Descrição da oferta de emprego

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. Whether analyzing blockchain data, developing cutting‑edge tools, or collaborating with global organizations, you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact.

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 a Software Engineer on the Data Platform team, you will be responsible for executing mission‑critical systems and data services that analyze blockchain transaction activity at petabyte scale, and ultimately work to build a safer financial system for billions of people.

Impact you’ll have here

• Build highly reliable data services to integrate with dozens of blockchains.
• Develop complex ETL pipelines that transform and process petabytes of structured and unstructured data in real time.
• Design and architect intricate data models for optimal storage and retrieval to support sub‑second latency for querying blockchain data.
• Oversee the deployment and monitoring of large database clusters with an unwavering focus on performance and high availability.
• Collaborate across departments, partnering with data scientists, backend engineers, and product managers to design and implement novel data models that enhance TRM’s products.

What we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science or a related field.
• A proven track record, with 5+ years of hands‑on experience in architecting distributed system architecture, guiding projects from initial ideation through to successful production deployment.
• Exceptional programming skills in Python, as well as adeptness in SQL or SparkSQL.
• Versatility that spans the entire spectrum of data engineering in one or more of the following areas:
• • In‑depth experience with data stores such as Iceberg, Trino, BigQuery, StarRocks, and Citus.
  • Proficiency in data pipeline and workflow orchestration tools like Airflow, DBT, Luigi, Azkaban, and Storm.
  • Expertise in data processing technologies and streaming workflows including Spark, Kafka, and Flink.
  • Competence in deploying and monitoring infrastructure within public cloud platforms, utilizing tools such as Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes, and Datadog.
  • Proven ability in loading, querying, and transforming extensive datasets.

About the Team

• The Data Platform team is the funnel between all of TRM’s data world and product world. We care about all layers of stack including petabyte of data stores, pipelines, and processes.
• We have a big scope as a team with new and exciting projects every quarter. We collaborate across the board with most teams at TRM.
• We believe in async communication and are also not afraid to jump on a quick huddle if that helps to move things faster. We are both scrappy when the situation demands and also process‑oriented when we need to achieve our OKRs.
• We are always looking for people who can elevate the quality of our tech and our execution. If you enjoy a remote‑first and async friendly environment to achieve efficacy and efficiency at petabyte scale, our team could be a great pick for you!
• Team members are based in the US across almost all time zones! Our on‑call tends to be in EST/PST shift, whatever suits you the best.
• We reserve some overlap in the day for meetings. Our north‑star: no IC spends more than 3‑4 hours/week in meetings.

Learn about TRM Speed in this position

• Build scalable engines to optimize routine scaling and maintenance tasks like create self‑serve automation for new pgbouncer, scaling disks, scaling/updating of clusters, etc.
• Enable tasks to be faster next time and reduce dependency on a single person.
• Identify ways to compress timelines using 80/20 principle. Identify must‑have and nice‑to‑have for operational readiness and milestone hardening.
• Identify first version (“skateboards”) for projects. Build an observability dashboard within a week. Gather feedback from stakeholders to refine the dashboard.

About TRM’s Engineering Levels

• Engineer: Responsible for helping to define project milestones and executing small 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, 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. Is a role model and mentor to the entire engineering organization. Ensures system health and quality with operational reviews, testing strategies, and monitoring rigor.
