Develop AI-powered products and infrastructure embedding with intelligence analysts, owning end-to-end internal applications including backend services and APIs. | Requires 6+ years full-stack experience with Python or JavaScript/TypeScript, strong product sense, AI model experience, and scalable backend system skills. | Build a Safer World. 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 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.

Lead and build cyber mission programs addressing cybercrime and resilience for public and private sectors. | 10+ years cyber experience with proven large-scale engagement sourcing and founder-like behavior. | Build a Safer World. 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. About the role 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. The impact you’ll have 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. What you’ll do 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. What we’re looking for 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. This role may be a fit if you… 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. About the team 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. Team operating rhythm 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 Life at TRM 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.
