TRM Labs jobs

Senior Data Scientist, Full Stack at TRM Labs (blockchain intelligence/crime prevention), based in South America with remote work. Focuses on attribution algorithms, domain expertise in financial crime/fraud, and research-driven ML rather than product engineering.

TRM Labs is a Series C blockchain intelligence company that helps government agencies and financial institutions investigate and disrupt crime by tracing illicit activity and building threat networks. As a Senior Data Scientist in Attribution, you'll own end-to-end attribution algorithms for a specific risk category (Sanctions, Cybercrime, Counter Terrorism, etc.), translating domain expertise into production-grade intelligence that drives real outcomes like seizing illicit funds and disrupting crypto crime networks. You'll need 6+ years in analytical roles with strong SQL, Python, and AI-assisted coding experience, plus proficiency with distributed data systems (Spark, BigQuery, Airflow) and demonstrated ability to ship production code; domain curiosity in blockchain, fraud, or financial crime is essential. The role requires a quantitative background (CS, Stats, Engineering, Economics, Physics), hypothesis-driven problem-solving, and comfort with rapid iteration—expect to turn around attribution insights in days and ship MVPs in 1-2 sprints. The fully remote, globally distributed team operates with 4-hour overlap in PST business hours and includes on-call analytics responsibilities. TRM is backed by Goldman Sachs, Bessemer, Y Combinator, and Thoma Bravo with $220M in funding, and operates at intense velocity with high ownership expectations—this role demands someone energized by hard problems and ambiguity rather than predictability.
