Remote-first (US) · Infrastructure Engineering · flexes to Staff for the right builder
Our team builds the platform that every TRM product, every internal AI agent, and every investigation our customers run depends on. We are not maintaining a system someone else finished - we are building its next generation, on the bleeding edge, for workloads where reliability and security are not negotiable. We're looking for an engineer who has taken infrastructure from
and can operate it in production.
TRM's platform lets financial institutions and governments trace illicit finance, disrupt crypto- and AI-enabled crime, and run some of the highest-stakes investigations in the world. Our infrastructure is what lets investigators and banks trust the data underneath them. When we get it right, a case moves and a threat gets stopped. When infrastructure is weak, everything above it is slow, fragile, or unsafe. That's the job: make the foundation something the mission can be built on.
This is real, current work - not a hypothetical roadmap:
across US GCP, EU GCP, and AWS GovCloud - making "stand up another site" a self-serve configuration instead of a bespoke project.
~60+ engineers already deploy on it, the large majority with no infra person in the loop. You extend the paved road - golden paths, guardrails, and interfaces engineers actually enjoy using.
Secure sandboxes where AI agents build and ship, and encoding our operational knowledge into skills so the platform increasingly runs and heals itself.
Short-lived, dynamic credentials replacing every long-lived secret in the system - closing the blast radius on leaked passwords, database at a time.
SLOs and error budgets, real observability, and disaster recovery with validated cross-region restore and sub-hour RTO.
Postgres on Kubernetes, migrations, replication, and redundancy for services that can't blink.
SOC2 and FedRAMP posture built into the platform so security is the default, not a scramble before an audit.

High ownership and low ego. Mission-first. Comfortable where speed and rigor have to coexist - something that takes a quarter elsewhere is expected to move in weeks here, without cutting the corners that matter for security and reliability. You see infra, security, data, and product as connected system, and you turn-off fixes into reusable paved roads by instinct.
The scope is real and the playbook isn't fully written - you'll be writing it. Reliability and compliance expectations are high, and mistakes here show up as real incidents for customers and internal teams. If you prefer an environment where everything is defined before you start, this will feel uncomfortable. If that kind of ownership is exactly what you're after, you'll love it.
Remote-first (US). Small, high-leverage team with a weekly on-call rotation you'll take part in. We're an AI-native team in practice, not in theory - we use agents in our daily workflow and ship the skills that let the platform operate itself.

TRM moves quickly. 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.

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.
