TRM Labs provides blockchain analytics and AI solutions to help law enforcement and national security agencies, financial institutions, and cryptocurrency businesses detect, investigate, and disrupt crypto-related fraud and financial crime. TRM’s blockchain intelligence and AI platforms include solutions to trace the source and destination of funds, identify illicit activity, build cases, and construct an operating picture of threats. TRM is trusted by leading agencies and businesses worldwide who rely on TRM to enable a safer, more secure world for all.
As a Senior Analytics Engineer on our Advanced Analytics team, you will help mature and scale the foundation of our analytics data ecosystem. You’ll play a leading role in shaping best practices in analytics engineering and will be instrumental in driving data architecture, quality, performance, and reliability across the organization.
This is a high-impact, senior-level role built for someone who brings a strong background in analytics/data engineering and data science, and who can thrive in ambiguous environments and independently drive critical initiatives that improve how we model, transform, and use data across TRM. Within 6–12 months, your work will have improved the scalability and reliability of our analytics infrastructure and established the gold standard for analytics engineering practices across the team.
The impact you will have here:
Lead the development and optimization of analytics pipelines and data models that power TRM’s products, investigations, and decision-making — enabling teams across the company and our customers (including former FBI, Secret Service, and Europol agents) to detect and respond to financial crime in the crypto space.
Define and implement best practices in analytics engineering (e.g., testing, observability, versioning, documentation), helping to level up the team’s development workflows and data reliability
Improve the scalability and maintainability of our analytics data ecosystem, which process large volume of data, through thoughtful architectural decisions and tooling improvements.
Partner closely with data scientists, data engineers, product and business teams to deliver production-ready datasets that support models, metrics, and investigative workflows.
Establish best-in-class data quality solutions to increase the reliability and accuracy of our data
Investigate performance issues, and bring creative, durable solutions to improve long-term reliability, cost and developer experience.
Drive adoption of modern data tools and workflows, helping the team evolve toward best-in-class analytics engineering practices.
Contribute to team on-call responsibilities that support the health and availability of our analytics and data science infrastructure (on-call is lightweight and shared equitably).
What we’re looking for:
8+ years of experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or data science with a strong focus on building and scaling analytics workflows.
Strong experience across the entire Data Engineering lifecycle (from ETLs, Data Model design, infra, Data Quality, architecture etc.)
Deep proficiency in SQL and experience developing robust, modular data models using dbt (or equivalent tools) in a production environment.
Strong software engineering fundamentals, including experience with Python, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing.
Proficiency in defining robust and scalable data models using best practices.
Experience using LLMs as well enabling AI through high quality data infrastructure.
Hands-on experience with cloud data warehouses and infrastructure (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) and data orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Dagster, Prefect).
Proficiency in developing compelling dashboards using tools like Looker, Tableau, Power BI, Plotly or similar.
Excellent communication skills — you can explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences and influence key decisions with clarity and data.
About the Team:
The Advanced Analytics team helps TRM’s customers to have the most reliable and impactful data and insights. The team builds the data foundation and Analytics products for TRM’s insights and investigative capabilities. We develop high-leverage datasets, metrics, and insights used by internal teams and customers to combat fraud, hacks, and illicit activity on the blockchain.
We’re a distributed team with a collaborative and inclusive culture. Most of our meetings and syncs occur between 7am–12pm PST to ensure time zone overlap.
On-call responsibilities are shared across the team and intentionally kept lightweight (e.g., <1hr/day during a weeklong shift every few months).
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
Deliver a last minute impactful project for a key customer
Build complex products effectively with tight timeframes (1-2 sprints for MVP)
Work on several projects in parallel with different priorities and stakeholders
We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.
TRM runs fast. Really fast. We’re a high‑velocity, high‑ownership team that expects clarity, follow‑through, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and direct feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it often ships here in days.
That pace isn’t for everyone. If you are optimizing primarily for consistent work-life balance, use the interview process to pressure-test fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.
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.
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.
This work has real stakes. Depending on your role at TRM, your week might look like:
Driving critical investigations that can’t wait for typical business hours.
Shipping products in days when others would schedule quarters.
Partnering with teams across time zones to deliver insights while the story is still unfolding.
Building new solutions from first principles when the playbook doesn’t yet exist.
Protecting victims and customers by tracing illicit activity and disrupting criminal networks.
