Overview

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

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 a GEOINT Analyst, you’ll be the team's location specialist: finding where scam compounds are, who is operating them, and how they move, then turning that picture into intelligence law enforcement partners can act on.

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

The Impact You Will Have

• Locate and map scam compounds using satellite and aerial imagery, geolocation, and open-source geospatial data, and track how they change over time, including construction, expansion, and relocation after raids
• Place people and devices to a location using ad tech and commercial location data, IP geolocation, and other location-bearing telemetry, and build pattern-of-life pictures of operators and controllers
• Fuse location intelligence with on-chain attribution, OSINT, and commercially available data to identify operators, controllers, and movement patterns
• Find the seams: pivot from a single address, IP, photo, or victim lead to the compound and the people running it
• Partner with the Threat Intelligence Analyst (Scams Expert), the CTI Analyst, and the All-Source Lead to translate disruption strategy into targeting packages that influence law enforcement and government action

What We're Looking For

• 3 to 5 years of hands-on GEOINT, imagery analysis, or location-based targeting experience: military or Intelligence Community geospatial roles (e.g., NGA, Army 35G), law enforcement targeting, or a mission-aligned private sector equivalent such as a GEOINT or OSINT services firm
• Geolocation and imagery tradecraft: you can take a photo, video, IP, or set of coordinates, place it with confidence, and explain how you got there
• Ad tech and commercial location data (strongly preferred): experience with mobile ad IDs, bidstream, or other commercial location data. Ideally you bring both GEOINT and ad tech
• Works beyond the government toolkit: you can get answers from open-source and commercial tools when classified systems and data aren't available
• 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
• Clear written and verbal communication: you can explain your methods, your confidence, and your own role in plain terms, and write memos, attribution write-ups, and leads that are actionable
• AI fluency (required) — you use AI tools in your workflow, synthesizing data, 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
• Familiarity with Southeast Asia scam compounds or Chinese-run criminal networks is a plus
• Location: remote in the UK, EMEA, or US (including Washington, DC). You must already have the right to work where you're based.

AI Fluency at TRM

AI fluency is a baseline expectation at TRM.

We believe AI meaningfully changes how top performers operate. We expect every team member to use AI to accelerate and reimagine their craft, not just automate surface tasks.

At TRM, AI fluency means you are among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to:

• Accelerate repeatable workflows
• Structure and solve problems
• Improve output quality
• Increase speed and leverage

You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.

Life at TRM

We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.

TRM moves FAST. We are a high-velocity, high-ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and continuous feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it will ship here in days.

Our work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly. The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission. As a result, the way we operate requires a high level of ownership, adaptability, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.

At TRM, you should expect:

• Priorities and targets to change quickly
• Operating with a high degree of ambiguity
• A high level of personal ownership and accountability
• Close collaboration across teams and functions
• Frequent, high-touch communication
• Creative problem-solving and out-of-the-box thinking
• A pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes

This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires thriving in ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment.

We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure-test whether this environment is truly the right fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.

If you are excited by meaningful problems, motivated by ambitious goals, and energized by working alongside mission-driven colleagues, there is a good chance you will find TRM to be an exceptional place to grow and contribute.

Leadership Principles

We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They’re the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.

• Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment – test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly.
• Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.
• Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one‑team mindset — giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.

Join our Mission

At TRM, we care deeply about our craft. We are looking for individuals who want their work to matter, who experiment with speed and rigor, and who take pride in building a safer world for billions of people. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply — we hire for slope, judgment, and the will to learn fast.
