead. AI extends the range and speed of what we can explore.
Collaborate with brand strategists, copywriters, product marketing, and leadership on how TRM shows up across every channel.
Treat briefs as a floor, not a ceiling. Push past them, take big swings, and explore new formats.
7-10+ years of brand design experience, including high-craft environments: agency, editorial, elevated consumer, or design-forward tech.
A portfolio that is excellent. Work must demonstrate mastery of typography, layout, color, and composition across a range of brand contexts.
A clear aesthetic point of view: you can articulate what makes something great and what makes something fall short, and you've built that perspective through years of rigorous practice.
Fluency in brand systems: you understand how to build for scale and consistency, and you've stewarded a brand through growth or change.
Proven ability to make complex information land: data visualization, infographics, and editorial design that turn dense material into something clear and compelling.
Experience operating at a staff level: you work autonomously, influence without authority, and make decisions that shape the output of an entire team.
Deep fluency in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), across both digital and print formats.
Experience with digital and web design: building component libraries, working with developers.
Strong verbal, written, and presentation skills: you can communicate the process, intent, and impact of your design decisions with clarity.
An AI-first mindset: hands-on experience bringing generative AI tools into real creative work, a clear-eyed view of where they help and where they fall short, and a genuine appetite to keep growing those skills as the tools evolve.
Curiosity, restraint, and a genuine passion for doing work that's worth doing.
Motion design and animation
3D design
Note: This is a design and craft role. True coding and web development are not required, but this role will involve some vibe coding and AI vibe designing
Submit your portfolio along with your application. We'd love to see one or two pieces — ideally publicly available — that show your range across brand design, editorial or program branding, infographics or data visualization, and design-system thinking.

Our work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly.

We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure test whether this environment is truly the right fit.

Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.
Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one‑team mindset — giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.
At TRM, we care deeply about our craft. We are looking for individuals who want their work to matter, who experiment with speed and rigor, and who take pride in building a safer world for billions of people. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply — we hire for slope, judgment, and the will to learn fast.

Experience working within existing customer relationships to land new product lines and drive expansion revenue
A track record of success launching early-stage or newly released products into the market
Strong comfort with technical concepts and data products—you understand what they do (and don’t do) and can translate that value to customers
Exceptional executive presence, curiosity, listening skills, and comfort navigating ambiguity
A builder’s mindset—you enjoy shaping the GTM playbook, not just executing one

As Assistant General Counsel, Commercial you’ll be a key leader of TRM’s Legal team, which The Financial Times recently named one of the “Most Innovative In-House Legal Teams in North America.” You’ll partner closely with Go‑To‑Market, Product, Engineering, Operations, and leadership. And you will own complex commercial negotiations; guide product development (including AI‑driven features and data usage); and design scalable, AI‑assisted legal workflows that let the team focus on the hardest problems instead of repetitive tasks.
Success in this role looks like a Legal function that is fast, trusted, and deeply embedded in the business: deals close on time, product teams ship with clear guardrails, and routine work runs through well‑designed, measurable processes rather than one‑off fire drills.
AI Fluency is a Core Requirement at TRM-Legal
This role operates in an AI-native legal function. You are expected to actively use generative AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, contract CLM/AI platforms) in your daily workflow—for drafting, contract analysis, legal research, and process design. “Willingness to learn” is not enough: we look for demonstrated fluency, sound judgment about when to deploy AI vs. when to escalate to a human, and a track record of building or improving AI-assisted workflows.
Manage and develop a team of commercial attorneys and legal professionals — including hiring, mentoring, setting priorities, and creating a culture of high performance and continuous improvement. Build and scale the commercial legal team in line with company growth, including hiring, structuring coverage, and developing team members at all levels
Draft, review, and negotiate complex commercial agreements, with a primary focus on GTM and partnership deals across enterprise and government customers — including master subscription agreements, data and content licenses, strategic partnerships, and public sector contracts. Oversee counterparty and vendor due diligence as part of the commercial intake and contracting process
Navigate cross-border commercial complexity, including GDPR, UK data protection law, EU regulatory frameworks, and APAC-specific requirements, in support of a globally distributed deal pipeline across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia
Partner closely with Sales, Partnerships, Product, and Engineering leadership to support deal velocity and provide practical, business-oriented legal guidance. Operate as a key decision-maker on commercial legal risk, with direct escalation path to the GC/CLO on high-stakes matters
Support team members’ professional growth through regular feedback, stretch assignments, and opportunities to take ownership of meaningful work.
With legal team colleagues, navigate global regulatory complexity across privacy, AI regulation, law enforcement data access, sanctions/AML, and public procurement — translating developments into clear requirements for cross-functional teams.
Build and maintain commercial legal infrastructure, including contract templates, fallback playbooks, and CLM workflows, and ensure they are actually used.
Lead AI-enabled legal operations — designing and iterating AI-assisted workflows that improve efficiency and free attorneys to focus on judgment-intensive work.
Identify, frame, and escalate legal and business risks clearly, helping stakeholders make informed decisions in ambiguous situations.
Stay current on legal developments affecting AI technologies, data products, and the financial crime compliance space.
Experience. 10+ years of legal experience with a strong mix of top‑tier law firm and in‑house work, ideally in SaaS, fintech, cybersecurity, or crypto/Web3.
Commercial & product depth. Significant experience negotiating complex B2B technology agreements in data and analytics‑heavy product environments.
AI, data, and privacy literacy. Comfort advising on AI and data issues (e.g., data sources and permissions, privacy and security obligations, AI regulatory frameworks, content and IP questions), with the ability to quickly get smart on new regimes.
Government and institutional customers (plus). Familiarity with public sector procurement, bank/vendor risk processes, or working with law enforcement or financial institutions is a strong plus.
Builder mindset. You think in systems, workflows, and SLAs, and you enjoy turning ad hoc processes into scalable, documented ones—often with the help of CLM, Salesforce, and generative AI tools.
AI‑native working style. Demonstrated comfort using AI tools for drafting, summarization, research, and workflow design, as well as good judgment about when a matter should bypass AI and go straight to a human.
Communication and judgment. Excellent drafting and negotiation skills, with the ability to explain complex issues clearly to non‑lawyers and to calibrate advice for executives, GTM leaders, and technical teams.
High ownership, low ego. Ability to manage a high volume of matters, balance competing priorities, and move quickly while maintaining high standards—all while being a collaborative, humble teammate.
Qualifications. J.D. (or international equivalent) and active bar membership in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction (or ability to register in‑house where required).
If you’re interested in joining TRM, we encourage you to apply directly. Every application is reviewed by our Talent team.
Before applying, review the job description carefully and highlight the experience and impact that best demonstrate the required qualifications. Please also provide thoughtful and accurate answers to the application questions, as these will be used to evaluate your qualifications for the role.

Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
About the Role
TRM Labs builds the intelligence infrastructure behind the world's most consequential crypto investigations. As an All-source Intelligence Analyst, you will execute OSINT collection operations and build targeting packages on SE Asia scam compound networks from inside the region. You will fuse cell triangulation, IP geolocation, GEOINT, adtech, and in-region physical collection with financial intelligence and on-chain data to produce targeting packages that disrupt crypto-enabled fraud at scale.
The impact you will have:
Run end-to-end intelligence and OSINT operations against scam infrastructure across Southeast Asia, converting collection into targeting-ready intelligence for TRM teams and government partners.
Trace scam compounds geographically and operationally using cell triangulation, IP geolocation, GEOINT, adtech, physical OSINT, on-chain attribution, and commercially available data across Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand.
Process investigative returns at high volume and feed victim, operator, and infrastructure data into TRM’s intelligence and product pipelines.
Pivot from a single victim, wallet, device, or compound lead into broader operational networks and actionable investigative leads.
Partner closely with TRM’s Scams SME team, on-chain analysts, and the DC-based targeting cell to support government enforcement actions.
What we're looking for:
Bangkok presence or extensive APAC travel
3-5+ years of all-source investigative or targeting experience — federal law enforcement (former 1811s — e.g., FBI, HSI, IRS-CI, Secret Service), Intelligence Community all-source analysis, or mission-aligned private sector equivalent
OSINT Tradecraft — Hands-on experience with cell triangulation, IP geolocation, GEOINT, adtech analysis, infrastructure attribution, and link analysis.
Targeting & Analytical Skills — Experience building operational intelligence products or targeting packages for government or law enforcement partners.
APAC Operational Experience — Southeast Asia field experience (Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, or Cambodia) strongly preferred; regional language skills are a major differentiator.
AI & Investigative Fluency — Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate investigative workflows, synthesize data, and draft operational outputs.
Mission Alignment — Financial crime or crypto experience is a plus, not a requirement.
About the Team:
TRM's Primary Intelligence function sits within R&D and leads intelligence product development for government and commercial customers
Close collaboration with TRM's Scams SME team, who provide foundational scam compound domain context
This is a build role: you will establish TRM's APAC field presence and targeting capability from the ground up
Team Operating Rhythms
Weekly team syncs to align targeting priorities and review disruption opportunities
Daily async standups via Slack on active work, returns, and target packages in flight
Primary time zone overlap: US Eastern / APAC
All output documented in Notion and TRM’s investigative tools
Surge availability expected during time-sensitive disruption windows

About the Role
TRM Labs builds the intelligence infrastructure behind the world's most consequential crypto investigations. As a Senior All-source Intelligence Analyst, you will anchor TRM's in-region targeting capability — working closely with a pod of investigators operating from Southeast Asia to disrupt crypto-enabled scam networks at their source. You will fuse OSINT collection disciplines, in-region operational access, and financial intelligence to build targeting packages on the scam compound operators, financial service providers, and cyber infrastructure that enable large-scale fraud across the region.
The impact you will have:
Run intelligence and OSINT operations end-to-end against scam infrastructure across Southeast Asia, converting collection into targeting-ready intelligence for TRM teams and government partners.
Trace scam compounds geographically and operationally — combining cell triangulation, IP geolocation, GEOINT, adtech, physical OSINT, on-chain attribution, and commercially available data to identify operators, controllers, and movement patterns across across Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand.
Work the intelligence flywheel operationally — processing investigative returns at high volume and feeding victim, operator, and infrastructure data into TRM’s intelligence and product pipelines.
Find the seams — pivot from a single victim, wallet, device, or compound lead into uncovering broader operational networks and multiplying investigative leads.
Partner with TRM’s Scams SME team, on-chain analysts, and the DC-based targeting cell to translate regional collection and disruption strategy into targeting packages that support government enforcement actions.
What we're looking for:
US Citizenship required. Bangkok presence or extensive APAC travel required.
5-8+ years of all-source investigative or targeting experience — federal law enforcement (former 1811s — e.g., FBI, HSI, IRS-CI, Secret Service), Intelligence Community all-source analysis, or mission-aligned private sector equivalent
Operational Leadership — Proven experience building targeting packages for intelligence or law enforcement partners and coordinating small analytic teams or investigative pods in a player-coach capacity.
Investigative & Targeting Experience — in the Intelligence Community, DoD, federal law enforcement, or a mission-aligned private sector environment.
OSINT Tradecraft — Hands-on experience with cell triangulation, IP geolocation, GEOINT, AdTech analysis, and infrastructure attribution.
Targeting & Analysis Skills — Proven ability to build operational intelligence products and pivot from a single lead into broader operational networks using strong link and pattern analysis.
APAC Operational Experience — Southeast Asia field experience (particularly Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, or Cambodia) strongly preferred; regional language skills are a major differentiator.
AI & Investigative Fluency — Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate investigative workflows, synthesize data, and draft operational outputs.
Mission Alignment — Financial crime or crypto experience is a plus, not a requirement.

You'll operate as equal parts Subject Matter Expert and Data Scientist, translating deep domain knowledge into production-grade intelligence.
The impact you'll have here:
Own end-to-end attribution for a risk category: identify high-impact targets, build algorithms (heuristics, ML models, AI agents), and ship to production.
Collaborate tightly with — and become — a Subject Matter Expert for your category, translating customer and GTM needs into actionable intelligence.
Navigate all intelligence layers (Network / On-chain / Protocol) to uncover patterns competitors can't replicate.
Ship production-quality code — heuristics, ML models, and data pipelines — with rigorous evaluation and scalable architecture.
Drive measurable outcomes: billions in illicit funds traced, seized, or prevented.
What we’re looking for:
Quantitative background (Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering, Economics, Physics).
Strong problem-solving mindset: gets to the root cause, leverages creativity, and thrives in ambiguity with a hypothesis-driven, iterative approach.
Demonstrated domain curiosity — ability to absorb and apply expertise in blockchain, fraud, money laundering, or cybercrime.
6+ years in an analytical role with strong SQL, Python, and AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code).
Experience with distributed data systems (Spark, BigQuery, Airflow) and shipping production code.
Strong async communication (Loom, Slack, Notion) and ability to own work independently in a remote environment.
Bonus: Deep ML experience, prior work in crypto, financial crime, or financial institutions.
About the Team:
Data Scientists are embedded within risk categories teams (Sanctions, Cybercrime, Nation States, etc.), working closely with SMEs, engineers, and cross-functional partners.
Fully remote and globally distributed. Most overlap occurs 7am–12pm PST for meetings and collaboration.
All team members must have at least 4-hour overlap with PST business hours.
On-call responsibilities: Analytics on-call (< 1 hr/day monthly) and Data Science on-call (1-2 hrs/day every 3 months).
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
Rapid Customer Impact. Deliver last-minute, high-stakes projects for key customers — turning around attribution insights in days, not weeks.
MVP to Production. Build complex algorithms with tight timeframes (1-2 sprints for MVP) and iterate based on real customer feedback.

Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
TRM Labs is building the global standard for investigations.
We're looking for a Senior Product Manager who understands that this role is not coordination. It's ownership. Your job is to enable, capture, and expand ARR. You do that by moving through four stages: Pathfinding, Shaping, Building, and Closing. Each stage has different owners and partners who optimize for their local maximum. You are the thread across all of them, thinking and acting like a general manager: relentlessly pursuing the outcome, activating others or doing it yourself.
PMs at TRM hold a lever no one else does — the ability to change what the product does. Sales can sell what exists. CS can support what was built. Marketing can amplify what's launched. Only you can build the thing that makes the deal closeable, the trial stick, or the expansion obvious.
You'll own the product roadmap for TRM's compliance and AML suite, serving banks and financial services firms as the financial system migrates onto blockchain rails. Your customers are compliance teams, AML analysts, and risk officers who need to screen transactions, monitor wallets, track entities, and meet regulatory requirements at scale. As crypto becomes core infrastructure for global finance, TRM becomes indispensable not just to compliance workflows, but to the financial system itself. You'll build the features that cement that position and drive the expansion that follows.
Pathfinding: Get in front of customers before there's anything to show them. Surface the problems they can't fully articulate, in domains where the stakes are real: financial crime, intelligence, national security. Turn a morning conversation into a same-day spec.
Shaping: Translate customer insight into a solution with your hands on it. You're prototyping, iterating with designers, and actively driving what the product becomes — not handing off a problem statement and waiting. It's an iterative process, and customers are in the loop throughout.
Building: Ship in hours and days, not weeks or months. Build AI agents into the product and into your own workflow as a matter of course, not as an experiment. You write and ship code alongside engineers and the Product Cortex.
Closing: Be present in the deal. Lead demos, run scoping calls, surface product feedback from the field, and translate it into roadmap unlocks that make each deal closeable. Your seat at the table in a sales cycle isn't optional. It's where you learn what to build next.
Curiosity: You go deeper than the feature request. You run discovery to find the problem the customer didn't name, in a domain where context is everything and surface-level listening fails.
Bias for action: You ship a working V1 and iterate. You don't wait for perfect information. You can walk us through a real example where you moved faster than the org expected and it paid off.
AI systems dialed in: You already build agents and live in an AI-native workflow. You can demo it. You're not planning to start — you started. At TRM, this is table stakes, not a differentiator.
Product taste: You know what good looks like and you can define it precisely enough that others can execute it. Your instinct for what's worth building, and what isn't, is something you've earned, not assumed.
5+ years of PM experience at a B2B SaaS company
Has led at least two complete product cycles from spec to launch in complex enterprise domains: security, fintech, intelligence, defense, or equivalent — owning the outcome end-to-end
Experience building or shipping AI-powered products or workflows; already living in an AI-native workflow, not planning to start
Demonstrated ability to ship in days; can walk through a real example
Process PMs who manage the work rather than own the outcome
Candidates who treat AI as something to \"explore\" — must already build agents as part of their job
PMs who have never owned direct customer relationships or who rely on an analyst layer to do discovery
TRM's Product team operates as builders, not coordinators. Every PM owns outcomes end-to-end from the first customer conversation through post-launch adoption. We move fast: features are measured in days and weeks, not sprints and roadmap cycles. AI is how we work, not just what we build. Every PM uses agents, builds workflows, and contributes reusable tools to the team's shared plugin library. Small team, high bar, visible impact. Your work shows up directly in company ARR and in how investigators and analysts operate in the field.
Interview a customer in the morning. Build a prototype using MagicPatterns and AI tooling by 3pm. Share it with the customer for feedback by EOD.
Identify a high-priority signal on Monday. Spec finalized Tuesday. Engineering aligned Wednesday. Launched Friday.
Publish a plugin or skill to the TRM marketplace as a byproduct of your daily work, something you built to do your own job better, so the full team can leverage it within the same sprint.
Individual pay is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. The compensation details listed in this posting reflect the US base salary only.
The estimated base salary range for this role is $195,000 - $208,000.
Additionally, this role may be eligible to participate in TRM’s equity plan.
Please note – we factor in the different costs for geographies outside the United States.
Our R&D team is distributed not distant and will participate in work weeks, typically 1–2 times per quarter, at a TRM hub or other designated location. Work weeks may be scheduled with as little as 14 days’ notice, and some roles may require additional travel based on team and cross-functional needs.

TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
TRM's government cloud environment gives public sector investigators the same real-time analytical power our commercial customers rely on, and this role keeps that environment fast, reliable, and compliant as it scales. You'll join the Data Platform Serving team, working on the StarRocks-backed serving layer that sits underneath government cloud investigations, alongside the engineer who currently owns this domain solo. This is a chance to build hands-on distributed systems experience in one of the most operationally demanding environments at TRM: a regulated, high-availability government cloud deployment.
The impact you will have:
You will own performance tuning on the StarRocks serving layer, using AI-assisted query profiling (Claude, internal tooling) to find and fix slow query patterns before they become customer-facing incidents.
You will build and harden data pipelines feeding government cloud investigations, using AI code review workflows to ship reliable changes faster in a high-compliance environment where mistakes are costly.
You will reduce single-point-of-failure risk on GovCloud data infrastructure by becoming the second engineer who can independently operate and troubleshoot the serving layer, cutting incident response time when the primary owner is unavailable.
You will use AI-assisted debugging and log analysis to triage production issues in a regulated environment, turning multi-hour investigations into rapid root-cause fixes.
What we’re looking for:
U.S. citizenship is required for this role due to government cloud data access requirements.
Hands-on experience operating distributed OLAP or serving-layer systems (StarRocks, Trino, ClickHouse, or similar), including query tuning and performance optimization at scale.
Experience owning data pipeline reliability and incident response, and comfort using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate debugging, code review, and documentation.
Independent ownership mindset: you can pick up an unfamiliar piece of production infrastructure, use AI-assisted research and code exploration to ramp quickly, and take on-call responsibility with minimal oversight.
About the Team:
The Data Platform Serving team owns the layer that turns TRM's data into fast, reliable answers for the teams and systems built on top of it.
We're distributed, not distant: the team communicates constantly across Slack and async docs, with a bias toward direct, evidence-based technical discussion.
Decisions are made close to the data: engineers who operate the systems make the calls on architecture and tradeoffs, with input from the broader Data Platform org.
We work closely with Forward Deployed Engineering and Product teams to keep the government cloud environment at parity with our commercial platform.
Team Operating Rhythms:
Weekly team sync to review open incidents, in-flight infrastructure work, and upcoming compliance milestones.
Async daily updates in Slack on pipeline health, ongoing tickets, and blockers.
Sprint-based planning cycles with clear ownership assigned per workstream.
Retro after any production incident to capture learnings and adjust runbooks.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
A production database migration broke search-attribute registration across two environments right before a critical audit deadline. The on-call engineer traced the root cause, shipped a fix, and had both environments passing smoke tests again within the same day.
With a compliance deadline days away, the team needed off-cluster backups for the government cloud database with zero prior tooling in place. An engineer designed and shipped the full backup and restore pipeline — three stacked PRs — in under two weeks.
Audit log retention needed to jump to meet a new compliance floor with no advance notice. The engineer used AI-assisted config generation to update retention policies across the environment and verify compliance the same week.

Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
TRM Labs is looking for a Growth Lead, Consumer Fraud Reporting to protect and grow Chainabuse — the open consumer fraud reporting platform that is one of TRM's most valuable data assets. This is a sole-owner growth seat: you set the strategy, run the channels, build the partner integrations, write the briefs, ship the content with AI-assisted execution, and report on the metric that matters. The metric is vetted, indexed reports flowing into Chainabuse and TRM BI.
The impact you will have:
Own the top of the funnel for Chainabuse. Set the baseline, the quarterly targets, and the channel mix (SEO, content, paid, social, community, email) that lifts vetted report submission volume.
Build and operate the partner integrations that route reports from where victims already are: exchange complaint flows, wallet provider scam-detection, victim-support advocacy orgs, and LE referral pipelines. Run partner discovery, scoping, legal review, integration spec, launch, and post-launch reporting yourself.
Win scam-related queries on Google and on the AI-search surfaces (Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews). Use AI as default first move across content drafting, SEO topic generation, multilingual translation, partner outreach, and analytics summarization.
Set and enforce the victim-facing tone-of-voice. The audience is recently scammed and emotionally compromised; quality review across intake forms, emails, social, and community is a non-negotiable part of the role.
Operate as a one-person team: brief contractor and AI resources, kill what is not working, double down on what is, and report cleanly to Marketing leadership.
What we're looking for:
5+ years growth marketing experience, with at least one role scaling a consumer reporting, UGC-data, or community-data product on a measurable baseline.
A public-facing portfolio you can point to: pages you grew, integrations you shipped, communities you built, or queries you won.
Demonstrated AI fluency. Comfortable using AI tools daily across content, research, outreach, translation, and analytics.
Strong SEO and content fluency; comfortable with Search Console, Ahrefs / Semrush, and the emerging GEO discipline (Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews citation patterns).
Partner integration track record: has run exchange, platform, or advocacy-org integrations end-to-end without a BizDev function.
Editorial taste. Demonstrably good at writing copy that supports a recently-scammed audience without being patronizing or alarming.
Comfortable operating as a one-person team. Briefs creative, ships fast, owns the metric.
Bonus: crypto, financial crime, fraud, or victim-advocacy domain background. Bonus: multilingual reach.
Individual pay is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. The compensation details listed in this posting reflect the US base salary only.
The estimated base salary range for this role is $170,000 - $200,000.
Additionally, this role may be eligible to participate in TRM’s equity plan.

Demonstrated AI fluency. Comfortable using AI tools daily across content, research, outreach, event briefs, and analytics.
Compliance / fraud / risk domain credibility (or a credible plan to build it). Comfortable engaging with compliance, financial crime, and risk leaders at exchanges, FIs, and wallet providers.
Track record running peer roundtables, exec dinners, or industry-event programs end-to-end without a dedicated Events team.

We are looking for an Account Director, Public Sector to own and grow TRM's footprint across the Department of Homeland Security and adjacent US National Security and Partner accounts, with the primary responsibility of expanding TRM's coverage of US Federal LE cyber missions.
This is a high-trust, territory-owner role for a self-sufficient federal seller who can independently build pipeline, navigate FAR-based procurement, and serve as a credible US LE liaison.
The impact you will have:
• Serve as the named US LE liaison and the trusted single point of contact between TRM and contracting officers and cyber investigators.
• Own and build pipeline across DHS components (CISA, USSS, HSI / ICE, CBP) and adjacent NatSec accounts. Map the territory within 30 days and stand up 3x pipeline coverage within 90 days.
• Run end-to-end federal sales cycles: discovery, technical evaluation, procurement, and close. Navigate GWACs, BPAs, IDIQs, GSA Schedules, CIO-SP3, SEWP, and Alliant 2 without hand-holding.
• Use AI as the default first move across the workflow: Claude and ChatGPT for prospecting and outbound. Aim to free 4 to 10 hours a week of admin time and redirect it to customer engagement.
• Position TRM BI and AI products as mission-critical platforms for cyber disruption, illicit finance investigations, and sanctions enforcement. Bring Solutions Architects, Global Investigators, Compliance Advisory, and Policy colleagues into the right conversations at the right time.
What we're looking for:
5+ years of Federal SaaS sales with consistent net new ARR attainment in DHS components, US LE / NatSec agencies, or similar federal cyber-focused buyers.
Demonstrated ability to navigate federal procurement vehicles: GWACs, BPAs, IDIQs, GSA Schedules, CIO-SP3, SEWP, Alliant 2, and FAR-based contracting.
Existing relationships with DHS, CISA, USSS, HSI / ICE, CBP mission set strongly preferred. Active US Government Security Clearance strongly preferred (Secret minimum; TS / TS-SCI a plus).
Proven track record of self-generated pipeline. This is a territory-ownership role, not a lead-harvesting role.
Strong executive presence; comfortable at SES level and above. Excellent consultative selling skills, listening first, proposing second, always tying back to agency mission.
Demonstrated AI fluency. Comfortable using AI tools daily across prospecting, account research, outbound, RFP, and reporting.
Proficient in Salesforce, BoostUp, and modern AI-powered prospecting tools.
Crypto, blockchain, AML, Digital Forensics/Incident Response or financial-crime domain experience strongly preferred.

We believe AI meaningfully changes how top performers operate. We expect every team member to use AI to accelerate and reimagine their craft, not just automate surface tasks.
At TRM, AI fluency means you are among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to:
Accelerate repeatable workflows
Structure and solve problems
Improve output quality
Increase speed and leverage
You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.
We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They’re the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.

Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.
Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one‑team mindset — giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.
At TRM, we care deeply about our craft. We are looking for individuals who want their work to matter, who experiment with speed and rigor, and who take pride in building a safer world for billions of people. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply — we hire for slope, judgment, and the will to learn fast.

We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.
TRM moves quickly. We are a high velocity, high ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and continuous feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it will ship here in days.
Our work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly. The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission. As a result, the way we operate requires a high level of ownership, adaptability, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
At TRM, you should expect:

Work that often requires operating with a high degree of ambiguity
A high level of personal ownership and accountability
Close collaboration across teams and functions

We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure test whether this environment is truly the right fit.

Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
The Enablement Manager, Global Investigators will build and scale the onboarding, training, and commercial capability programs for TRM's Global Investigations Team — a group of investigators who drive customer mission outcomes and sit at the intersection of TRM's most critical customer relationships. This role exists to equip practitioners with the skills, frameworks, and resources they need from day one, and to unlock the commercial value that lives in every GI customer engagement. It's a rare opportunity to build a function from the ground up for an audience unlike any other: former investigators, intelligence professionals, and regulatory practitioners working with some of the world's most mission-critical organizations.
The Impact You Will Have:
Build and launch a structured GI onboarding program within 90 days that reduces time-to-independent-deployment for every new Global Investigator — using AI to accelerate content production, personalize learning paths, and instrument ramp outcomes.
Create a commercial capability playbook for GIs — including signal identification frameworks, customer expansion language, and opportunity handoff workflows — that directly contributes to TRM's NRR target by converting investigator proximity into expansion pipeline.
Produce GI-specific training materials at product launch cadence so investigators are ready to demonstrate new TRM capabilities to customers from day one, using AI-assisted rapid content development.
Build a program measurement system using AI-assisted analytics that tracks ramp time, content adoption, and commercial contribution — giving Investigations and Sales leadership clear signal on field readiness.
Partner with CS and Sales to design the GI-to-AE opportunity handoff framework, reducing expansion signal drop-off and improving pipeline quality.
Serve as the connective tissue between GI leadership, PMM, Product, and Sales — ensuring every program is grounded in real field needs and aligned to TRM's go-to-market strategy.
What we’re looking for:
Demonstrated experience onboarding or enabling technical, mission-oriented, or practitioner audiences — with examples of measurable outcomes (ramp time reduction, program adoption, behavior change).
Direct domain experience in law enforcement, intelligence, financial crime, compliance, or adjacent mission-driven environments — sufficient to earn trust with GI practitioners from day one.
Proven ability to design and deploy commercial skills programs for non-sales practitioners, including signal identification frameworks and opportunity handoff workflows.
AI-native working style — actively integrates AI tools into content development, program analytics, and program iteration; does not wait to be told to use AI.
Track record of operating independently in ambiguous, build-from-scratch environments without hand-holding or predefined playbooks.
Strong content development instincts — produces training materials that are immediately usable in the field, not generic L&D artifacts.
Cross-functional collaboration skills — comfortable working with CS, Sales, PMM, Product, and senior leadership to gather input, align priorities, and drive program design.
Team Operating Rhythms:
Distributed, not distant. Team spans EST and PST with a minimum 4-hour daily overlap window.
Primary communication channels: Slack (async text and voice notes) and Notion (project tracking and documentation).
Live syncs are intentional and scoped — not standing status calls.
Cross-functional collaboration with CS, Sales, PMM, and GI leadership is ongoing and async-first.
Learn About TRM Speed:
A new TRM product capability ships. Within the same week, you've assessed the GI use case, produced a training module in Notion, and deployed it to the field — no waiting for a quarterly training cycle.
A GI surfaces an expansion signal from a customer site. Within 24 hours, the framework for what to do with it — who to loop in, how to document it, how to hand it off — already exists, and the opportunity is moving.
A new Global Investigator joins. Within their first 30 days, they've completed a structured, role-specific onboarding program that was personalized using AI-assisted intake — not an ad hoc set of stakeholder calls.

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
TRM Labs builds the AI Investigations platform trusted by law enforcement and financial institutions to investigate and disrupt financial crime at scale. As a Staff Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst, you will drive the highest-complexity investigations on TRM's investigations platform, and you'll codify the methods, workflows, and analytical standards the rest of the team reuses. This is a role for CTI leaders with a track record of strengthening organizations and delivering significant impact for customers.
Run high-complexity investigations end-to-end, from a single seed indicator — a domain, IP, hash, alias, or wallet — through to an attributed actor, cluster, or campaign picture.
Identify new CTI collection opportunities and rapidly leverage the intelligence to get ahead of cyber threats
Build the network picture around cyber threat actors: C2 infrastructure, malware families, TTPs, and the people operating them.
Fuse technical indicators with OSINT and identity work, and follow findings into financial rails where the investigation goes there.
Set the analytical standard: raise the bar on rigor and confidence judgments across the team, and coach other analysts through exemplary tradecraft rather than process.
Partner directly with engineering and data science to turn investigative tradecraft into scalable capability — tooling and workflows the whole team benefits from, not one-off analysis.
Support incident responders, threat hunters, investigators, leadership, and external partners with timely, high-confidence intelligence products and briefings, especially where judgment, prioritization, and ambiguity are unusually high.
8+ years in cyber threat intelligence, intelligence analysis, incident-driven investigations, or closely related analytical work.
If you're at the 5-7 year mark and this reads like a stretch, please apply to the Senior posting instead. Same team, same work, different scope.
AI fluency is required — you build your own tools and agentic workflows with AI tools like Claude to automate and scale investigative work, and you apply real human quality control to validate what they produce.
A track record of raising the quality of work beyond your own cases — shaping standards, improving workflows, and helping other analysts do better work.
Direct experience partnering with engineering, data science, or product to make an investigative method repeatable at scale. This one is not optional at Staff.
Strong ability to combine direct collection and OSINT to deliver unique intelligence — resolving identities, aliases, and behavior across fragmented sources.
Experience producing finished intelligence, such as actor profiles, campaign reporting, attribution assessments, infrastructure mapping. Detection rules and threat feeds are a different discipline.
Judgment strong enough to guide others on evidentiary standards, not just apply them yourself.
Excellent written and verbal communication — you can package a finding for a technical analyst and for a non-technical partner.
Comfort operating in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly and ambiguity is normal.
Working proficiency in Russian, Chinese, or another language heavily used by cyber actors — particularly if you've used it operationally, in forums or persona work, rather than academically.
A public presence: conference talks, published research, invite-only sharing circles.
Hands-on crypto or blockchain tracing, and the ability to connect technical findings to financial infrastructure, including wallets, laundering paths, sanctions exposure, or identity-linked leads when relevant to the investigation.
TRM's Intelligence Team combines expert tradecraft and boundary-pushing innovation with deep analytical workflows across cyber, OSINT, and blockchain-enabled threat activity.
Distributed and async-first via Slack and Notion, with structured syncs for alignment.
High autonomy, high standards, low bureaucracy — you work directly with analysts, engineers, and partners who depend on your output.
Weekly team syncs to align targeting priorities and review disruption opportunities
Daily async standups via Slack on active work, returns, and target packages in flight
Primary time zone overlap: US Eastern / Central
All output documented in Notion and TRM’s investigative tools
Surge availability expected during time-sensitive disruption windows
Move quickly from a single lead or indicator to an initial analytical picture while the signal is still operationally useful.
Support partners and internal teams on time-sensitive issues where fast, defensible judgment matters more than perfect information.
Continuously adapt your tradecraft as adversaries, data sources, and analytical tooling evolve.

We're looking for a Senior Blockchain Intelligence Analyst to operate as a high-judgment, high-autonomy individual contributor specializing in ransomware. In this role, you'll leverage blockchain analytics, cyber threat intelligence, and cryptocurrency attribution to trace ransomware proceeds, identify threat actor infrastructure, and generate actionable intelligence that supports investigations, disruption efforts, and evidentiary workflows.
This is not a people-management role. We're looking for an experienced analyst who can independently lead complex investigations, develop high-confidence assessments, uncover novel attribution, and elevate the team's tradecraft through technical expertise, mentorship, and example.
You should be equally comfortable tracing funds across blockchains, identifying laundering and cash-out infrastructure, correlating technical, financial, and behavioral signals, and synthesizing fragmented data into clear, defensible intelligence that enables internal and external partners to make informed operational decisions.
The Impact You Will Have:
Produce impactful finished intelligence on ransomware actors, affiliates, facilitators, and laundering pathways, including actor profiles, lead packages, attribution assessments, and operational reporting suitable for investigative, executive, and partner audiences.
Lead complex end-to-end blockchain investigations from initial seed indicators such as victim payment addresses, deposit addresses, transactions, exchange exposure, infrastructure leads, or IP-linked activity through to full attribution and actionable recovery or disruption opportunities.
Trace ransomware-related funds across multiple blockchains, bridges, mixers, peel chains, and nested services, identifying controllers, counterparties, cash-out services, and recovery touchpoints.
Correlate on-chain activity with OSINT, threat intelligence, attribution partner data, and off-chain identity or infrastructure signals to build a complete picture of adversary behavior within the broader cybercrime ecosystem.
Own investigative workstreams from discovery through validation, escalation, and written production, including drafting intelligence products that are source-cited, auditable, and operationally useful.
Support TRM’s ransomware asset recovery mission by surfacing high-quality leads, identifying seizure or freeze opportunities, and helping partners move quickly before funds are off-ramped.
Drive analytical leadership across active ransomware investigations by prioritizing work, maintaining rigorous standards, and mentoring other analysts without formal people management responsibilities.
Partner closely with internal and external stakeholders, including investigators, threat intelligence teammates, product teams, and public-sector or private-sector partners, to ensure analytical outputs reflect real investigative tradecraft and support cross-functional operations.
Help strengthen TRM’s ransomware coverage by contributing new attribution, refining investigative methodologies, and improving repeatable workflows for lead generation and asset recovery support.
Support external briefings, customer or partner engagements, and capability-building sessions where ransomware tracing, attribution, and recovery tradecraft must be explained clearly and credibly.
You generate meaningful attribution, investigative leads, and recovery opportunities in ransomware cases where the answers are not obvious and the financial trail is deliberately obscured.
You consistently produce finished intelligence that partners trust and use in operational, investigative, and strategic contexts.
Your work helps TRM and its partners move faster on high-priority ransomware activity without sacrificing rigor, auditability, or defensibility.
You improve team capability by mentoring peers, refining tradecraft, and strengthening repeatable workflows for ransomware investigations and asset recovery support.
You help make blockchain-enabled financial intelligence a differentiator in how TRM understands, attributes, and disrupts ransomware activity across the cybercrime ecosystem.
5-8+ years of professional experience in blockchain intelligence, crypto investigations, cybercrime analysis, threat intelligence, financial crime investigations, or a comparable senior analytical role.
Blockchain tracing expertise — Deep hands-on experience tracing funds across multiple blockchains and through laundering or obfuscation techniques such as mixers, chain-hopping, bridges, peel chains, and layered cash-out behavior.
Extensive investigative tradecraft — Demonstrated ability to independently run complex investigations and synthesize findings into clear written intelligence products, including investigative assessments, lead packages, fund-flow analysis, and attribution reporting.
Ransomware domain expertise — including a deep understanding of the broader cybercrime ecosystem and the relationships among ransomware operators, affiliates, initial access brokers, malware developers, laundering networks, and cash-out services.
Excellent written and verbal communication — especially the ability to turn technically complex tracing findings into understandable, actionable intelligence for government and private-sector audiences.
Judgment and execution — Strong judgment, curiosity, and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment where timing matters and outputs must still stand up to scrutiny.
AI fluency — Experience leveraging AI tools and large language models (LLMs) to accelerate research, surface insights, and augment analytical workflows, with the ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs for accuracy and relevance.
Experience in government, national security, law enforcement, incident response, or mature private-sector investigative or threat intelligence programs.
Familiarity with OSINT, cybercrime infrastructure research, and cross-domain analytical methods that combine blockchain activity with off-chain signals and adversary behavior.
Comfort with modern investigative tooling, including AI and structured data environments such as TRM, Maltego, Palantir, or similar platforms.
Experience conducting HUMINT collection and engaging threat actors via dark web forums and encrypted messaging platforms.
Experience mentoring peers, shaping analytical standards, or improving investigative workflows without formal people management.
Advanced practitioner-level knowledge of crypto forensics concepts such as manual demixing, smart contracts, bridges, Ethereum- and TRON-based investigations, and OSINT-based data extraction.
Recognized subject matter depth, broader organizational influence, and a track record of shaping methodology or high-priority investigative strategy beyond individual case execution.

TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
As Head of Cyber Missions, you will build and lead TRM’s cyber mission practice from the ground up.
This is not a traditional software-sales, deal-desk, advisory, or professional-services role. You will identify consequential cyber problems, develop an independent, first-principles perspective on how to solve them, find the customers and leaders with the authority to act, and turn those opportunities into large, executable mission programs.
You will report directly to the CEO and help found TRM’s Mission Delivery organization.
You will focus on two mission areas, and you will own the outcomes in both.
Combating and disrupting cybercrime. You’ll help customers understand the highest-harm cyber threats facing their organization or jurisdiction, attribute the threat actors and enabling infrastructure behind them, translate intelligence into operational action, and enable takedowns, asset freezes, seizures, and other disruption, building lasting capability to reduce cyber-enabled harm.
Strengthening cyber resilience. You’ll design ambitious programs that measurably improve cyber resilience for national governments, state and local jurisdictions, critical-infrastructure sectors, and the private-sector organizations on the front lines. That might mean advising national leadership on country-wide resilience, or helping a single critical-infrastructure operator materially improve its posture.
Develop TRM’s cyber mission perspective. Identify the most consequential cybercrime and cyber-resilience challenges facing public- and private-sector leaders, form original first-principles views on how they should be solved, publish regular cyber thought leadership, and represent TRM credibly with operators, executives, policymakers, and industry leaders.
Source and qualify opportunities. Find the organizations facing high-priority cyber missions, build relationships with the buyers who have the authority, budget, and urgency to act, qualify the real opportunities, and hand formal commercial ownership to the right account executive. Priority buyers include national cyber-resilience agencies, critical-infrastructure CISOs and operators, and cyber units in federal and state law enforcement. Sales cycles commonly run 6 to 18 months.
Shape and scope mission programs. Work with customers to define the mission outcomes TRM can own, the final scope, and the delivery model, distinguishing what existing technology can deliver from what requires custom product, data, or AI, and making sure every commitment is operationally credible.
Build the commercial structure. Serve as a principal architect of the commercial approach across firm-fixed-price, time-and-materials, milestone, performance-based, and hybrid models, with a clear view of delivery risk, staffing assumptions, and scope boundaries.
Launch new engagements. When needed, serve as the interim leader who moves an engagement from “won” to “operating”: assemble the team, establish operating rhythms, define KPIs tied to mission outcomes, and install the permanent operational leader before transitioning to an executive steering role.
Build the practice. Turn each engagement into repeatable scoping, pricing, proposal, staffing, and launch models; recruit critical talent; influence TRM’s product, data, and AI roadmaps; and build enduring capabilities rather than one-off consulting projects.
10+ years of meaningful cyber experience, with the credibility to sit on a panel at a leading cybersecurity conference as a genuine expert who can decompose cyber mission problems from first principles, not just speak the vocabulary.
Demonstrated commercial ownership: you’ve personally sourced and scoped complex engagements of roughly $10M or more, and you can speak in detail to the outcome, the pricing and staffing assumptions, the risks, and the trade-offs you made.
A track record of translating an ambitious mission outcome into a real delivery plan: staffing profiles, technology and data requirements, operating processes, decision rights, KPIs, and a practical launch.
Founder-like behavior: you’ve repeatedly willed consequential things into existence, whether companies, products, practices, programs, or teams, and cut through institutional complexity to do what others thought unrealistic.
Both private- and public-sector fluency, including meaningful experience selling to or operating within the U.S. government. Familiarity with federal contracting is strongly preferred.
Enough technical fluency (deep engineering expertise not required) to understand TRM’s technology and data, match capabilities to customer needs, pressure-test proposed solutions, and collaborate closely with Product, Data, AI, and Engineering teams.
Exceptional executive communication: you can explain an offering in 20 seconds, differentiate it in two to three minutes, and write customer-facing materials and original thought leadership that build trust with operators and senior leaders alike.
Extremely low ego. You influence without authority, challenge senior leaders constructively, change your mind when the evidence changes, and care about the mission more than the credit.
AI fluency. AI is already a meaningful part of how you research, synthesize, and build (analyses, prototypes, proposals, customer materials), with strong human quality control over the output.
Lie awake thinking about how AI will change the balance of power between attackers and defenders, and what has to be rebuilt before adversaries can destroy societal trust at unprecedented speed and scale.
Feel a personal sense of urgency about protecting the systems that let communities live normal lives: hospitals, water systems, financial infrastructure, communications networks, and public institutions.
Already have strong opinions about where today’s approaches fall short against the hardest security problems.
Believe cyber missions can’t be solved by software, consulting, government, or the private sector acting alone, and are excited to combine AI, proprietary data, expert tradecraft, and public-private partnerships to achieve outcomes none of them could reach independently.
Don’t just read about emerging AI tools. You use them to build, investigate, synthesize, prototype, and test what’s newly possible, and you get impatient watching work done the slow way.
Are equally comfortable discussing national cyber policy with a senator, pressure-testing strategy with a CISO, and working alongside analysts on an intelligence package that could lead to a real-world disruption.
Want to be accountable for mission outcomes delivered, not tools sold or hours billed.
Are as energized by developing a first-principles strategy as you are by spending ten hours in a war room turning it into a proposal, staffing plan, operating cadence, and executable program.
Hear “that timeline is impossible” and, instead of arguing, quietly start building to show what’s possible.
Have built something consequential from zero: a company, product, practice, offering, team, or mission program.
Have owned a large, complex deal end to end, and years later can still recount the commercial trade-offs and assumptions you made.
Have spent parts of your career frustrated by bureaucracy or artificial constraints used as reasons important outcomes couldn’t be achieved, and you’re motivated to work with the change-makers across our institutions to bring new approaches to critical missions.
Would rather earn the respect of the operators behind the scenes than the applause of the audience from the stage.
Want your next chapter to be the most consequential work of your career.
You’ll help found TRM’s Mission Delivery organization, the team responsible for owning end-to-end cyber mission outcomes for customers rather than just shipping software. You’ll report directly to the CEO and work through a cross-functional matrix, pulling together intelligence analysts, data scientists, engineers, applied-AI specialists, lawyers, and former operators from across TRM to deliver each mission.
TRM is a distributed-first company. Washington, D.C. is strongly preferred for this role given the customer base, but it is not required. This is a high-autonomy role with very little bureaucracy, a direct line to the CEO, and real influence over TRM’s product, data, and AI roadmaps.
Direct, high-frequency partnership with the CEO on the most important missions
A disciplined operating cadence (clear owners, written communication, KPI tracking, and fast escalation) that you set and run without becoming the bottleneck
Roughly three to four weeks of travel per quarter, primarily domestic with meaningful international travel, for customer meetings, conferences, partner meetings, and TRM events
Surge intensity during major launches and time-sensitive opportunities, and a steadier practice-building cadence in between

Team & position summary
We are looking for a Software Engineer, API Integrations to join TRM’s AI Engineering team, focused on building the third-party integrations and scalable integration platform that power our AI-native products. You will design and ship reliable connectors, APIs, services, and integration infrastructure that allow TRM’s AI systems to access external data sources safely, quickly, and at scale.
In this role, you will work closely with engineers, product managers, data teams, and internal users to turn integration needs into production-grade systems. You will help improve the speed, quality, and reliability of how TRM connects to external intelligence sources, ultimately supporting our mission to build a safer financial system for the world.
The impact you will have:
Design, build, and maintain third-party API integrations that power TRM’s Agentic products and workflows.
Develop scalable integration infrastructure, shared services, and internal tooling that make it faster and safer to add new data sources.
Build reliable APIs, backend services, and data pipelines that support high-volume, mission-critical product experiences.
Collaborate with product, engineering, data, and internal stakeholders to translate integration needs into clear technical roadmaps and measurable outcomes.
Improve the quality, observability, reliability, and maintainability of TRM’s integration platform as usage grows across the business.
What we’re looking for:
Experience designing and building scalable backend systems, APIs, web services, and production software.
Strong understanding of third-party API integration patterns, including authentication, rate limits, retries, error handling, data normalization, and monitoring.
Experience with storage systems such as relational databases, analytical databases, queues, caches, or event-driven architectures.
Ability to work through ambiguity, structure complex problems, and identify the highest-impact technical priorities.
Strong ownership mindset and comfort driving projects from vague requirements through production launch and iteration.

About the Team:
The AI Engineering team builds the systems, workflows, and infrastructure behind TRM’s AI-native products. This role sits on the team focused on third-party integrations and the scalable platform that enables TRM to connect to external data sources quickly, reliably, and securely.
The team operates on a weekly sprint schedule. Engineers are expected to lead projects as technical anchors and are given opportunities to grow ownership according to their level and goals.
We work closely with product, design, data platform, infrastructure, and customer-facing teams to deliver capabilities that directly impact customers and internal users.
The team’s culture is built on psychological safety, high ownership, trust, accountability, and a bias toward shipping useful systems quickly.
The team’s timezone is a mix of EST and PST, with at least 6 hours of overlap with PST, generally from 8 am to 2 pm PST.
On-call: We have an on-call rotation that is approximately one week long and occurs once every 4–6 weeks. On-call work includes responding to PagerDuty alerts that warrant immediate attention and triaging customer or internal support requests from designated Slack channels.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
The team is often tasked with delivering critical integration work on tight timelines. In one example, a project initially estimated to take two months was delivered in two weeks by ruthlessly prioritizing, bringing in the right implementation support, and partnering with product to descope the first milestone while preserving immediate customer value. The project was able to deliver value quickly in sales conversations while the team continued to iterate on future milestones.
Engineers at TRM are empowered to drive decision-making across product, design, and technical implementation. Rather than waiting days for alignment, engineers are expected to analyze tradeoffs, propose solutions, and move discussions toward clear decisions.
The following represents the expected range of compensation for this role:
Individual pay is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. The compensation details listed in this posting reflect the US base salary only.
The estimated base salary range for this role is $180,000 - $210,000.
Additionally, this role may be eligible to participate in TRM’s equity plan.
Please note – we factor in the different costs for geographies outside the United States.
TRM has a large group of internal power users who provide fast product feedback. When engineers identify a clear pain point from this group, they are empowered to ship targeted improvements directly to beta users without multiple layers of approval.
In this role, speed means building integrations that are useful quickly, then hardening them into scalable, observable, and reusable platform capabilities as usage grows.

A pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes

– Alicia Strait, VP of Talent, TRM Labs
Our ability to identify, hire, and retain exceptional talent is foundational to our mission. The Talent team at TRM is made up of seasoned professionals who have experience hiring world-class Engineering, Data Science, GTM, and People teams for the most notable startups in Silicon Valley. As a Lead Technical Recruiter, you are the senior individual-contributor backbone of the team: owning our most complex and highest-stakes technical searches, setting the bar for craft across the function, and mentoring recruiters without needing a direct reporting line to do it. Your success will be measured by the quality and velocity of the searches you personally run, and by how much better the rest of the team gets because you're in the room.
Own end-to-end delivery on TRM's most complex, ambiguous, or highest-priority technical searches (e.g., executive-adjacent, novel function build-outs, or roles with thin talent markets), often running several ambitious searches in parallel with clear hypotheses, datapoints, and next actions.
Set the sourcing, evaluation, and closing standard for the function, modeling a bar that would be considered top-tier by industry peers, and stepping in on peers' searches when quality or timelines are at risk.
Act as a thought partner to hiring managers and executives on hiring strategy, market realities, and calibration, proactively flagging when a plan, level, or approach isn't working and proposing alternatives before being asked.
Mentor and coach recruiters across the team on sourcing craft, structured search design, and stakeholder management, through pairing, feedback, and modeling rather than formal authority.
Identify and close gaps in our recruiting systems, tools, and processes (dashboards, funnel hygiene, market maps, playbooks) so the whole team moves faster and with better data.
Build and share market intelligence, including compensation benchmarks, talent pool maps, and competitor movement, that shapes how TRM plans and prioritizes hiring across functions.
Create spaces for honest feedback and productive disagreement about what's working in our recruiting motion, and help the team let go of approaches that no longer serve results.
7+ years of technical recruiting experience in high-growth, US-headquartered tech startups, with a track record of independently closing hard-to-fill and senior technical roles.
Demonstrated ability to run multiple high-complexity searches simultaneously, each with a clear strategy, market read, and measurable outcomes.
A history of raising the bar for others, through mentorship, pairing, or informal coaching, even without formal management responsibility.
Sharp first-principles thinker who questions not just execution but the underlying hiring strategy, and is comfortable pushing back on hiring managers or leadership with data and alternatives in hand.
Fluent in translating messy, cross-functional hiring problems (competing priorities, unclear specs, multiple stakeholders) into a clear plan and next steps.
Strong operational instincts, comfortable owning improvements to sourcing tools, dashboards, and process design, not just working within them.
Exceptional, concise communicator who builds trust quickly with executives, hiring managers, and candidates alike.
A bias toward ownership: thinks like they run the function, not just their own req load.

Legal Counsel, Privacy will own how TRM keeps Orion compliant with privacy and data-protection laws around the world, partnering directly with Product, Engineering, and GTM so the company can expand into new markets without slowing down. This is a build role: you will stand up the privacy program that lets a public-sector platform operate globally, and your judgment will directly shape what TRM can ship and where it can operate.
The impact you will have:
Determine whether TRM can launch Orion in a new jurisdiction by owning the privacy analysis end-to-end — using AI to draft DPIAs and transfer assessments so decisions land in days, not weeks.
Embed privacy-by-design into Orion's development lifecycle, partnering with Engineering to resolve data-flow and retention questions before they become launch blockers.
Lead and respond to data subject rights requests (DSARs) in coordination with Engineering and Customer Success.
Build and maintain the privacy program's core artifacts — records of processing, DPIA templates, and breach-response playbooks — using AI-assisted workflows so the program scales without adding headcount.
Run first-pass review of data processing agreements with AI, then finalize positions, cutting turnaround time on customer and vendor DPAs.
Design lawful cross-border data transfer mechanisms (SCCs, transfer impact assessments) that let Orion serve international customers with confidence.
Stand up a self-service privacy-review intake, supported by AI triage, so routine questions are answered quickly and only genuinely novel risk reaches deep legal review.
Support the CLO and AGC with clear, business-ready guidance that helps leadership make faster, better-informed decisions on privacy risk.
What we're looking for:
4+ years of privacy and data-protection legal experience, with hands-on work applying GDPR and US state privacy laws to a technology product.
Active US bar admission; JD from an ABA-accredited law school.
Proven AI fluency: you use Claude, Gemini, or equivalent tools in your daily workflow and can design AI-assisted privacy processes — not just use AI for one-off research.
Experience counseling Product and Engineering teams on privacy-by-design, DPIAs, and data flows.
Familiarity with cross-border transfer mechanisms (SCCs, transfer impact assessments, adequacy analysis).
A collaborative, business-minded approach: you explain privacy risk in plain terms and work with partners to find a path forward rather than defaulting to no.
Comfort operating with ownership and limited oversight in a fast-moving environment.
About the Team:
TRM Legal is a lean, high-trust team that operates with high ownership and minimal hierarchy; each counsel owns their domain and is expected to advise proactively.
The Financial Times recently recognized the team as one of the \"Most Innovative In-House Legal Teams\" in North America, and the team is led by TRM's CLO, a former senior DOJ official.
AI tool adoption is a shared expectation — the team actively uses the Claude suite and similar tools to operate with the leverage of a much larger team.
Legal partners with Product, Engineering, and GTM as a business accelerator, not a bottleneck; you will be in the room shaping decisions early, not looped in after the fact.
Team Operating Rhythms:
The team is distributed across US time zones with core overlap during standard business hours; primary communication is async-first via Slack, with key decisions documented in Notion — distributed, not distant.
Weekly Legal team sync for cross-functional coordination; regular 1:1s with the AGC for prioritization and privacy program advisory.
TRM operates a high-transparency culture — program status and obligations are tracked in shared workspaces accessible to partner teams.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
Within the first 30 days, complete a full privacy assessment of an Orion feature and give Engineering a clear, actionable path to ship on schedule.
Within 60 days, stand up reusable DPIA and records-of-processing templates that cut time-to-first-draft on privacy artifacts by more than half.
Within 90 days, deliver a jurisdiction-readiness analysis that unblocks Orion's expansion into a new market.

TRM Labs is the intelligence platform for public safety and national security. Our AI-powered platform helps agencies trace illicit activity, map threat networks, and build cases-enabling investigators to disrupt the world’s most serious crimes at machine speed.
Our technology has supported efforts to disrupt fentanyl trafficking, trace terrorist financing, dismantle malware infrastructure alongside the FBI, and follow funds tied to one of the largest crypto seizures on record.
This is a dedicated, single-account role on TRM’s US National Security team, owning one of our most strategic Intelligence Community relationships. You’ll build TRM’s presence from the ground up, turning established relationships and deep mission expertise into a multi-year, multi-program partnership. You’ll own the account end to end, work directly with TRM’s founders and product leadership, and help shape mission-critical technology for national security customers.
This role requires US citizenship, an active TS/SCI with Full-Scope Polygraph on Day 1, and experience in this customer’s mission environment.
Own a flagship account & BUILD at the highest level. Not one of twenty reps chasing the same logos. You’re the primary seller for this account, shaping TRM’s footprint program by program.
Mission that’s viscerally real - Your work supports the people protecting national security every day.
Startup speed and founder access - Direct visibility with TRM’s leadership and product teams, and a real hand in the roadmap.
A career-defining ownership role with a path to leadership as the portfolio grows.
Competitive compensation and meaningful equity at a high-growth company.
The impact you will have:
Own the entire account relationship and mapping stakeholders from operational analysts through program leadership, understanding mission priorities, and positioning TRM as essential infrastructure for their workflows.
Lead all commercial activity: renewals, expansions into new programs, and net-new pipeline built around use cases where TRM meaningfully supports the mission.
Develop and maintain a 12-month rolling account plan, mapping pipeline to named programs, budget cycles, and contract vehicles - always maintaining 3x quota coverage.
Partner with Solutions Architecture on technical demonstrations and proof-of-concept engagements, translating operational requirements into compelling proposals.
Serve as the internal voice of the customer - bringing mission feedback to Product, Intel Products, and Compliance Advisory to shape TRM’s national security capabilities.
Navigate a complex procurement landscape - identifying contract vehicles, partnering with Legal and Deal Desk to structure compliant deals, and building pipeline well ahead of budget cycles.
Develop a roster of internal champions who advocate for TRM’s expansion across new programs and mission sets.
What we're looking for:
Active TS/SCI with Full-Scope Polygraph (FSP Poly) — required on Day 1; no exceptions. This position requires US Citizenship; candidates with dual citizenship are not eligible.
8+ years of enterprise SaaS/software sales into intelligence community or DoD agencies, OR 4+ years with deep demonstrated domain knowledge specific to the customers' mission environment
Pre-existing named relationships at the Maryland account or within its immediate peer network — you are known and trusted in this community
Demonstrated track record of closing six and seven-figure deals in classified government procurement environments, including experience with IDIQs, OTAs, GWACs, and government budget cycles
Farmer mentality: you find fulfillment in deepening long-term customer relationships, obsessing over mission alignment, and building the trust that leads to multi-year, multi-program partnerships
Strong consultative skills — you ask great discovery questions, listen actively, and build compelling narratives that tie TRM's capabilities to the customer's specific mission outcomes
Autonomous and owner-minded: you write your own proposals, build your own briefings, and do not rely on leadership to close deals
Excellent communication in both classified and unclassified settings: you can present complex blockchain intelligence concepts clearly to non-technical mission owners and to senior executives alike
About the Team:
TRM's National Security team operates with Focus, Accountability, Consistency, and Execution (F.A.C.E) — the same values we sell our customers on, we live internally
The team is highly collaborative: NatSec ADs share competitive intelligence, procurement learnings, and customer insights freely to strengthen everyone's accounts
Communication is Slack-first; @mentions are used liberally and responsiveness is expected during core EST business hours
Weekly 1:1s, bi-weekly team syncs, and monthly Pod meetings with the broader support organization (SA, Legal, Compliance Advisory, Intel Products)
The team predominantly operates in EST, with some PST overlap; most members are customer-facing from ~8 AM to 5 PM, with flexibility needed around customer mission rhythms and classified site requirements
Team Operating Rhythms:
Weekly 1:1 with hiring manager
Bi-weekly NatSec team sync
Weekly pipeline and deal review
Monthly forecast calls with NatSec leadership
Quarterly business reviews with strategic accounts
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
Day-1 Relationship Leverage: You will use pre-existing personal relationships to book meetings with key program decision-makers within your first two weeks — not month two — giving TRM an immediate commercial advantage that no competitor without your network can match
Mission-Driven Pipeline Seeding: Within 60 days, you will identify at least one new TRM use case specific to the customers mission set and convert it into a qualified pipeline opportunity — turning your domain knowledge into direct ARR before you've completed full product ramp
Account Plan Precision: Within 30 days, you will deliver an account plan that maps every known program, stakeholder, and contract vehicle to a 12-month pipeline forecast — giving TRM leadership and Deal Desk the visibility needed to resource the account correctly from the start

We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.
TRM moves quickly. We are a high velocity, high ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and continuous feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it will ship here in days.
Our work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly. The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission. As a result, the way we operate requires a high level of ownership, adaptability, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
At TRM, you should expect:
Priorities and targets to change quickly as we experiment and iterate
Work that often requires operating with a high degree of ambiguity
A high level of personal ownership and accountability
Close collaboration across teams and functions
Frequent, high-touch communication
Creative problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking
A pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes
This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires comfort navigating ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment.
We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure test whether this environment is truly the right fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.
At the same time, many people find this work deeply rewarding. If you are excited by meaningful problems, motivated by ambitious goals, and energized by working alongside mission-driven colleagues, there is a good chance you will find TRM to be an exceptional place to grow and contribute.

AI fluency is a baseline expectation at TRM.
We believe AI meaningfully changes how top performers operate. We expect every team member to use AI to accelerate and reimagine their craft, not just automate surface tasks.
At TRM, AI fluency means you are among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to:
Accelerate repeatable workflows
Structure and solve problems
Improve output quality
Increase speed and leverage
You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.
We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They’re the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.
Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment – test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly.
Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.
Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one‑team mindset — giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.
At TRM, we care deeply about our craft. We are looking for individuals who want their work to matter, who experiment with speed and rigor, and who take pride in building a safer world for billions of people. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply — we hire for slope, judgment, and the will to learn fast.

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
Financial institutions, government agencies, and regulators do not buy blockchain intelligence on a handshake. They buy it after a 700-question workbook, a DORA addendum, and a procurement portal that closes at 4:59pm local time. The Global Deal Desk is the team that gets TRM through all of that on every complex deal. This is the second seat on that team, and it owns the operational layer that currently has no owner: the portals, the deadline calendar, the SME chase, and the second read before anything goes to a customer.
The impact you will have:
Own live submissions from intake to upload: submission calendars, clarification windows, and Q&A deadlines across a dozen concurrent bids, plus portal mechanics and formatting, so nothing is lost to a cutoff. Use AI-configured intake and tracking workflows to keep every deadline visible.
Own procurement portal administration: registration, credentials, two-factor, and renewals across a large estate of buyer portals and framework registrations, held as a live registry.
Route and unblock the experts: work out which claims need verification, route each to the true owner across Product, Security, Legal, Infrastructure, and Finance, keep a live AI-supported view of who owes what by when, and get contractual, security, and data-residency flags to Legal and GRC while something can still be done about them.
Protect claim accuracy: give everything a second read before it leaves, validate product, security, and compliance claims against canonical internal sources, hold the entity and certification distinctions across TRM's US, UK, EU, and federal entities, and flag content that is stale, contradictory, or unverifiable rather than approximating it.
Build the intake process and the library: produce supporting documentation (sole-source justifications, attestation letters, COI requests, reps and certs, vendor onboarding packets), and use AI to curate a reusable answer library so the same question is never researched twice.
What we're looking for:
You have owned complex written deliverables against hard external deadlines, from bid or tender operations, deal desk, sales operations, procurement, or GRC.
Detail at a level most people find excessive; you notice when a figure in paragraph 40 contradicts a figure in paragraph 4, and you fix it.
You can hold a dozen concurrent workstreams with different owners, formats, and deadlines without dropping one.
The credibility to get a busy engineer or lawyer to give you a clear answer, and to still get one the next time you ask.
Genuinely AI-fluent: you build or configure intake, routing, and QA workflows with these tools, and you know which parts of the work a model should never own.
Comfort with strong Excel and Word, whatever a buyer's portal puts in front of you, and AI-assisted drafting and review.
Nice to have: exposure to blockchain analytics, financial crime compliance, AML/CFT, or fintech; familiarity with SOC 2, ISO 27001/27701, Cyber Essentials Plus, FedRAMP, DORA, or GDPR; public-sector procurement frameworks (G-Cloud, SAM.gov, EU tender portals); and working knowledge of Notion, Asana, Slack, and Salesforce.
About the Team:
The Global Deal Desk is where TRM's product claims meet external scrutiny, and the accuracy of these documents is what central banks, federal agencies, and global financial institutions rely on when they decide whether to buy.
Small, high-leverage, detail-obsessed team building the function now; this seat complements the Capture and Proposals Associate.
The work is intellectually demanding: holding entity and certification distinctions correctly under deadline is hard, and it is where a careful operator stands out.
Team Operating Rhythms:
Distributed, not distant. Global and remote; bids open and close on European and US hours, so the working day is set by live submissions rather than one office.
No on-call rotation, no pager, and no weekend expectation; submission weeks have peaks and those are managed inside the week.
Communication is async-first via Slack and Notion, with sync coordination around live bids.
Learn About TRM Speed:
Portal registrations, reps and certs, and insurance packets complete inside 48 hours.
Security questionnaires and diligence packs, including evidence follow-ups, returned inside five business days.
Every arriving request triaged, logged, and assigned an owner the same business day.

The Data Platform team collaborates with an experienced group of data scientists, engineers, and product managers to build highly available and scalable data infrastructure for TRM's products and services. As an Engineering Manager, you will guide your team toward executing mission-critical systems and data services that analyze blockchain transaction activity at petabyte scale. Your contributions will play a pivotal role in building a safer financial system for billions of people.
The impact you'll have here:
• Lead and nurture a team of high-impact engineers, offering guidance in both technical and cultural aspects.
• Provide regular coaching and technical mentorship to your immediate team, while contributing to the broader engineering organization's growth.
• Assume direct responsibility for ensuring the quality and timely delivery of the team's work, while overseeing the availability and performance of critical services.
• Drive projects aligned with well-defined goals and measurable outcomes, accountable to key performance indicators (KPIs).
• Foster best practices in design and usability, creating scalable solutions while emphasizing documentation and knowledge sharing.
• Resolve operational escalations and collaborate with cross-functional teams to address production incidents through resolution.
• Collaborate closely with management and product teams to plan, estimate, and prioritize roadmap objectives, while identifying opportunities and mitigating risks.
• Contribute to the creation of highly reliable data services that seamlessly integrate with numerous blockchains.
• Engineer and optimize ETL pipelines that handle real-time transformation and processing of petabytes of structured and unstructured data.
• Architect data models to ensure efficient storage and retrieval, maintaining sub-second latency for querying blockchain data.
• Oversee the deployment and monitoring of large-scale database clusters, focusing on performance and high availability.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with data scientists, backend engineers, and product managers to design, implement, and refine new data models supporting TRM's products.
What we're looking for:
• 5+ years managing engineers, including a team of roughly 8–15, with scope that has grown over time (more surface area, more people, or more complex systems than when you started).
• Technical depth you still use. You read design docs closely, ask the question that changes the approach, and can unblock an engineer on the hard part. You don't need to be writing production code daily to stay credible.
• A point of view on leadership. You've thought about how you build teams and how you want engineers to work, and you can articulate it. If you've shared it publicly (writing, talks, open source, community), even better.
• You disagree well. You've made the case against a roadmap, a design, or your own leadership, brought evidence, and come out of it still in partnership.

• A Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science or a related field.
• A proven track record with 5+ years of experience conceiving and implementing distributed systems from ideation through production.
• Proficiency in Python, along with strong SQL or SparkSQL experience.

• Infrastructure deployment and monitoring in public cloud environments using Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes, and Datadog.
• Demonstrated ability to load, query, and transform large-scale, complex datasets.

The teams that keep TRM running — Strategic Finance, Legal, People, Operations — are what let us scale a mission-critical platform responsibly, at speed, in a heavily regulated space. As a Team Lead, G&A Recruiter, You’ll own TRM’s most strategic and mission-critical G&A searches while setting the standard for the G&A recruiting pod. You’ll manage your own requisitions, but your impact will extend across the team—driving consistency, raising the bar, and helping the pod operate as a tight, high-performing unit. As the day-to-day peer leader closest to the work, you’ll take meaningful operating overhead off the manager’s plate and help the team move with greater speed and precision.
Your success is measured by the quality, velocity, and business impact of hires across TRM's G&A organization as well as how successfully you mentor your teammates, and how well the pod around you performs.
How this role differs from a Senior or Staff G&A Recruiter: A Senior/Staff recruiter owns their searches exceptionally well. As Team Lead, you own your searches and the operating rhythm, unblocking, experimentation, and outcomes of the whole G&A pod. You’ll set the example for more junior recruiters on what exceptional partnership with executive stakeholders looks like.
The impact you'll have:
Leading the pod:
Run executive level G&A hiring syncs, driving the cadence, priorities, and follow-through for the team and its hiring managers.
Represent the G&A pod in headcount and workforce-planning discussions with Talent leadership, bringing the on-the-ground view from being closest to the department leads.
Bubble up what's happening across the G&A recruiting team — risks, wins, market signals, and blockers — so the manager and VP stay informed.
Drive solutioning and experimentation with the team, testing new sourcing angles, processes, and ideas and unblocking searches when they stall.
Help the team execute on retros and decision docs, turning what you learn into durable improvements.
Shape and roll out new processes and changes to the pod: when the team adopts a new way of working, much of it comes from you.
Owning your own searches:
Own full-cycle recruiting for senior and specialized G&A searches across Strategic Finance, Legal, People, Operations, and other corporate functions.
Act as a strategic talent partner to executive stakeholders; advising on market dynamics, candidate calibration, hiring strategy, and close approach.
Build and execute targeted sourcing strategies that identify, engage, and close exceptional G&A talent from high-growth technology, fintech, crypto, public sector, and financial services environments.
Develop deep market maps for priority searches that include competitive talent, high-performing corporate functions, and referral-driven networks.
Create an exceptional candidate experience for senior and specialized talent, so every touchpoint reflects TRM's talent bar, mission, and operating principles.
Use data, market insight, and funnel conversion metrics to diagnose search health, influence hiring teams, and adjust strategy in real time.
Serve as a craft leader on the Talent team, raising the bar for sourcing, stakeholder management, candidate engagement, and strategic search execution.
What we're looking for:
10+ years of recruiting experience, with 7+ years of experience owning senior G&A searches in high-growth technology companies.
Experience leading or setting direction for a recruiting pod including running hiring syncs, unblocking other recruiters' searches, and driving team experimentation — whether or not you've formally managed people.
A track record of taking operating overhead off a manager's plate: owning team cadence, process rollouts, retros, and decision docs so the group runs as a tight unit.
Proven success hiring senior and specialized talent across Strategic Finance, Legal, People, Operations, and other corporate functions.
Strong search fundamentals including market mapping, talent intelligence, passive candidate engagement, confidential search management, and senior-level closing.
The ability to quickly understand complex corporate roles across finance, legal, compliance, people, operations, and business-critical leadership.
Strong analytical ability to interpret recruiting metrics, funnel health, conversion rates, and pipeline quality, and translate them into action for yourself and the team.
Exceptional stakeholder management, building trust, influencing senior leaders, pushing back thoughtfully, and operating as a strategic advisor throughout the process.
Excellent written and verbal executive presence, including synthesizing market insight, candidate tradeoffs, and search progress clearly for executive audiences.
High ownership, persistence, and judgment in navigating ambiguous, confidential, business-critical searches.
A demonstrated ability to balance speed with quality while holding a high talent bar for G&A hiring.
About the team:
Our talent team is fully remote and async-first. We keep work moving across time zones through Slack, thorough documentation, and proactive updates.
We stay tightly aligned through weekly hiring syncs, team sourcing syncs, and bi-weekly team meetings where we solve challenges together.
We care deeply about our craft: we continuously refine best practices and data quality to deliver an exceptional experience for candidates and internal stakeholders alike, backed by precise, reliable reporting.
We're globally distributed but most of us overlap between 7am–12pm PST for real-time collaboration.
Every team member, wherever they're based, maintains at least a 4-hour overlap with PST business hours.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
Within 72 hours of a role opening, you've scheduled the intake, researched and published the role, and brought 5 calibration profiles to the intake for the hiring manager to review.

We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.
TRM moves quickly. We are a high velocity, high ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and continuous feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it will ship here in days.
Our work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly. The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission. As a result, the way we operate requires a high level of ownership, adaptability, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
At TRM, you should expect:
Priorities and targets to change quickly as we experiment and iterate
Work that often requires operating with a high degree of ambiguity
A high level of personal ownership and accountability
Close collaboration across teams and functions
Frequent, high-touch communication
Creative problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking
A pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes
This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires comfort navigating ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment.
We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure test whether this environment is truly the right fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.
At the same time, many people find this work deeply rewarding.

AI fluency is a baseline expectation at TRM.
We believe AI meaningfully changes how top performers operate. We expect every team member to use AI to accelerate and reimagine their craft, not just automate surface tasks.
At TRM, AI fluency means you are among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to:
Accelerate repeatable workflows
Structure and solve problems
Improve output quality
Increase speed and leverage
You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.
We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They’re the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.
Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment – test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly.
Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.
Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one‑team mindset — giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.
At TRM, we care deeply about our craft. We are looking for individuals who want their work to matter, who experiment with speed and rigor, and who take pride in building a safer world for billions of people. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply — we hire for slope, judgment, and the will to learn fast.

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
TRM's government cloud environment gives public sector investigators the same real-time analytical power our commercial customers rely on, and this role keeps that environment fast, reliable, and compliant as it scales. You'll join the Data Platform Serving team, working on the StarRocks-backed serving layer that sits underneath government cloud investigations, alongside the engineer who currently owns this domain solo. This is a chance to build hands-on distributed systems experience in one of the most operationally demanding environments at TRM: a regulated, high-availability government cloud deployment.
The impact you will have:
You will own performance tuning on the StarRocks serving layer, using AI-assisted query profiling (Claude, internal tooling) to find and fix slow query patterns before they become customer-facing incidents.
You will build and harden data pipelines feeding government cloud investigations, using AI code review workflows to ship reliable changes faster in a high-compliance environment where mistakes are costly.
You will reduce single-point-of-failure risk on GovCloud data infrastructure by becoming the second engineer who can independently operate and troubleshoot the serving layer, cutting incident response time when the primary owner is unavailable.
You will use AI-assisted debugging and log analysis to triage production issues in a regulated environment, turning multi-hour investigations into rapid root-cause fixes.
What we’re looking for:
U.S. citizenship is required for this role due to government cloud data access requirements.
Hands-on experience operating distributed OLAP or serving-layer systems (StarRocks, Trino, ClickHouse, or similar), including query tuning and performance optimization at scale.
Experience owning data pipeline reliability and incident response, and comfort using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate debugging, code review, and documentation.
Independent ownership mindset: you can pick up an unfamiliar piece of production infrastructure, use AI-assisted research and code exploration to ramp quickly, and take on-call responsibility with minimal oversight.
About the Team:
The Data Platform Serving team owns the layer that turns TRM's data into fast, reliable answers for the teams and systems built on top of it.
We're distributed, not distant: the team communicates constantly across Slack and async docs, with a bias toward direct, evidence-based technical discussion.
Decisions are made close to the data: engineers who operate the systems make the calls on architecture and tradeoffs, with input from the broader Data Platform org.
We work closely with Forward Deployed Engineering and Product teams to keep the government cloud environment at parity with our commercial platform.
Team Operating Rhythms:
Weekly team sync to review open incidents, in-flight infrastructure work, and upcoming compliance milestones.
Async daily updates in Slack on pipeline health, ongoing tickets, and blockers.
Sprint-based planning cycles with clear ownership assigned per workstream.
Retro after any production incident to capture learnings and adjust runbooks.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
A production database migration broke search-attribute registration across two environments right before a critical audit deadline. The on-call engineer traced the root cause, shipped a fix, and had both environments passing smoke tests again within the same day.
With a compliance deadline days away, the team needed off-cluster backups for the government cloud database with zero prior tooling in place. An engineer designed and shipped the full backup and restore pipeline — three stacked PRs — in under two weeks.
Audit log retention needed to jump to meet a new compliance floor with no advance notice. The engineer used AI-assisted config generation to update retention policies across the environment and verify compliance the same week.

A pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes
This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires comfort navigating ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment.
We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure test whether this environment is truly the right fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.
At the same time, many people find this work deeply rewarding. If you are excited by meaningful problems, motivated by ambitious goals, and energized by working alongside mission-driven colleagues, there is a good chance you will find TRM to be an exceptional place to grow and contribute.

AI fluency is a baseline expectation at TRM.
We believe AI meaningfully changes how top performers operate. We expect every team member to use AI to accelerate and reimagine their craft, not just automate surface tasks.
At TRM, AI fluency means you are among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to:
Accelerate repeatable workflows
Structure and solve problems
Improve output quality
Increase speed and leverage
You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.
We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They’re the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.
Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment – test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly.
Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.
Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one‑team mindset — giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.
At TRM, we care deeply about our craft. We are looking for individuals who want their work to matter, who experiment with speed and rigor, and who take pride in building a safer world for billions of people. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply — we hire for slope, judgment, and the will to learn fast.

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
TRM's government cloud environment gives public sector investigators the same real-time analytical power our commercial customers rely on, and this role keeps that environment fast, reliable, and compliant as it scales. You'll join the Data Platform Serving team, working on the StarRocks-backed serving layer that sits underneath government cloud investigations, alongside the engineer who currently owns this domain solo. This is a chance to build hands-on distributed systems experience in one of the most operationally demanding environments at TRM: a regulated, high-availability government cloud deployment.
The impact you will have:
You will own performance tuning on the StarRocks serving layer, using AI-assisted query profiling (Claude, internal tooling) to find and fix slow query patterns before they become customer-facing incidents.
You will build and harden data pipelines feeding government cloud investigations, using AI code review workflows to ship reliable changes faster in a high-compliance environment where mistakes are costly.
You will reduce single-point-of-failure risk on GovCloud data infrastructure by becoming the second engineer who can independently operate and troubleshoot the serving layer, cutting incident response time when the primary owner is unavailable.
You will use AI-assisted debugging and log analysis to triage production issues in a regulated environment, turning multi-hour investigations into rapid root-cause fixes.
What we’re looking for:
U.S. citizenship is required for this role due to government cloud data access requirements.
Hands-on experience operating distributed OLAP or serving-layer systems (StarRocks, Trino, ClickHouse, or similar), including query tuning and performance optimization at scale.
Experience owning data pipeline reliability and incident response, and comfort using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate debugging, code review, and documentation.
Independent ownership mindset: you can pick up an unfamiliar piece of production infrastructure, use AI-assisted research and code exploration to ramp quickly, and take on-call responsibility with minimal oversight.
About the Team:
The Data Platform Serving team owns the layer that turns TRM's data into fast, reliable answers for the teams and systems built on top of it.
We're distributed, not distant: the team communicates constantly across Slack and async docs, with a bias toward direct, evidence-based technical discussion.
Decisions are made close to the data: engineers who operate the systems make the calls on architecture and tradeoffs, with input from the broader Data Platform org.
We work closely with Forward Deployed Engineering and Product teams to keep the government cloud environment at parity with our commercial platform.
Team Operating Rhythms:
Weekly team sync to review open incidents, in-flight infrastructure work, and upcoming compliance milestones.
Async daily updates in Slack on pipeline health, ongoing tickets, and blockers.
Sprint-based planning cycles with clear ownership assigned per workstream.
Retro after any production incident to capture learnings and adjust runbooks.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
A production database migration broke search-attribute registration across two environments right before a critical audit deadline. The on-call engineer traced the root cause, shipped a fix, and had both environments passing smoke tests again within the same day.
With a compliance deadline days away, the team needed off-cluster backups for the government cloud database with zero prior tooling in place. An engineer designed and shipped the full backup and restore pipeline — three stacked PRs — in under two weeks.
Audit log retention needed to jump to meet a new compliance floor with no advance notice. The engineer used AI-assisted config generation to update retention policies across the environment and verify compliance the same week.
If you’re interested in joining TRM, we encourage you to apply directly. Every application is reviewed by our Talent team.
Before applying, review the job description carefully and highlight the experience and impact that best demonstrate the required qualifications. Please also provide thoughtful and accurate answers to the application questions, as these will be used to evaluate your qualifications for the role.
If you send your resume directly to someone at TRM, we can’t guarantee it will reach the appropriate hiring team. Applying directly is the best way to ensure you’re considered.
Our process is designed to understand how you think, solve problems, and deliver impact, while giving you the opportunity to evaluate TRM. Most interview processes include a case study, AI skills assessment, and Leadership Principles interview.
Recruiter Intro: Explore your experience, motivations, and alignment with the role.
Hiring Manager: Dive deeper into your relevant experience, skills, and impact.
First Round: Typically 1–2 interviews focused on the skills most critical to the role.
Final Round: Typically 3–5 interviews to go deeper on your craft, problem-solving, and alignment with TRM.
References: We’ll speak with former colleagues who can provide perspective on your work and impact.
Offer: If it’s a mutual fit, your recruiter will walk you through your offer and answer your questions.
Welcome to TRM: Once you sign, we’ll get you ready for your first day and onboarding.

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
TRM's government cloud environment gives public sector investigators the same real-time analytical power our commercial customers rely on, and this role keeps that environment fast, reliable, and compliant as it scales. You'll join the Data Platform Serving team, working on the StarRocks-backed serving layer that sits underneath government cloud investigations, alongside the engineer who currently owns this domain solo. This is a chance to build hands-on distributed systems experience in one of the most operationally demanding environments at TRM: a regulated, high-availability government cloud deployment.
The impact you will have:
You will own performance tuning on the StarRocks serving layer, using AI-assisted query profiling (Claude, internal tooling) to find and fix slow query patterns before they become customer-facing incidents.
You will build and harden data pipelines feeding government cloud investigations, using AI code review workflows to ship reliable changes faster in a high-compliance environment where mistakes are costly.
You will reduce single-point-of-failure risk on GovCloud data infrastructure by becoming the second engineer who can independently operate and troubleshoot the serving layer, cutting incident response time when the primary owner is unavailable.
You will use AI-assisted debugging and log analysis to triage production issues in a regulated environment, turning multi-hour investigations into rapid root-cause fixes.
What we’re looking for:
U.S. citizenship is required for this role due to government cloud data access requirements.
Hands-on experience operating distributed OLAP or serving-layer systems (StarRocks, Trino, ClickHouse, or similar), including query tuning and performance optimization at scale.
Experience owning data pipeline reliability and incident response, and comfort using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate debugging, code review, and documentation.
Independent ownership mindset: you can pick up an unfamiliar piece of production infrastructure, use AI-assisted research and code exploration to ramp quickly, and take on-call responsibility with minimal oversight.
About the Team:
The Data Platform Serving team owns the layer that turns TRM's data into fast, reliable answers for the teams and systems built on top of it.
We're distributed, not distant: the team communicates constantly across Slack and async docs, with a bias toward direct, evidence-based technical discussion.
Decisions are made close to the data: engineers who operate the systems make the calls on architecture and tradeoffs, with input from the broader Data Platform org.
We work closely with Forward Deployed Engineering and Product teams to keep the government cloud environment at parity with our commercial platform.
Team Operating Rhythms:
Weekly team sync to review open incidents, in-flight infrastructure work, and upcoming compliance milestones.
Async daily updates in Slack on pipeline health, ongoing tickets, and blockers.
Sprint-based planning cycles with clear ownership assigned per workstream.
Retro after any production incident to capture learnings and adjust runbooks.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
A production database migration broke search-attribute registration across two environments right before a critical audit deadline. The on-call engineer traced the root cause, shipped a fix, and had both environments passing smoke tests again within the same day.
With a compliance deadline days away, the team needed off-cluster backups for the government cloud database with zero prior tooling in place. An engineer designed and shipped the full backup and restore pipeline — three stacked PRs — in under two weeks.
Audit log retention needed to jump to meet a new compliance floor with no advance notice. The engineer used AI-assisted config generation to update retention policies across the environment and verify compliance the same week.

TRM is hiring a Senior Brand Designer to own meaningful, visible brand design across campaigns, web, social, events, sales and marketing, and reports. As TRM has grown, the brand has become one of its most important assets, and this individual-contributor craft role has real ownership over its own projects, room to take big swings, and the support of a creative team that cares about getting it right. You will work within TRM’s creative direction and help it evolve through the projects you take on.
The impact you will have:
Design and deliver brand work end-to-end at consistently high craft — campaigns, web, social, events, reports, and collateral — using AI to explore more directions before committing while keeping taste human-led.
Apply and extend TRM’s creative direction with strong typographic, layout, imagery, and color decisions, and use AI-assisted workflows to reach a strong first pass faster.
Translate complex, data-heavy subject matter into infographics and data visualizations that land for technical and non-technical audiences, using AI to speed production of variations.
Contribute to and work fluently within TRM’s brand systems, building repeatable AI-assisted brand-asset workflows so the work scales without losing soul — and flag when the system needs to bend.
Bring AI-assisted tools into your iteration, production, and share what you learn so the team builds fluency together; human taste and judgment lead, AI extends range and speed.
Collaborate in critique with strategists, copywriters, and product marketing, and support art direction of external creatives, bringing an AI-informed point of view on where the tools help and where they fall short.
What we’re looking for:
6+ years of brand design experience, including time in high-craft environments (agency, editorial, elevated consumer, or design-forward tech).
An excellent portfolio with strong command of typography, layout, color, and composition, and a clear aesthetic point of view.
An AI-first mindset: hands-on experience bringing generative AI into real creative work, a clear view of where it helps and falls short, and appetite to keep growing those skills.
Fluency in brand systems: designing for scale and consistency without being boxed in.
Proven ability to make complex information land — data visualization, infographics, and editorial design.
Master fluency in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite across digital and print, with experience using component libraries and partnering with external developers.
Autonomy: you scope your own work, ask the right questions early, and bring things to a finished standard without close supervision.
About the Team:
The Brand / Creative team owns how TRM shows up across every channel and cares deeply about craft; this is an IC role with real ownership and room to take big swings.
You will collaborate with brand strategists, copywriters, product marketing, and other designers, and support art direction of external agencies, illustrators, and motion designers.
The team is building an AI-first practice: taste, judgment, and craft stay human-led, and AI extends the range and speed of what the team can explore.
Team Operating Rhythms:
Distributed, not distant: async-first collaboration with critique and focused working sessions for the decisions that matter.
Primary collaboration overlaps US working hours; the team spans the US, Canada, and Argentina.
Feedback-rich culture: thoughtful critique is how the work gets better.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
Within your first 30 days, ship your first brand pieces end-to-end within TRM’s system and creative direction.
Within 60 days, take a flagship campaign or report from brief to delivered at high craft, using AI-assisted exploration to widen the options considered.
Within 90 days, stand up at least one repeatable AI-assisted brand-asset workflow the team adopts, measurably speeding production without lowering the craft bar.
Individual pay is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. The compensation details listed in this posting reflect the US base salary only.

Team & Job Summary:
As a Customer Solutions Engineer at TRM Labs, you own the technical relationship with our US federal and national-security customers — from the first discovery call through live deployment. You will propose business processes and technical architectures, demonstrate and customize the TRM platform, integrate TRM APIs into mission workflows, and support customers in succeeding with our solutions. Your success is measured both by the outcomes customers achieve on the platform and by the expertise you feed back into the Solutions Engineering team.
The impact you will have:
Own and deliver end-to-end TRM solutions, from understanding complex customer requirements to designing advanced business processes, customizing the platform, integrating TRM APIs, and conducting testing and training for maximum customer impact.
Act as the go-to technical consultant during discovery calls with key customers and prospects, documenting intricate technical requirements and guiding solution design.
Present TRM's APIs and architecture, providing detailed guidance on implementation, timelines, and potential challenges, while ensuring alignment with the customer's strategic goals.
Develop and maintain high-quality resources for customer integrations — API documentation, reference architectures, and implementation guides — so onboarding gets faster for every customer after this one.
Cultivate strong relationships with technical stakeholders, providing expert-level support throughout the integration process and troubleshooting issues as they arise.
Stay current with TRM's evolving product features and technical dependencies to keep customer needs and the product roadmap aligned, advocating for enhancements when necessary.
What we’re looking for:
Professional experience in pre- and post-sales roles, such as Solutions Architect, Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, or Customer Success Engineer.
US Citizenship is required for this position (no dual citizenship), driven by our US federal customer base.
Exceptional customer-facing skills, with the ability to empathize with both technical and non-technical audiences and demonstrate how complex solutions meet their business goals.
Proven experience collaborating with engineering and product teams to customize API-based SaaS products at scale, including implementation, testing, and launch.
Comfortable scripting in one or more languages to build PoCs for customers or prototype APIs (e.g. Python, JavaScript, TypeScript).
Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple complex tasks independently while maintaining attention to detail.
High initiative and a proactive approach to identifying opportunities for improvement, both in technical solutions and in team processes.
Bonus: previous experience in AI development is highly preferred.
About the Team:
Solutions Engineering at TRM is a globally distributed, fully remote team that thrives on asynchronous communication and collaboration through Slack channels and detailed documentation.
As a globally distributed team, members may observe different timezones — most of the team overlaps between 8:00am and 5:00pm ET for meetings and collaboration.
We are on the front lines of TRM: experts in our craft, focused on providing support, driving value, and building meaningful relationships with our customers as trusted advisors.
What we learn in the field goes back into the product — this team is a primary source of customer insight for engineering and product.
Team Operating Rhythms:
Weekly Customer Syncs
Bi-weekly health syncs
Associated POD calls with the account team
Regular direct engagement with customers
Required online and collaboration hours:
Schedule: core overlap 8:00am–5:00pm ET
On-Call Responsibilities:
Schedule: No formal on-call rotation. Occasional off-hours availability during live mission operations.
Frequency: Ad hoc — no pager and no 24/7 obligation.
Onsite Requirements:
Schedule: Remote-first, US-based
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
Timely documentation: You will deliver integration documents within 1–2 days by prioritizing tasks, reusing existing content, and focusing strictly on the document's goal.
Immediate contingency solutions: You will resolve urgent customer issues by quickly assessing the situation and providing immediate alternatives — like manually exporting critical data if a fix takes longer.
Fast proof of concept: You will put a working scripted PoC in front of a customer within days of understanding the requirement, rather than waiting on an engineering cycle.
If you’re interested in joining TRM, we encourage you to apply directly. Every application is reviewed by our Talent team.

Marketing Operations owns the systems the marketing organization runs on: the MarTech stack, the data that describes our funnel, and increasingly the AI agents that do the work. The Marketing Technology Engineer owns the automation and AI layer of that stack — building the agents and automations that remove manual work from the team, and making sure they keep running and keep producing output we can trust. This is a technical role inside a marketing function, and the marketing half is not optional.
The impact you'll have here:
Own the operating layer for marketing's agent fleet end to end — provisioning, output verification, monitoring, alerting, and incident response. Nothing counts as shipped until it has run for real and its output has been checked.
Design and build agentic processes, skills, and automations that remove manual work from the team, and decide — with marketing judgment — which are worth building at all.
Instrument what we build so usage, output, and value are visible to leadership, and so agents improve from feedback rather than staying frozen at launch.
Consolidate how core marketing concepts are defined across tools and agents — territory, lead scoring stages, MQL and MQA, pipeline stages, targets — so automations and dashboards cannot quietly disagree, including across two product lines.
Own the MarTech stack — configuration, administration, and integration — and build in a way the campaign execution team can extend without engineering support for routine work.
What we're looking for:
Prior marketing or marketing operations experience — required, not preferred. You already understand funnel and attribution logic, lead scoring, send-cadence and deliverability norms, and list hygiene and consent rules. This role has no downstream reviewer for marketing correctness.
You have personally operated something unattended. A pipeline, integration, or agent that ran on its own, broke without telling you, and taught you to verify output rather than trust a green status. Scale matters less than the scar tissue.
A track record of building production automation inside a GTM function — Clay, Zapier, Workato, n8n, or similar — where what you built was depended on by other people and you were the one who owned it.
Evidence you have moved from no-code stitching into code and repository practice: version control, code review, CI, testing, and deploying into a shared repo rather than a personal account.
Technical baseline: working proficiency in SQL and Python, solid REST API fundamentals, familiarity with secrets management for credentials and API keys, enough data-warehouse fluency (for example BigQuery) to query and reason about data models, and hands-on administration of HubSpot and Salesforce.
Nice to have:
Direct experience with Claude, or with n8n.
Experience building multi-step enrichment waterfalls in Clay or similar that others depend on.
Exposure to observability or data-quality practices — monitoring, alerting, freshness and anomaly checks — in any prior role.
Experience supporting more than one product line, where the same metric has to be correct in two motions at once.
About the Team:
Marketing Operations is a distributed, not distant team that owns the systems the marketing organization runs on.
The work is intellectually difficult because the same metric has to stay correct across two product lines and multiple tools and agents at once.
Ownership is high: this role makes consequential marketing decisions without a downstream reviewer.
Individual pay is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. The compensation details listed in this posting reflect the US base salary only.
The estimated base salary range for this role is $150,000–$190,000 USD.
Additionally, this role may be eligible to participate in TRM’s equity plan.

Identify and pursue high-value opportunities with government agencies, regulators, and other public-sector institutions.
Represent TRM externally at conferences, government forums, practitioner events, and industry convenings, turning public presence and private conversations into qualified opportunities.
Partner with Sales, Product, Marketing, and Policy to convert strategic access into qualified pipeline, customer opportunities, product signal, and durable market advantage.
Turn market, technology, and regulatory shifts into an early-warning system for TRM, helping the company spot opportunities and risks before competitors do.
Close the loop between field signal and internal strategy by feeding practitioner insight, agency priorities, procurement dynamics, objections, and regional market intelligence back into TRM’s product and go-to-market teams.
What We're Looking For
Established network across Australia & New Zealand government, regulatory bodies, or public-sector practitioner circles
Comfortable as a public voice for TRM: conferences, panels, government forums
Experience translating relationships into concrete opportunities, not just warm intros
Already uses AI for research, prospecting, and pipeline management, with a concrete example to point to
Hard Requirements
Based remotely within Australia & New Zealand
Willing to travel 30-40%
Existing relationships in Australia & New Zealand public sector / government space

We're looking for a Blockchain Intelligence Analyst to operate as a high-judgment, high-autonomy individual contributor specializing in ransomware. In this role, you'll leverage blockchain analytics, cyber threat intelligence, and cryptocurrency attribution to trace ransomware proceeds, identify threat actor infrastructure, and generate actionable intelligence that supports investigations, disruption efforts, and evidentiary workflows.
This is not a people-management role. We're looking for an experienced analyst who can independently lead complex investigations, develop high-confidence assessments, uncover novel attribution, and elevate the team's tradecraft through technical expertise, mentorship, and example.
You should be equally comfortable tracing funds across blockchains, identifying laundering and cash-out infrastructure, correlating technical, financial, and behavioral signals, and synthesizing fragmented data into clear, defensible intelligence that enables internal and external partners to make informed operational decisions.
The Impact You Will Have:
Produce impactful finished intelligence on ransomware actors, affiliates, facilitators, and laundering pathways, including actor profiles, lead packages, attribution assessments, and operational reporting suitable for investigative, executive, and partner audiences.
Lead complex end-to-end blockchain investigations from initial seed indicators such as victim payment addresses, deposit addresses, transactions, exchange exposure, infrastructure leads, or IP-linked activity through to full attribution and actionable recovery or disruption opportunities.
Trace ransomware-related funds across multiple blockchains, bridges, mixers, peel chains, and nested services, identifying controllers, counterparties, cash-out services, and recovery touchpoints.
Correlate on-chain activity with OSINT, threat intelligence, attribution partner data, and off-chain identity or infrastructure signals to build a complete picture of adversary behavior within the broader cybercrime ecosystem.
Own investigative workstreams from discovery through validation, escalation, and written production, including drafting intelligence products that are source-cited, auditable, and operationally useful.
Support TRM’s ransomware asset recovery mission by surfacing high-quality leads, identifying seizure or freeze opportunities, and helping partners move quickly before funds are off-ramped.
Drive analytical leadership across active ransomware investigations by prioritizing work, maintaining rigorous standards, and mentoring other analysts without formal people management responsibilities.
Partner closely with internal and external stakeholders, including investigators, threat intelligence teammates, product teams, and public-sector or private-sector partners, to ensure analytical outputs reflect real investigative tradecraft and support cross-functional operations.
Help strengthen TRM’s ransomware coverage by contributing new attribution, refining investigative methodologies, and improving repeatable workflows for lead generation and asset recovery support.
Support external briefings, customer or partner engagements, and capability-building sessions where ransomware tracing, attribution, and recovery tradecraft must be explained clearly and credibly.
You generate meaningful attribution, investigative leads, and recovery opportunities in ransomware cases where the answers are not obvious and the financial trail is deliberately obscured.
You consistently produce finished intelligence that partners trust and use in operational, investigative, and strategic contexts.
Your work helps TRM and its partners move faster on high-priority ransomware activity without sacrificing rigor, auditability, or defensibility.
You improve team capability by mentoring peers, refining tradecraft, and strengthening repeatable workflows for ransomware investigations and asset recovery support.
You help make blockchain-enabled financial intelligence a differentiator in how TRM understands, attributes, and disrupts ransomware activity across the cybercrime ecosystem.
3-5+ years of professional experience in blockchain intelligence, crypto investigations, cybercrime analysis, threat intelligence, financial crime investigations, or a comparable senior analytical role.
Blockchain tracing expertise — Deep hands-on experience tracing funds across multiple blockchains and through laundering or obfuscation techniques such as mixers, chain-hopping, bridges, peel chains, and layered cash-out behavior.
Extensive investigative tradecraft — Demonstrated ability to independently run complex investigations and synthesize findings into clear written intelligence products, including investigative assessments, lead packages, fund-flow analysis, and attribution reporting.
Ransomware domain expertise — including a deep understanding of the broader cybercrime ecosystem and the relationships among ransomware operators, affiliates, initial access brokers, malware developers, laundering networks, and cash-out services.
Excellent written and verbal communication — especially the ability to turn technically complex tracing findings into understandable, actionable intelligence for government and private-sector audiences.
Judgment and execution — Strong judgment, curiosity, and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment where timing matters and outputs must still stand up to scrutiny.
AI fluency — Experience leveraging AI tools and large language models (LLMs) to accelerate research, surface insights, and augment analytical workflows, with the ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs for accuracy and relevance.
Experience in government, national security, law enforcement, incident response, or mature private-sector investigative or threat intelligence programs.
Familiarity with OSINT, cybercrime infrastructure research, and cross-domain analytical methods that combine blockchain activity with off-chain signals and adversary behavior.
Comfort with modern investigative tooling, including AI and structured data environments such as TRM, Maltego, Palantir, or similar platforms.
Experience conducting HUMINT collection and engaging threat actors via dark web forums and encrypted messaging platforms.
Experience mentoring peers, shaping analytical standards, or improving investigative workflows without formal people management.
Advanced practitioner-level knowledge of crypto forensics concepts such as manual demixing, smart contracts, bridges, Ethereum- and TRON-based investigations, and OSINT-based data extraction.
Recognized subject matter depth, broader organizational influence, and a track record of shaping methodology or high-priority investigative strategy beyond individual case execution.
Weekly team syncs to align targeting priorities and review disruption opportunities
Daily async standups via Slack on active work, returns, and target packages in flight
Primary time zone overlap: US Eastern / Central
All output documented in Notion and TRM’s investigative tools
Surge availability expected during time-sensitive disruption windows

At TRM Labs, our Deployment Strategy team sits on the front lines of customer success, turning blockchain intelligence into measurable outcomes for the crypto businesses, financial institutions, and fintechs that rely on TRM. As a Senior Deployment Strategist for the North America private sector, you will own a portfolio of strategic commercial accounts, validate what success means for each customer, and drive adoption, retention, and expansion as their trusted advisor. What makes this role unique at TRM is the blend of senior IC autonomy, direct access to the economic buyers shaping crypto compliance programs, and the mandate to build the private-sector playbooks the rest of the team will run.
The impact you will have:
Own the success of TRM's most strategic North America private-sector accounts, using AI (e.g., Claude) to turn customer calls and account data into 30/60/90-day success plans you validate against a named OSM and Economic Buyer.
Protect and grow private-sector revenue: defend GRR by getting ahead of churn, and surface and validate expansion opportunities as CSQLs with Account Directors to grow NRR.
Cut QBR and executive-briefing prep from days to hours by using AI to draft briefs, decks, and follow-ups that you refine with your own judgment.
Catch risk and opportunity early by using AI to triage customer-health and usage signals across your book daily.
Make the whole team faster by building reusable AI prompts, templates, and workflows that other Deployment Strategists adopt.
Serve as the Voice of the Customer, using AI to synthesize feedback from calls and tickets into structured input that shapes the Product and Engineering roadmap.
What we’re looking for:
5+ years in crypto businesses, financial institutions, or fintechs (compliance, investigative, or customer-facing functions), with a habit of using AI tools to work faster.
Hands-on financial crime, AML, sanctions, or investigations experience, and comfort applying AI to accelerate research and case work.
A track record of owning senior stakeholder relationships and driving retention and expansion, supported by AI-assisted account planning and reporting.
Fluency using AI tools (e.g., Claude) to accelerate research, drafting, and analysis, with sound judgment on when to trust vs verify output.
Ability to build reusable AI-assisted workflows and templates that scale beyond yourself.
Clear communication that distills complex technical and investigative concepts for audiences from analysts to senior executives.
About the Team:
TRM's Customer Success org is globally distributed and works async-first, thriving on Slack and thorough documentation, with weekly customer syncs, bi-weekly health syncs, and regular pod calls.
The North America Deployment Strategy pod owns the private-sector book (crypto businesses, financial institutions, and fintechs) and operates as trusted advisors, not a ticket queue.
The work is intellectually demanding: you engage compliance and investigations leaders as a peer, reason about real financial crime, and translate it into product value.
The team sets a high bar on AI fluency, expecting every DS to use AI as a force multiplier and to share what works.
Team Operating Rhythms:
Distributed, not distant: async-first collaboration with core overlap for North America hours.
Weekly customer syncs and bi-weekly customer-health syncs.
Regular pod calls and customer QBRs.

We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.
TRM moves quickly. We are a high velocity, high ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and continuous feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it will ship here in days.
Our work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly. The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission. As a result, the way we operate requires a high level of ownership, adaptability, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
At TRM, you should expect:
Priorities and targets to change quickly as we experiment and iterate
Work that often requires operating with a high degree of ambiguity
A high level of personal ownership and accountability
Close collaboration across teams and functions
Frequent, high-touch communication
Creative problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking
A pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes
This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires comfort navigating ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment.
We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure test whether this environment is truly the right fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.
At the same time, many people find this work deeply rewarding. If you are excited by meaningful problems, motivated by ambitious goals, and energized by working alongside mission-driven colleagues, there is a good chance you will find TRM to be an exceptional place to grow and contribute.

AI fluency is a baseline expectation at TRM.
We believe AI meaningfully changes how top performers operate. We expect every team member to use AI to accelerate and reimagine their craft, not just automate surface tasks.
At TRM, AI fluency means you are among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to:
Accelerate repeatable workflows
Structure and solve problems
Improve output quality
Increase speed and leverage
You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.
We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They’re the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.
Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment – test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly.
Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.
Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one‑team mindset — giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.
At TRM, we care deeply about our craft. We are looking for individuals who want their work to matter, who experiment with speed and rigor, and who take pride in building a safer world for billions of people. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply — we hire for slope, judgment, and the will to learn fast.

The use of AI tools of any kind (including but not limited to notetakers, interview assistants, and real-time coaching tools such as Otter.ai, Fireflies, Fathom, Cluey, or similar) during TRM interviews is not permitted without prior approval from TRM.

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
The Global Deal Desk sits between the sales team and closed revenue on every deal that runs through a formal procurement, security review, or RFP, which describes most of what TRM sells to governments, law enforcement, and financial institutions. Capture is the front half: engaging before an RFP exists, helping a customer define what they need, and positioning TRM as the answer rather than one of several responses to a fixed question list.
We are building this function now, so you will help build the machine: the playbook, the answer library, and the AI tooling that lets the desk answer more without lowering the standard.
The impact you will have:
Own proposal execution end to end on standard-tier pursuits: responses, compliance matrices, portal Q&A, and submission, turning technically correct answers into genuinely compelling ones.
Build the response engine: own the agentic tooling that drafts and manages responses from approved source material, so the desk scales on leverage rather than headcount.
Build the answer library and the playbook so a question answered once is never researched twice, and a new pursuit starts from something rather than nothing.
Orchestrate the cross-functional work: sequence Product, Legal, Security, Pricing, and Customer Success so a complex pursuit converges on a date instead of arriving at one.
Keep the function learning: run the gate reviews, the after-action reviews, and the AI-supported knowledge base that make the next bid cheaper than the last.
Sharpen win strategy: research the customer, competitors, and requirement, and over time help shape the pursuit itself.
What we're looking for:
An exceptional writer who makes complex material clear and answers a requirement as written rather than around it.
Genuinely AI-fluent: you already build with these tools, you know which parts a model should never own, and you can tell a right answer from one that only reads well.
Sharp, curious, and fast on ambiguous problems; you can take a 700-question workbook nobody has read and turn it into a plan.
Highly organized under real deadlines, able to run several high-stakes workstreams at once without dropping threads.
Strong with people: you can coordinate senior stakeholders who do not report to you and get what you need.
Genuinely excited to build something new and to own it as it grows.
Nice to have: exposure to capture, proposals, bids, or RFP responses in commercial or public-sector and government contracting; familiarity with blockchain, crypto, fintech, compliance, or the national security and law enforcement space; APMP membership or equivalent; additional languages.
About the Team:
Small, high-standard team building the capture function now; this seat works directly with the Capture Director, Head of Global Deal Desk, regional VPs, and account directors, plus Product, Legal, Security, and Finance.
The work is intellectually demanding: shaping a pursuit before an RFP exists, and turning correct answers into compelling ones under a scored process.
You own it as it grows, with a clear path to shaping and running larger pursuits.
Team Operating Rhythms:
Distributed, not distant. Global and remote; the working day is set by live submissions rather than one office.
No on-call rotation and no weekend expectation; submission weeks have peaks managed inside the week.
Communication is async-first via Slack and Notion, with sync coordination around live pursuits.
Learn About TRM Speed:
A major tender of 500 or more questions goes from intake to a first full draft with the reviewer in five working days.
A mid-size RFP, RFQ, or multi-tab workbook is returned inside five business days, and a sole-source letter or pricing narrative inside 24 hours.
Any question answered for the first time is in the answer library within 24 hours, so the next bid that asks it costs minutes.

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
We are looking for an Insights Editor to help scale our blockchain intelligence content engine. In this role, you will lead the creation of data-driven intelligence products, including reports, briefs, and insights blogs, that increase TRM's share of voice and position us as the most trusted public source on crypto-related financial crime.
Sitting within the intelligence team, you will work at the intersection of global investigations, threat intelligence, data science, and policy. You will translate complex, sometimes ambiguous analytical work into clear, accurate, and compelling narratives for a range of audiences, from law enforcement and regulators to financial institutions and the broader public.
If you are an exceptional writer and editor who thrives in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment, and you're excited about using data and investigative work to tell important stories about financial crime, this role is for you.
The impact you will have:
Lead intelligence product development: Generate, scope, edit, and distribute intelligence products, for both public and private distribution, that support TRM's commercial, policy, and brand objectives. Produce scoping documents defining the key questions, core narrative, and data requirements for each product, in close partnership with analytical anchors and other SMEs. Own the full editorial process from concept and outline through drafting, edits, approvals, and publication. Maintain a recurring cadence of proactive products for law enforcement, government, and private-sector distribution — managing intake, editorial review, compliance checks, and routing end-to-end. Produce quick-turn reactive content — responses to sanctions announcements, enforcement actions, and breaking developments in crypto crime — on tight timelines without sacrificing accuracy or editorial standards. Use AI to drive independent research while maintaining quality, readability, and accuracy.
Write, edit, and de-risk content: Author and edit intelligence products for clarity, structure, style, and impact while adhering to TRM's voice, style, and legal/risk guidelines. Verify and cross-check the accuracy of data, references, and claims, working with analysts, data teams, and AI tools to reconcile discrepancies and edge cases. Apply and continuously improve our data de-risking standards. Provide a clear perspective on the best visual representations of data and narratives — charts, figures, tables, diagrams — collaborating with design and analytics to implement them.
Partner with analysts and stakeholders: Work closely with threat intelligence, global investigations, data science, product, policy, and marketing to identify the most impactful stories emerging from our data and investigative work. Maintain an effective cadence for scanning the landscape — media, policy, enforcement actions, and internal intel — to propose timely, differentiated storylines. Act as a thought partner to analysts and investigators, helping shape research questions, analytical frames, and audience targeting. Work with go-to-market on data-driven pieces for clients, prospects, and sales cycles, and develop products framed specifically for government and law enforcement audiences.
Operate and improve the production engine: Manage project plans, milestones, and stakeholder communication, clearly flagging progress, blockers, and exit criteria at each stage of our shipping framework. Ensure each product follows a clear narrative spine, uses consistent terminology and formatting, and aligns with TRM's risk appetite and strategic priorities. Facilitate or contribute to retrospectives after flagship publications, capturing lessons learned. Maintain and improve scalable systems for organizing drafts, data, and dependencies.
What we're looking for — core qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Journalism, International Relations, Government, Economics, Security Studies, or a related field; advanced degree a plus
7+ years of professional experience in writing and editing data- or research-driven content (investigative reporting, think tank / policy research, intelligence analysis, or similar)
Exceptional command of the English language, including grammar, structure, and style, with a proven ability to simplify complex material without sacrificing accuracy
Demonstrated experience editing others' work for clarity, narrative coherence, and tone, including providing constructive feedback to subject-matter experts
Strong research and fact-checking skills; comfortable working with both quantitative data and qualitative sources (OSINT, court filings, enforcement actions)
Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, meet tight deadlines, and operate in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
Domain and technical skills:
Familiarity with cryptocurrency, blockchain, financial crime, or adjacent domains (sanctions, fraud, cybercrime, AML/CTF, illicit finance), or a demonstrated ability to ramp quickly on technical subject matter
Comfort collaborating with data and analytics teams — reading charts, interrogating data caveats, and discussing methodology at a non-technical level
Experience with content management, editorial workflow, or collaboration tools (Google Docs, Notion, project trackers, Slack)
Comfort using and iterating on AI tools while maintaining an insistence on the highest-quality outputs
Nice to have:
Prior experience in investigations, national security, intelligence or law enforcement environments — or in think tanks, research institutes, or policy shops producing external-facing analysis
Experience shaping content for different audiences (public sector vs private sector; technical vs executive; public vs client-only)
Background working in a remote, globally distributed team across multiple time zones
Experience measurably improving engagement with published work — readership, lead conversion, or customer action taken on what was published
About the Team:
You'll be a core member of the Blockchain Intelligence (Insights) team, partnering daily with analysts, investigators, policy experts, and GTM stakeholders.
Team Operating Rhythms:
TRM Speed: we prioritize high-judgment speed — shipping timely, well-de-risked content on tight timelines (6–12 hours for current events when needed) while maintaining a very high quality bar
Within Insights we typically reserve 7 AM–11 AM PT for live collaboration; outside that we work async and rely heavily on written communication and documentation.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position — within the first 3–6 months, a successful Insights Editor will typically:
Scope and lead at least one major intelligence product end-to-end in collaboration with analytical anchors and other stakeholders
Ship multiple smaller intelligence products with minimal friction through our shipping framework
Effectively deploy TRM's AI tools into their daily process
Demonstrate strong command of TRM's data sources, tagging, and models — enough to question, refine, and occasionally challenge initial analytical conclusions or framing
Be seen as a go-to editor for high-stakes external intelligence content — trusted to elevate clarity and impact while protecting TRM's credibility and risk posture

\"At TRM, we believe the people we hire will determine how far and how fast we can go in our mission to build a safer world for billions of people. That’s why we’re building a Talent team that sees recruiting as a craft and a competitive advantage, people who challenge assumptions, move with urgency, and are energized by building exceptional teams to solve incredibly hard problems. If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.\"
– Alicia Strait, VP of Talent, TRM Labs
The people who build TRM’s Sales organization determine how far and how fast our mission travels. Every hire shapes the markets we win-from public sector and defense to financial institutions and crypto—and how effectively our blockchain intelligence reaches the front lines of financial crime.
As the Team Lead, Sales Recruiter, you’ll own TRM’s most critical searches across Sales and Go-to-Market while serving as a mentor and force multiplier for the recruiting pod. You’ll manage your own requisitions, but your impact will extend beyond your desk through team initiatives, stronger operating rhythms, shared best practices, and day-to-day peer leadership.
You’ll help the team operate as a cohesive, high-performing unit while prioritization, calibration, problem-solving, and execution. Your success will be measured by the quality, velocity, and business impact of your hires—as well as your ability to mentor teammates and elevate the performance of the broader Sales recruiting pod.
How this role differs from a Senior or Staff Recruiter: You’ll own not only your searches, but also the operating rhythm, unblocking, experimentation, and outcomes of the broader sales recruiting pod. You’ll set the standard for exceptional partnership with executive stakeholders and model excellence for the team.
The impact you'll have:
Leading the pod:
Run executive level Sales hiring syncs, driving the cadence, priorities, and follow-through for the team and its hiring managers.
Represent the Sales pod in headcount and workforce-planning discussions with Talent leadership, bringing the on-the-ground view from being closest to the department leads.
Bubble up what's happening across the Sales recruiting team — risks, wins, market signals, and blockers — so the manager and VP stay informed.
Drive solutioning and experimentation with the team, testing new sourcing angles, processes, and ideas and unblocking searches when they stall.
Help the team execute on retros and decision docs, turning what you learn into durable improvements.
Shape and roll out new processes and changes to the pod: when the team adopts a new way of working, much of it comes from you.
Owning your own searches:
Own full-cycle recruiting for Director+ Sales leadership searches across TRM's global Sales organization.
Act as a strategic talent partner to executive stakeholders; advising on market dynamics, candidate calibration, hiring strategy, and close approach.
Build and execute targeted sourcing strategies that identify, engage, and close exceptional Sales talent from high-growth technology, fintech, crypto, public sector, and financial services environments.
Develop deep market maps for priority searches that include competitive talent, high-performing corporate functions, and referral-driven networks.
Create an exceptional candidate experience for senior and specialized talent, so every touchpoint reflects TRM's talent bar, mission, and operating principles.
Use data, market insight, and funnel conversion metrics to diagnose search health, influence hiring teams, and adjust strategy in real time.
Serve as a craft leader on the Talent team, raising the bar for sourcing, stakeholder management, candidate engagement, and strategic search execution.
What we're looking for:
10+ years of recruiting experience, with 7+ years of experience owning senior GTM and Sales leadership searches in high-growth technology companies.
Experience leading or setting direction for a recruiting pod including running hiring syncs, unblocking other recruiters' searches, and driving team experimentation — whether or not you've formally managed people.
A track record of taking operating overhead off a manager's plate: owning team cadence, process rollouts, retros, and decision docs so the group runs as a tight unit.
Proven success hiring senior and specialized talent across Sales and Sales Leadership
Strong search fundamentals including market mapping, talent intelligence, passive candidate engagement, confidential search management, and senior-level closing.
The ability to quickly understand complex corporate roles across sales functions.
Strong analytical ability to interpret recruiting metrics, funnel health, conversion rates, and pipeline quality, and translate them into action for yourself and the team.
Exceptional stakeholder management, building trust, influencing senior leaders, pushing back thoughtfully, and operating as a strategic advisor throughout the process.
Excellent written and verbal executive presence, including synthesizing market insight, candidate tradeoffs, and search progress clearly for executive audiences.
High ownership, persistence, and judgment in navigating ambiguous, confidential, business-critical searches.
A demonstrated ability to balance speed with quality while holding a high talent bar for sales hiring.

Once TRM wins a customer, our Post-Sales, Investigations, and Compliance teams are what turn that relationship into real impact. These teams help agencies build cases, help institutions manage risk, and help customers get lasting value from our platform.
As a Team Lead, Post-Sales Recruiter, you’ll own TRM’s most strategic and mission-critical searches across Customer Success, Global Investigations, Compliance, and Revenue Operations while serving as a mentor and force multiplier for the recruiting pod.

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
Sextortion — extorting money or further imagery from victims, disproportionately minors, under threat of releasing explicit images — has been named a national emergency by the FBI and NCMEC, and financial sextortion cases have been directly linked to a rise in teen suicides. In parallel, CSAM distribution networks increasingly monetize through cryptocurrency, using crypto's speed and pseudonymity to move money across borders faster than any single agency can follow.
TRM's Severe Harms pod exists to close that gap. We fuse on-chain and off-chain intelligence to trace the financial rails behind this abuse, working alongside Law Enforcement and Government Partners, and TRM's financial-institution and exchange partners to identify offenders, disrupt activity, and support victim identification and safeguarding. It is some of the most consequential and difficult work at TRM.
As a Severe Harms All-Source Investigator, you will be one of the investigators running that flywheel every day — tracing the financial rails behind sextortion and CSAM monetization, building the target packages and legal-process returns that lead to disruption, and working cases from referral through to an actionable outcome.
This is an individual-contributor role for someone who wants to do the work directly, not manage it. You will build genuine casework skill on some of the most consequential and difficult material at TRM, with a manager and a Lead Investigator supporting your growth.
Work your caseload. Run point on target packages from referral to disruption: legal process → on-chain/off-chain fusion → targeting, on your own cases under normal review.
Run all-source collection. Combine OSINT, link analysis, and direct engagement with subjects and sources to identify and attribute actors — not just trace the money.
Build defensible, actionable outputs. Every attribution write-up and legal-process return you produce should hold up when tested by Law Enforcement and Government Partners, or a court — with growing independence over time.
Map networks, not just events. Build a picture of how a network actually operates, rather than a catalogue of isolated indicators.
Use AI to accelerate your own casework. Apply it where it genuinely speeds up or sharpens your work, and know where human judgment has to stay in the loop given the sensitivity of the material.
Partner across the ecosystem. Work directly with legal, engineering, and external partners on the specific leads and referrals in front of you.
Practice victim-centered, trauma-informed investigative work, and follow TRM's protocols for evidence handling, escalation, and mandatory reporting.
Take care of yourself and your teammates. Actively manage your own content exposure and psychological well-being, and know when and how to ask for support.
You are an operator. 3–5 years of relevant investigative or casework experience — illicit-finance, financial-crime, cybercrime, trust & safety, all-source intelligence, OSINT, or direct human-source engagement, or a comparable law-enforcement/intelligence-adjacent background. You have taken a body of information and driven it to a real outcome, not just written a report about it.
Real collection capability, whether that's hands-on experience building or adapting tools to pull signal from open web, social, and forum sources, or direct experience engaging subjects and sources yourself. Ideally you've done some of both, but real strength in one is enough.
You know how to work a case with other people, not just alone. You can point to investigations you've co-run with another investigator, or handed off cleanly without losing momentum.
You're comfortable working to someone else's clock. You've delivered real answers under RFI-style pressure — a partner or requester needing something in hours or days, not on a self-paced research timeline — and can point to examples.
Genuine interest in, and some exposure to, child exploitation, sextortion, or closely adjacent investigative work, including CT or Serious Organised Crime. We will teach you the ecosystem specifics; we are looking for the instinct and resilience for this material, plus at least some track record adjacent to it.
AI fluency (required). You use AI in your own work today and have a clear, honest view of where it helps and where it does not — especially given the sensitivity of this material.
Working knowledge of legal process — subpoenas, warrants, preservation requests — or a fast willingness to learn it. You do not need to be a lawyer; you need to understand how high-quality investigative documentation supports downstream action.
Solid written communication. You can produce a clear, defensible written package under review.
Sound judgment with difficult material. The maturity to work with emotionally demanding content without it compromising your judgment or your well-being.
Fully remote, US- or UK-based. Expect occasional travel, unevenly distributed, with periodic DC-based working sessions.
Crypto or on-chain experience. A genuine advantage, but we teach on-chain tradecraft — we cannot teach the instinct built from years investigating crimes against children.
Sextortion/CSAM-ecosystem familiarity. Direct experience with financial sextortion schemes, CSAM distribution networks, or platform-based grooming and extortion patterns will shorten your ramp considerably, but the team knows this ecosystem well and can bring you up to speed on it.
Given the sensitivity of the material and data handled, successful completion of an enhanced background check is required as a condition of employment.
The Severe Harms pod operates within TRM's Primary Intelligence organization, alongside the other threat categories comprised of threat intelligence analysts, on-chain investigators and data scientists.
Distributed team with an async-first approach via Slack and Notion, plus structured syncs for alignment.
High autonomy, high standards, low bureaucracy — you work directly with engineers, analysts, legal counterparts, and the partners and customers who depend on the team's output.
Weekly 1:1 with your manager
Weekly team sync covering active work, throughput, and escalations
6-week performance pulse check-in
Quarterly career-pathing conversation
Mandatory wellness check-ins and access to specialized counseling/EAP resources, on a standing cadence

Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
TRM's Intel team runs at the intersection of intelligence analysts, back-end systems, and AI. This role sits at that intersection. Its mandate is to make TRM's intelligence collection meaningfully better with AI. You'll work directly alongside our intel analysts to understand how they collect and act on intelligence, then build the AI-powered products, tooling, and infrastructure that let them do it faster and at greater scale.
We're looking for a senior engineer with genuine product sense, someone who can sit with a semi-technical analyst, see past the surface-level request, and identify the highest-impact, scalable thing to build. The failure mode we're explicitly hiring against is an engineer who rapidly ships a pile of narrow automations that pick at minor annoyances but don't move the needle. We want sticky, real products that advance the mission.
This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to stay deeply technical while also shaping what gets built, not just how.
The impact you’ll have here:
Embed directly with our intel analysts to deeply understand their goals, constraints, and workflows, then translate those into technical solutions with clear success criteria.
Identify the highest-leverage opportunities to improve intelligence collection — bringing a product lens to prioritization, not just an engineering one — and productize your work so it's adopted and durable.
Design, build, and own AI-powered internal applications end-to-end: back-end services, APIs, data storage, the back-end infrastructure they run on, and user-facing interfaces.
Develop custom agentic solutions leveraging state-of-the-art models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) to augment and scale intelligence workflows.
Own projects end-to-end — technical design, architecture, scoping, delivery, iteration, and ongoing support.
Build reliable, scalable systems on which analysts depend day to day.
Continuously evaluate impact and iterate based on real outcomes for the Intel team.
What we’re looking for:
6+ years full-stack software engineering experience building scalable web applications, services, and APIs
Strong product sense — the ability to zoom out, spot the highest-impact and most scalable solution, and ship it as something people actually keep using. This is the bar-raising skill for this role.
Proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript, with strong back-end and systems engineering skills.
Experience building backend systems, working with various datastores such as (Postgres/pgvector, Pinecone, Redis) and designing APIs.
Demonstrated curiosity and hands-on experience with AI tools and applications - using modern AI models, agentic IDEs, or building AI-enabled workflows or prototypes.
A high degree of ownership and initiative, with the ability to operate independently in ambiguous problem spaces
Strong communication and the ability to build trust with semi-technical stakeholders (our analysts) and explain technical trade-offs clearly.
We're deliberately open on background: a strong back-end/systems engineer and a strong data/ML-leaning engineer can both thrive here. Seniority, sharpness, drive, and product sense matter more than a specific profile.
About the Team:
The team operates on a weekly sprint schedule. Individuals on the team are tasked to lead projects as technical anchors, and given a chance to grow and take ownership according to their level and goals. We work closely with our internal stakeholders to deliver impactful features to our internal customers and the company.
The team’s culture is built on psychological safety wherein team members build rapport and trust-based relationships with teammates, hold each other accountable and to a high bar, collaborate extensively, and have lots of fun along the way.
The team’s timezone is a mix of EST and PST with at least 6 hours of overlap with PST (8 am to 2 pm PST)
On-Call: We have an on-call rotation that is specific to internal tools. In this role, the internal tools engineer is responsible for triaging customer support requests from specific Slack channels pertaining to internal tools.
About TRM's Engineering Levels:
Engineer: Responsible for helping to define project milestones and executing small decision decisions independently with the appropriate tradeoffs between simplicity, readability, and performance. Provides mentorship to junior engineers, and enhances operational excellence through tech debt reduction and knowledge sharing.
Senior Engineer: Successfully designs and documents system improvements and features for an OKR/project from the ground up. Consistently delivers efficient and reusable systems, optimizes team throughput with appropriate tradeoffs, mentors team members, and enhances cross-team collaboration through documentation and knowledge sharing.
Staff Engineer: Drives scoping and execution of one or more OKRs/projects that impact multiple teams. Partners with stakeholders to set the team vision and technical roadmaps for one or more products. Is a role model and mentor to the entire engineering organization. Ensures system health and quality with operational reviews, testing strategies, and monitoring rigor.

Hire the leaders who will define TRM’s next chapter.
The caliber of TRM’s leaders defines how far and how fast we can go. As TRM’s founding Leadership Recruiter, you’ll have the rare opportunity to shape the leadership team behind our next chapter, owning senior and executive search end-to-end across GTM, R&D, and G&A.
You’ll partner directly with our founders and executive team to identify, engage, and close exceptional leaders who raise the bar and multiply the impact of the teams around them. You’ll also build our leadership recruiting function from the ground up, defining how we find, assess, and win the very best leaders in the market. Your impact will extend far beyond individual hires. You’ll shape who leads TRM for years to come.
The impact you will have:
You will shape who leads TRM, owning and closing VP, Head of, and executive searches across GTM, R&D, and G&A that set the trajectory of entire organizations.
You will be a trusted search partner to our founders and executives, helping define each role and guiding high-stakes hiring decisions with sound judgment.
You will turn hard-to-reach leadership markets into exceptional pipelines through deep market mapping, an established executive network, original sourcing, and AI-assisted research.
You will represent TRM at the highest level, delivering an executive-level candidate experience that builds trust and excitement at every interaction.
You will build leadership recruiting at TRM from the ground up, establishing the processes, interview structures, scorecards, and operating rhythms that make exceptional senior hiring repeatable and scalable.
What we’re looking for:
7+ years in recruiting or executive search, with a track record of personally closing VP and/or C-level hires.
Deep experience in high-growth startup environments, with an understanding of what exceptional leadership looks like as organizations scale quickly, roles evolve, and the business operates with speed and ambiguity.
An established network of senior leaders and executives, with the relationships and credibility to open doors, generate warm introductions, and engage exceptional talent who may not be actively looking.
Experience owning retained-style leadership searches end-to-end, from defining the search and mapping the market through assessment, references, and close.
The executive presence and credibility to partner directly with founders and senior leaders, challenge their thinking when needed, and navigate high-stakes decisions with conviction.
Fluency using AI throughout the search process, including market research, sourcing, candidate synthesis, and highly personalized executive outreach.
Exceptional sourcing instincts and the discipline to build leadership pipelines from scratch, rather than relying on inbound interest or agencies.
Exceptional written communication and the operational rigor to keep multiple complex searches moving with speed and precision.
Experience hiring leaders across multiple functions, including GTM, R&D, and G&A, or within mission-driven, highly sensitive environments.
This position is only open to candidates located in the United States.
About the Team:
We move fast and own the outcome. Recruiters are expected to drive their searches forward, surface risks early, and proactively bring solutions rather than wait for direction.
We operate as true partners to the business. We work closely with hiring managers and leaders to challenge assumptions, use data to inform decisions, and hold a high bar for the talent we bring into TRM.
We’re serious about our craft and always looking to get better. We experiment with new approaches, use AI deeply in our work, and continuously improve how we source, assess, close, and create an exceptional candidate experience.
We stay closely connected, even while working remotely. Weekly hiring and sourcing syncs, team meetings, Slack, and strong documentation help us share context quickly, solve problems together, and learn from one another.
We’re a globally distributed team with meaningful overlap. Most collaboration happens between 7am–12pm PT, and everyone maintains at least four hours of overlap with PT business hours so we have the flexibility of remote work without sacrificing speed or collaboration.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
Within 72 hours of a new leadership search, you’ve aligned deeply with the hiring executive on the mandate, mapped the market, and identified 5–10 high-conviction leaders who sharpen our view of exceptional.
Within the first 2 weeks, you’re actively engaging exceptional leadership talent and bringing real-time market intelligence on candidate motivations, compensation, and competitive dynamics back to the hiring team.
Within your first 90 days, you’ve closed your first leadership hire and are already raising the bar on how TRM identifies, assesses, and wins exceptional leaders as we scale.

The team received a request from customers to show the running balance for assets tied to an address within the product. They brainstormed to determine the minimal viable solution that could be delivered within two weeks. The team decided to develop a framework that would facilitate enabling this feature for each chain (such as BTC, ETH, etc.) individually.

We are looking for a Senior Legal Counsel, Product to serve as one of the primary legal partners for TRM's Product and Engineering organizations. You will advise on the legal implications of product decisions from conception through launch — with a particular focus on how TRM collects, uses, and delivers blockchain data, and how it builds AI-powered features on top of it.
This is a high-autonomy, high-impact role that sits at the intersection of legal, product, and business strategy. You will report into the Assistant General Counsel and be embedded in the product development lifecycle — sitting in roadmap reviews, spec discussions, and launch-readiness processes, and working directly with Product Managers, Engineers, Data Scientists, and GTM teams. You are expected to operate independently, exercise sound judgment under ambiguity, and translate legal requirements into practical guidance that teams can actually execute.
TRM's products process sensitive data across dozens of jurisdictions on behalf of governments, financial institutions, and crypto businesses. The product legal questions we face — around data sourcing, AI/ML, intellectual property, and novel regulatory frameworks — are novel, high-stakes, and consequential. This role is for a senior lawyer who thrives in that environment.
Serve as legal partner to Product and Engineering, advising on the legal implications of product decisions from conception through launch across TRM's product portfolio.
Advise our Blockchain Intelligence and Data teams on data collection methods and practices, data sourcing and licensing, and the permissible use of first- and third-party data.
Counsel on the development and deployment of AI/ML features — including model training, data inputs and outputs, transparency, and emerging AI regulatory requirements.
Advise on intellectual property matters relevant to the product, including ownership, licensing, and open-source use.
Draft and refine product-facing legal terms, including terms of service, acceptable use policies, data terms, and customer-facing product documentation.
Partner closely with Privacy Counsel on the privacy and data-protection implications of product specs, technical architectures, and data flows, with an eye toward legal risk, data minimization, and regulatory compliance.
Identify legal and regulatory risks in proposed product features and recommend practical mitigations that preserve product momentum.
Build scalable legal frameworks, playbooks, and self-service resources so Product and Engineering teams can move quickly with legal clarity.
Collaborate with other members of the Legal team on regulatory matters, commercial agreements, and special projects as needed.
J.D. from an accredited U.S. law school and active bar membership in good standing of at least one U.S. state bar.
6–8 years of legal experience at a reputable law firm and/or in-house at a technology company, with a substantial focus on product counseling.
Demonstrated experience advising Product and Engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle, ideally for data-intensive or AI-powered products.
Working knowledge of the legal issues that shape technology products — data use and licensing, intellectual property, AI/ML, consumer-facing terms, and how privacy frameworks (e.g., GDPR, CCPA/CPRA) intersect with product decisions.
Strong commercial instincts — you understand the business context behind legal questions and give advice that helps teams make decisions, not avoid them.
Comfort operating in ambiguous, cross-jurisdictional environments where the right answer isn't always obvious, and the ability to manage multiple priorities and tight deadlines with minimal supervision.
Clear, direct communicator who can translate legal complexity for non-lawyer stakeholders, with the executive presence to engage senior stakeholders, external partners, and outside counsel.
Comfort with AI tooling and integrating it into legal workflows.
Experience advising companies that serve government or financial institution customers is a plus. Familiarity with blockchain, cryptocurrency, or fintech is a plus but not required.
In your first 90 days, you will have a firm command of TRM's product portfolio, data flows, and existing legal posture, and will have built relationships with Product and Engineering leads and begun showing up proactively in product development conversations. Within six months, you will be the trusted, go-to legal partner for the product organization — having stood up scalable frameworks that let teams move quickly with legal clarity, and established yourself as a practical, commercially-minded partner across the company.

TRM's Finance team keeps revenue and billing accurate, automated, and audit-ready as the company scales. As our Revenue and Billing Operations Manager, you will own the billing function and be a key contributor to revenue accounting, building scalable processes, replacing manual work with automation, and ensuring our records and controls are always audit-ready. You’ll have the opportunity to shape the function from a lean base—deciding what to automate, building the right controls, and creating processes that can scale with TRM.
The Impact You Will Have:
Automate manual billing work, reconciliations, invoice generation, exception flagging, and data validation, building AI-assisted workflows and owning the review and controls that ensure accuracy and audit readiness.
Strengthen revenue accounting so our records are accurate and consistently audit-ready, using AI to accelerate reconciliations and documentation while you verify what touches the books.
Evaluate and implement billing solutions that fit how TRM works, using AI to compare options, assess tradeoffs, and model impact.
Build a prioritized automation roadmap: decide what to automate first and next, and measure the time it gives back to the team.
Build scalable, resilient billing processes that keep pace with growth and reduce key-person dependency.
Partner with Sales, Legal, and Accounting to evaluate how contracts and policies are structured and their downstream billing impact.
What We're Looking For:
Demonstrated AI fluency: you can identify which finance processes to automate, build the workflows, and articulate where AI output must be verified before it is trusted.
Senior experience across revenue accounting and billing operations.
Hands-on experience leading the evaluation and implementation of billing solutions and automating billing or finance processes.
Experience leading external audits and building and maintaining audit-ready processes and controls.
Strategic judgment on automation sequencing and designing effective, scalable controls.
A hands-on, builder mindset: you’re comfortable operating in the details, solving problems directly, and doing the work yourself as part of a lean team.
Clear cross-functional communication with Sales, Legal, and Accounting.
About the Team:
Finance is lean and fast-moving; this role adds senior capacity and redundancy to revenue and billing.
You will have real ownership and the mandate to modernize the function, not just maintain it.
The work is demanding: doing more with less, ahead of a first-year audit, on a team that moves fast.
Team Operating Rhythms:
The team is distributed, not distant, with strong async communication and US working-hours overlap.
Close collaboration with Sales/Deal Desk, Accounting, and Legal.
Learn About TRM Speed:
Within the first 90 days, automate at least one high-volume manual billing process end to end with documented controls.
In the first 30 days, map the full revenue and billing process and identify the top automation opportunities.
Within the first two quarters, deliver an audit-ready improvement to revenue accounting ahead of the first-year audit.

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
The Scam Disruption team is TRM's tip of the spear against pig butchering syndicates, romance fraud networks, and investment scam operations that steal billions from victims each year. As a Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst, you'll lead infrastructure-driven investigative work: pivoting from a single domain, IP, or certificate to the network behind it, following it to the money, and delivering actionable intelligence to law enforcement and government partners.
You'll track scam infrastructure as it evolves, fusing technical, open-source, and on-chain data to build the operational pictures that help dismantle scam operations.
Start from one indicator — a scam domain, IP, or certificate — and pivot across shared certificates, registrars, nameservers, hosting, and ASNs to map the wider infrastructure behind Southeast Asia scam operations, clustering one-off indicators into campaigns.
Track campaigns as they evolve — new domains, hosting and registrar changes, certificate reuse — and stay on actors as they rebuild and re-register after takedowns and seizures, anticipating their next infrastructure.
Drive attribution of threat actors by leveraging open-source and commercially available data.
Fuse technical infrastructure with the on-chain picture — carrying an investigation from infrastructure through to the wallet, the laundering path, and the cash-out.
Build clustering logic, detection rules, and automation or tooling to surface malicious infrastructure proactively, rather than waiting on off-the-shelf feeds.
Produce defensible, calibrated assessments — assigning confidence, weighing evidence across sources, and standing behind a malicious-versus-benign call.
Synthesize on-chain and off-chain intelligence (OSINT, technical, and financial) into targeting packages that a government or law-enforcement consumer can act on.
Own the intelligence cycle end to end with minimal supervision, partnering with the Scams SME team and with data, engineering, and product to sharpen TRM's collection capabilities.
5+ years of proven experience in cyber threat intelligence or threat infrastructure analysis roles (this is not an entry-level position).
Hands-on infrastructure attribution: infrastructure pivoting and campaign tracking across shared certificates, registrars, nameservers, hosting, and ASNs — and a habit of thinking in campaigns, not isolated indicators.
A track record of staying on an actor or campaign over time, including through takedowns and re-registration.
Hands-on fluency with CTI tooling — passive DNS, WHOIS, certificate or Shodan-style fingerprinting, and phishing monitoring.
Experience building detection and clustering logic, rules, or automation yourself — not just configuring vendor tooling.
Attribution tradecraft: using open-source and commercially available data to drive attribution of threat actors.
Demonstrated ability to produce actionable intelligence or targeting packages for a government, law-enforcement, or equivalent consumer who acted on them, and calibrated, defensible analytic judgment.
Must be located in the Washington, D.C./MD/VA area (periodic in-person collaboration and travel may be required)
The Scam Disruption team operates within TRM’s Blockchain Intelligence organization, alongside threat intelligence analysts, on-chain investigators, and federal partners
All-Source Investigators and Cyber Threat Intelligence Analysts are the operational core, converting strategy and tooling into prosecutable, actionable intelligence
Distributed team with an async-first approach via Slack and Notion, plus structured syncs for alignment
High autonomy, high standards, low bureaucracy — work directly with analysts, engineers, and customers who depend on your output
Weekly team syncs to align targeting priorities and review disruption opportunities
Daily async standups via Slack on active work, returns, and target packages in flight
Primary time zone overlap: US Eastern / Central
All output documented in Notion and TRM’s investigative tools
Surge availability expected during time-sensitive disruption windows

TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
The Data Platform team builds and owns highly available, scalable data infrastructure for TRM's products and services. As a Senior Software Engineer on Data Infrastructure (RDBMS), you will develop, operate, and scale the relational database systems that serve data at petabyte scale, helping build a safer financial system for billions of people. This role is uniquely broad at TRM: you own the serving layer end to end, from query performance to cost to availability, on infrastructure that product teams depend on every day.
The impact you will have:
Keep customer-facing APIs fast and available at five-nines by owning query tuning, index design, and schema optimization on petabyte-scale Postgres/Citus, directly determining whether product teams can serve data in real time
Cut storage and compute costs materially by using AI-assisted analysis (pganalyze paired with Claude) to detect compression and data-model opportunities, then shipping validated changes to production
Remove team toil by building agentic automation for routine database operations, such as self-serve pgbouncer provisioning, disk scaling, and blue-green deployments, so any engineer can run them safely
Protect data integrity and latency by driving agentic validation of database changes before they reach production
Keep real-time data flowing by managing CDC pipelines (PeerDB, Fivetran, Debezium) and using AI tooling to debug replication failures faster
Shape the next-generation platform by migrating workloads off first-gen infrastructure and prototyping new data stores with AI-accelerated spikes
Raise the whole team's leverage by codifying your workflows into AI-native runbooks and internal tooling that teammates reuse
What we're looking for:
5–8 years building and operating production PostgreSQL (Citus, Aurora, AlloyDB, or equivalent distributed Postgres)
Deep SQL optimization skills (Explain Plans, CTEs, window functions, partitioning, index design, query-planner behavior in distributed environments), increasingly paired with AI-assisted query analysis
Hands-on experience with CDC tools (PeerDB, Fivetran, Debezium, Datastream, Airbyte) and comfort using AI tooling to debug replication failure modes
Fluency with database profiling (pganalyze or equivalent) to interpret metrics and logs, including using LLMs to summarize performance findings
Production automation experience in Python or Go, including agentic automation of routine database tasks; Postgres extension development is a plus
Daily use of AI coding tools (Claude, Copilot) to accelerate development and produce higher-quality output faster, with the judgment to know when to trust or reject AI output
A track record of using AI-assisted analysis to drive measurable cost or performance improvements in production database systems
About the Team:
The Data Platform team is distributed, not distant. We operate async-first across US and Canada working hours with intentional synchronous touchpoints when speed demands it
We own the petabyte-scale data infrastructure that powers TRM's products. The scope is large, the mission is real, and the work is technically demanding
Team culture is product-focused, customer-focused, coaching-oriented, scrappy when needed, and process-oriented when executing against OKRs
You will work alongside senior engineers who care deeply about their craft and hold high standards for code quality, operational excellence, and cross-team communication
Team Operating Rhythms:
Distributed, not distant: most collaboration happens async in Slack, Notion, and GitHub, and meetings are purposeful and minimal
Primary timezone overlap across US and Canada working hours; our north star is no IC spending more than 3–4 hours per week in meetings
Written-first culture: technical specs and decision docs drive alignment before code
On Call Requirements:
⚠️ On Call Requirements — Pending Regional Compliance Review. This role carries an on-call rotation (approximately once every 15 days; each shift is a 24-hour window across 2 days). On-call is clear to proceed for United States; the Canada portion requires People Ops / Deel provincial confirmation before this section is finalized and posted. See the On-Call Compliance note in the Post-Fill Summary.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
Within 30 days, eliminate a single point of failure by shipping self-serve scaling automation (pgbouncer provisioning, disk resizing) that any teammate can run, freeing senior engineering time
Within the first quarter, identify a compression opportunity with AI-assisted analysis, validate it with a proof of concept, and ship it to production for a measurable storage-cost reduction with zero availability impact
Within 90 days, coordinate a schema change across three product-engineering teams in parallel and deliver the platform changes ahead of a product deadline so a customer feature ships on time
The following represents the expected range of compensation for this role:
Individual pay is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. The compensation details listed in this posting reflect the US base salary only.
The estimated base salary range for this role is $200,000 - $220,000

We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They’re the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.
Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment – test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly.
Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.
Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one‑team mindset — giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.
At TRM, we care deeply about our craft. We are looking for individuals who want their work to matter, who experiment with speed and rigor, and who take pride in building a safer world for billions of people. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply — we hire for slope, judgment, and the will to learn fast.
