Job description

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.

The Full-Stack Product Engineering team is responsible for building a comprehensive set of features, frameworks, and functionalities for both end customers and internal-facing teams to successfully execute and scale TRM’s business. We are looking for a pragmatic full-stack engineer who can build reliable and scalable software that will be used by all TRM customers. You’ll also design backend APIs with a deep understanding of the customer experience and performance.

As an early member of the team, you will be deeply involved in the technical details along with our operational processes to champion the velocity, quality, and overall impact of TRM, ultimately building a safer financial system for billions of people.

This role is based in our San Francisco office. Employees in this position are expected to work from the office at least three (3) days per week to support in-person collaboration and team engagement.

The impact you’ll have here:

• Work on complex engineering problems that help you build and hone not only technical skills but also project management and human/soft skills.

• Develop and maintain public APIs that are part of the API Product suite

• Collaborate with stakeholders on transforming a functional vision into a tangible roadmap with clear outcomes.

• Support and enable internal business units through shared engineering services and functionalities.

• Develop cross-functional relationships with stakeholders across the organization to understand and empower their mission from end to end.

• Experience designing and building scalable systems, web applications, APIs, and services (our backend is built in Node.js but prior experience in Node.js is not required; we believe tools and languages can be learned on the job)

What we’re looking for:

• Experience designing and building scalable systems, web applications, APIs, and services.

• An understanding of storage systems such as relational databases (e.g., Postgres) and analytical databases.

• Demonstrated experience in understanding customer pain points and bridging their needs to technical & product requirements.

• A high degree of initiative and ownership, combined with the ability to navigate ambiguity and adapt quickly to change.

• Exceptional ability to structure problems and identify the most critical issues to prioritize.
