Kyle Armstrong

Director of Law Enforcement Relations

"My career has been about expanding impact — from handling single cases at the FBI, to supporting investigations nationwide in the Virtual Assets Unit, and now at TRM, helping law enforcement globally. Through Beacon Network, we’ve built something neither the private nor public sector could do alone: a dynamic partnership driving real action against illicit crypto activity worldwide."

Chris Wong

“At TRM, data isn’t just part of the process—it’s the very core of our existence, making it incredibly exciting for a data engineer like me to contribute where everything begins with data.”

Staff Software Engineer (Data Platform)

“Every day, I get to work with experts across law enforcement, engineering and law who share a mission to create a safer world for people. We actually fight bad guys, and help the good guys win.”

Assistant General Counsel

“I've spent my entire career working to protect the financial system from illicit actors, and now I get to do it on a bigger scale, alongside those who are the very best in the world at what they do, building something really special together.“

Ari Redbord

Global Head of Policy

“By coming to TRM from the FBI, I’ve been able to scale my impact of combatting ransomware and nurturing collaboration between the public and private sectors.”

“I get to work with some of the smartest people I’ve ever met from 30+ countries, and we spend all day figuring out how to help combat drug trafficking/terrorist financing/elder scams/etc. I can’t imagine anything more fulfilling.”

Kevin Tran

Data Science Team Manager

“Some people in tech spend every weekday working on products that are not really making the world a better place. I get so much satisfaction spending my time looking for the smartest people I can find, and saying ‘Would you like work at a company that is making the world a safer place?”

Head of Talent

“In my previous life in the public sector, there was a lot of bureaucracy that slowed down my ability to make an impact. Thats not the case at TRM, people here have high ownership and see through their projects. It’s so rewarding.”

“The product we’re building is making a real impact on peoples lives; and I get to build this alongside smart, passionate humans who push me to get better at my craft.”

Jenny Gai

Senior Product Marketing Manager

“I can tell you the exact reason I decided to join TRM. When I was conducting my job search, I was evaluating 3 offers and all were in the start-up space. What stood out to me about TRM was very similar criteria to a previous start-up I joined that went public; it has bleeding edge technology, solid funding, very smart people and was experiencing hyper growth. That equation adds up to success.”

“I was most excited to join TRM because of our mission, but I didn’t realize how much I’d love working with this team. At TRM, we have a culture of supportive teamwork and close collaboration. My colleagues are some of the most interesting, high-integrity and high-achieving people I know. I’m inspired just by working alongside them.”

Kinsey Cronin

Terry Carson

Data Scientist

"TRM offers an unparalleled and remarkable experience. Working at a company with a strong mission in a fast-paced industry is incredibly motivating—especially when you can directly see the difference your efforts make in the real world."

Accounting Manager

“Moving to the private sector from law enforcement can be quite challenging. I think one of the things that I struggled with, and is quite common, is that the move to the private sector often comes with a change in identity and lost purpose. But then I found TRM, and thats one of the reasons I really love it here- we’ve still got that purpose. I still get to work alongside law enforcement every day, and I still get to help catch bad guys — but now I just do it on a more global scale.”

Head of Deployment Strategy, APAC

"TRM is a place where I, and others, experience a safe environment to openly challenge ideas, which ultimately helps me learn and grow in my career"

Staff Software Engineer

"At our last company All Hands, we covered two recent cases where law enforcement had leveraged TRM - one helping stop an ISIS terrorist attack, and another helping stop a child sexual abuse operation. I love TRM not just because the people are brilliant, but because we dedicate our time to impact like this."

About the role

The Senior Intelligence Analyst owns TRM’s blockchain intelligence for a priority coverage area. You turn on-chain tracing, OSINT, and diverse intel signals into finished intelligence across scam/fraud, counter-narcotics, and facilitation and money laundering. You lead industry-leading work against professional money laundering organizations, illicit gambling networks, and related actors.

What is unique here : you build the AI-driven pipelines that turn many signals into attribution, making one of TRM’s highest-priority coverage areas a strength.

The impact you will have

Deepen TRM’s coverage by owning your area end-to-end and delivering finished, source-cited intelligence products across multiple threat categories.

Build end-to-end AI capability that processes a wide variety of intel signals and augments target selection, so you generate leads faster and at greater scale.

Trace funds across chains and through obfuscation, and correlate on-chain activity with OSINT, including Mandarin-language sources, to attribute money laundering organizations, threat actors, and gambling networks.

Drive attribution and leads that improve delivery in Mission (scam/fraud), Counter Narcotics, Nation States, and Facilitation and Money Laundering.

Set ambitious, industry-leading targets for your coverage area and raise the bar on tradecraft.

Build reusable AI pipelines and methods the broader Intelligence team adopts.

What we’re looking for

5 to 8+ years in blockchain intelligence, crypto investigations, threat intelligence, or financial-crime investigations.

Strong OSINT and off-chain investigative tradecraft: you connect on-chain activity to real-world people, companies, and networks. Hands-on blockchain tracing experience is a plus, not a requirement; we train strong investigators on our tooling.

Domain expertise in professional money laundering organizations, illicit gambling networks, and underground banking.

Mandarin Chinese fluency is a strong plus.

Production AI fluency: you build end-to-end pipelines that process diverse intel signals and augment target selection, and you critically evaluate the output.

A track record of independently running complex investigations and producing clear, source-cited written intelligence.

US-based preferred, not required.

About the Team

You will join TRM’s Blockchain Intelligence (Primary Intelligence) organization, a distributed team producing finished intelligence across threat categories.

The work is intellectually demanding: you keep real investigative proficiency across on-chain and OSINT tradecraft while owning a priority coverage area.

Mission-first, high-autonomy, execution-oriented culture with rigorous analytical standards.

AI-native team: analysts build reusable pipelines the whole team adopts.

Team Operating Rhythms

Distributed, not distant: a US-based analyst collaborating across time zones with regular overlap for syncs.

Slack-first, async communication; @mention for timely responses.

Weekly 1:1s and team syncs, plus case and category rhythms.

Regular cross-category coordination with other Intelligence pods and Global Investigations.

Required online and collaboration hours:standard business hours in your timezone, with 3-4 hours overlap across US time zones (EST preferred) for internal syncs.

Travel Requirements:

Schedule: Occasional travel for team engagements.

Frequency: Low.

Onsite Requirements:

Schedule: None required; distributed/remote role.

Learn about TRM Speed in this position

Within your first 30 days, take ownership of an active case in your coverage area and deliver a finished, source-cited intelligence product.

Within 60 days, build an end-to-end AI pipeline that processes diverse intel signals for augmented target selection and that another analyst can reuse.

Within 90 days, measurably deepen coverage against money laundering organizations or gambling networks, with attribution and leads that support cross-category delivery.

AI Fluency at TRM

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

Increase speed and leverage

You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.

Life at TRM

We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.

TRM moves FAST. 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

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 thriving in 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.

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.

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 quick

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.

Join our Mission

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 is a Series C company with $220M in total funding, backed by Goldman Sachs, Bessemer, Y Combinator, Thoma Bravo, and others. Headquartered in San Francisco, TRM operates as a distributed-first company with hubs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Washington D.C., London, and Singapore.
