    Leadership Principles

  • Impact-Oriented Trailblazer – put customers first, driving for speed, focus, and adaptability.
  • Master Craftsperson – prioritize speed, high standards, and distributed ownership.
  • Inspiring Colleague – value humility, candor, and a one-team mindset.
  • Accelerate your Career

    At TRM, you’ll do work that matters—disrupting terrorist networks, recovering stolen funds, and protecting people around the world. You will :

  • Work alongside top experts and learn every day.
  • Embrace a growth mindset with development opportunities tailored to your role.
  • Take on high-impact challenges in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • Thrive in a culture of coaching, where feedback is fast, direct, and built to help you level up.
  • What to Expect at TRM

    To support this intensity, we offer generous benefits, including PTO, Holidays, and Parental Leave for full-time employees.

    That said, TRM may not be the right fit for everyone. If you’re optimizing for work-life balance, consider whether this high-velocity environment is right for you. Ask interviewers about balance within their teams and reflect on whether this season is right for you.

    We’re upfront about this because we want every new team member to thrive—not just survive.

    The Stakes Are Real

    Our work has direct, real-world impact :

  • Jumping online after hours to support urgent government requests tracing ransomware payments.
  • Delivering actionable insights during terrorist financing investigations.
  • Collaborating across time zones in real time during a major global hack.
  • Building new processes in days, not weeks, to stop criminals before they cash out.
  • Analyzing blockchain data to recover stolen savings and dismantle trafficking networks.
  • Thrive as a Global Team

    As a remote-first company, TRM Labs is built for global collaboration. We foster a strong remote culture through clear communication, thorough documentation, and meaningful relationships. We invest in offsites, regional meetups, virtual coffee chats, and onboarding buddies to foster collaboration. By prioritizing trust and belonging, we harness the strengths of a global team while staying aligned with our mission and values.

    Join our mission!

    We’re looking for team members who thrive in fast-paced, high-impact environments and love building from the ground up. TRM is remote-first, with a global team. If you enjoy solving tough problems and making a difference for billions of people, we want you here. Don’t worry if your experience doesn’t perfectly match a job description—we value passion, problem-solving, and unique career paths. If you’re excited about TRM’s mission, we want to hear from you.
