Remote AI Agent Engineer — LLMs, Safety & Scale

Aimlroles; Northern (KY); Hybrid; USD 200,000 - 275,000; Full time

Job summary

TRM Labs seeks a talented AI Engineer to build a robust agentic framework and scale LLM infrastructure for safe, scalable AI deployments.

You will design modular agents, extend tooling and data flows to support analysts in high-sensitivity environments, and drive performance improvements.

The role emphasizes ownership, rapid experimentation, and ethical AI practices, with a base salary range of $200,000–$275,000 and equity eligibility.

Qualifications

• Strong engineering background with backend or systems experience (Python preferred).
• Hands-on experience with LLMs, agents, and tooling frameworks (LangChain, semantic caches, vector DBs).
• Comfort working with agentic pipelines and optimizing information flow into AI systems.
• System design with emphasis on safety, scalability, and explainability.
• High product empathy for analysts using agents and optimizing accordingly.
• Bias toward experimentation and rapid iteration.
• Knowledge graphs, task orchestration, or AI safety are a plus.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement a robust agentic framework that supports tool use, context retrieval, memory, and planning.
• Build intelligent, modular agents that automate investigative tasks and augment analyst decision-making.
• Extend and scale our LLM infrastructure (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models), including prompt engineering, RAG, and evaluation loops.
• Design safe, observable, and auditable agent behaviors in high-sensitivity environments.
• Evaluate performance across metrics like reasoning, latency, success rate, and hallucination; iterate from feedback.
• Contribute to a culture of ownership, rapid experimentation, and ethical AI deployment.
