Build a Safer World. 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 an Engineering Manager on the AI Product Engineering team, you will re-imagine from first principles how people interact with software — unencumbered by the legacy of traditional SaaS. You'll lead a multidisciplinary pod of frontend, backend, and full-stack engineers to build tooling that enables crime fighters to keep pace with the growing threat of AI-powered crime. That means shipping workflows that are more autonomous, auditable, and 10x more effective than current SaaS-based tools. This role blends people leadership, technical judgment, and end-to-end ownership — from 0→1 product bets through to scaled, reliable production systems. You'll partner closely with Product, Design, and AI-focused teams to translate ambiguous ideas into intuitive, scalable product experiences.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
This role is for you if…
- You’re an Engineering Manager who still ships. You review code, jump into PRs when needed, and stay close to the architecture.
- You’re obsessed with building at the frontier of AI — experimenting with LLMs, agents, and tools like Claude Code, and comfortable orchestrating multiple agents in parallel.
- You don’t need heavy PM structure. You turn ambiguity into momentum and move fast without waiting for perfect specs.
- You love talking to customers and use those conversations to shape what gets built.
- You hire and inspire exceptional engineers — and treat team quality as a product decision.
- You want real ownership: 0→1 bets, scaled systems, and the culture that makes both possible.
The Impact You’ll Have Here
- Lead and develop a pod of engineers across frontend, backend, and full-stack disciplines, setting a high bar for craftsmanship, pace, and ownership.
- Own execution of key AI-powered product initiatives end-to-end, from shaping problem statements and 0→1 prototypes to launch, iteration, and scale.
- Partner closely with Product and Design on roadmap planning, tradeoffs, and prioritization, especially where AI can unlock step-function improvements in user workflows.
- Drive predictable delivery while maintaining high standards for quality, reliability, and maintainability in a fast-moving environment.
- Provide technical leadership through design reviews, architectural discussions, and unblocking engineers across the stack (FE + BE + integrations).
- Collaborate cross-functionally with other engineering teams (data, platform, AI/agents) to integrate advanced capabilities into clear, explainable user experiences.
- Establish strong engineering fundamentals — clear ownership, documentation, observability, testing, and operational rigor — for AI-infused product surfaces.
- Foster a culture of high trust, high velocity, and candid communication, where hiring and developing exceptional talent is treated as a first-class responsibility.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of software engineering experience and 2–5+ years of people management experience, leading multidisciplinary product teams that ship user-facing software.
- Strong product engineering background building workflow-heavy or data-rich applications end-to-end, from 0→1 through scale.
- Experience building or integrating AI/LLM-powered features into production systems. You understand the practical realities of shipping AI — iteration, evaluation, reliability, and UX tradeoffs.
- Proven ability to operate in ambiguous problem spaces, move quickly without heavy process, and turn early ideas into shipped product.
- Technical depth to review code, guide architecture, and make sound tradeoffs across frontend, backend, and AI-integrated systems.
- Experience partnering closely with Product and Design in fast-moving environments, balancing speed, quality, and user experience.
- Strong communication skills and comfort engaging directly with customers to inform product direction.
LOCATION
Work Location Requirement: 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.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience scaling or evolving product engineering pods.
- Background in B2B or enterprise software.
- Experience with data-rich, workflow-heavy, or real-time products.
- Familiarity with event-driven systems or complex integrations.
LIFE AT TRM
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 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.
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 every day.
- 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.
INTERVIEWING AT TRM
The impact you will have
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.
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. TRM is a Series C company with $220M in total funding, backed by Blockchain Capital, Goldman Sachs, Bessemer, Y Combinator, Thoma Bravo, and others. Headquartered in San Francisco, TRM operates as a distributed-first company with hubs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Washington D.C., London, and Singapore.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Engineering Jobs at TRM Labs Jobs
Align your background with blockchain intelligence work
TRM Labs hires engineers who can work with large-scale transaction data, graph systems, or compliance tooling. Framing your experience around data pipelines, distributed systems, or financial crime detection signals a direct fit before the interview stage.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open Engineering roles at TRM Labs
Browsing roles by visa type and employer saves time when you're targeting a specific company. Migrate Mate's job board lets you filter for TRM Labs engineering positions that are open to H-1B and OPT candidates specifically.
Ask about H-1B timing during the offer stage
H-1B cap-subject petitions can only be filed for an October 1 start, so if you receive an offer outside that window, clarify how TRM Labs handles the gap period. Cap-exempt situations via university affiliations don't apply here.
Prepare a portfolio of technical work that travels across jurisdictions
TRM Labs' engineering interviews are heavily technical. If you've worked on systems touching financial data, regulatory reporting, or API integrations with government entities, document those projects clearly, since they map directly to the company's core product surface area.
Understand how TN status interacts with specialized engineering roles
Canadian and Mexican nationals can use TN status for qualifying computer engineer roles without entering the H-1B lottery. DOL guidelines require the job to fall within a defined USMCA occupation category, so verify the specific role title matches before accepting an offer.

Find Engineering at TRM Labs JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does TRM Labs sponsor H-1B visas for Engineers?
Yes, TRM Labs sponsors H-1B visas for engineering roles. If you're currently on F-1 OPT or another nonimmigrant status, the company can file an H-1B petition on your behalf. Cap-subject petitions require USCIS lottery selection with an October 1 start date, so timing your offer relative to the March registration window matters.
How do I apply for Engineering jobs at TRM Labs?
Engineering roles at TRM Labs are posted on their careers page and on job boards that aggregate visa-sponsoring employers. Applications are generally resume and portfolio driven, followed by a technical screen and multi-stage interviews focused on system design and coding. Migrate Mate is a practical starting point for finding currently open TRM Labs engineering roles that are open to sponsored candidates.
Which visa types does TRM Labs commonly use for Engineering hires?
TRM Labs has filed for H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and TN visas for engineering positions. F-1 OPT and CPT are common entry points for recent graduates, while H-1B is the standard long-term work authorization path. Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering roles may be eligible for TN status, which avoids the H-1B lottery entirely.
What qualifications does TRM Labs look for in Engineering candidates?
TRM Labs engineering roles typically require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. Practical experience with backend systems, data infrastructure, or financial technology is valued. Given the company's focus on blockchain analytics, familiarity with graph databases, large-scale data processing, or compliance and risk tooling strengthens an application considerably.
How do I time my Engineering application if my OPT is running out?
If your OPT expiration is within six months, prioritize employers who can move quickly through interviews and file an H-1B petition in the next registration window. USCIS opens H-1B registration in early March for an October 1 start. If your OPT ends before October 1, ask TRM Labs whether a cap-gap or bridge arrangement is possible during the application process.
