All-Source Investigator

About TRM Labs

TRM is a blockchain intelligence company on a mission to build a safer financial system for billions of people. We're a lean, high-impact team tackling some of the world's most critical challenges, ranging from human trafficking and financial fraud to terrorist financing. We power governments, financial institutions, and crypto companies when the clock is running and the consequences are real. TRMers are bets on the future and have the power to change our trajectory.

About the Role

The Scam Disruption team is TRM's tip of the spear against pig butchering syndicates, romance fraud networks, and investment scam operations that steal billions from victims each year. As an All-Source Investigator, you’ll lead targeting-driven investigative work: taking legal process to the ground, following the data wherever it leads, and delivering actionable intelligence to law enforcement partners.

You will operate the "intelligence flywheel" daily — fusing on-chain and off-chain data to build operational pictures that help dismantle scam operations.

The Impact You Will Have

• Run legal process end-to-end against scam infrastructure and convert returns into targeting-ready intelligence for TRM’s teams and law enforcement partners
• Trace scam compounds geographically and operationally — combining on-chain attribution with off-chain telemetry, OSINT, and commercially available data to identify operators, controllers, and movement patterns
• Work the intelligence flywheel operationally — processing returns at high volume and feeding victim and operator data into TRM's intelligence and product pipelines
• Find the seams — pivot from a single victim into uncovering the operation and multiplying leads
• Partner with the Threat Intelligence Analyst (Scams Expert) and the All-Source Lead to translate disruption strategy into targeting packages that influence federal investigations

What We're Looking For

• 3 to 5 years of all-source investigative or targeting experience — federal law enforcement (former 1811s — e.g., FBI, HSI, IRS-CI, Secret Service), Intelligence Community all-source analysis, or mission-aligned private sector equivalent
• Legal process expertise — you have personally drafted and worked returns from US legal process and know how to operationalize the data
• Creative tactical thinking — demonstrated ability to pivot from a single point to a network view, identifying operators behind operations
• Link and pattern analysis fluency — ability to correlate disparate data sources to generate defensible target packages
• Strong written communication — skilled at writing memos, attribution write-ups, and federal-style leads that are actionable
• AI fluency (required) — you use AI tools in your workflow, synthesizing returns, drafting outputs, and accelerating analysis, with examples of how AI has impacted your work
• Crypto experience is a plus, not a requirement — we teach on-chain tradecraft; we cannot teach the targeter's instinct
• US Citizenship required
• Active TS/SCI clearance required
• Must be located in the Washington, D.C./MD/VA area (periodic in-office collaboration and travel may be required)

About the Team

• The Scam Disruption team operates within TRM’s Blockchain Intelligence organization, alongside threat intelligence analysts, on-chain investigators, and federal partners
• All-Source Investigators are the operational core, converting strategy and tooling into prosecutable, actionable intelligence
• Distributed team with an async-first approach via Slack and Notion, plus structured syncs for alignment
• High autonomy, high standards, low bureaucracy — work directly with analysts, engineers, and customers who depend on your output

Team Operating Rhythms

• Weekly team syncs to align targeting priorities and review disruption opportunities
• Daily async standups via Slack on active work, returns, and target packages in flight
• Primary time zone overlap: US Eastern / Central
• All output documented in Notion and TRM’s investigative tools
• Surge availability expected during time-sensitive disruption windows

Join Our Mission

We seek people whose work matters, who build with speed and rigor, and who take pride in protecting others through their craft. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, apply anyway.

Build to protect civilization. Let’s do it together.
