Description

Build to Protect Civilization TRM is a blockchain intelligence company that’s on a mission to build a safer world for billions of people. We’re a lean, high-impact team tackling some of the world’s most critical challenges, ranging from human trafficking and financial fraud to terrorist financing. We are builders who power governments, financial institutions, and crypto companies when the clock is running and the consequences are real. This is why every TRMer is a bet on our future and has the power to change our trajectory. 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 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. 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. Ability to communicate complex ideas effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences, verbally and in writing. Experience working collaboratively in a cross-functional environment with a diverse group of people at all levels in an organization. About the Team: The team operates on a weekly sprint schedule. Individuals on the team are tasked to lead projects as technical anchors, and given a chance to grow and take ownership according to their level and goals. We work closely with our internal stakeholders to deliver impactful features to our internal customers and the company. The team’s culture is built on psychological safety wherein team members build rapport and trust-based relationships with teammates, hold each other accountable and to a high bar, collaborate extensively, and have lots of fun along the way. The team’s timezone is a mix of EST and PST with at least 6 hours of overlap with PST (8 am to 2 pm PST) On-Call: We have an on-call rotation that is a week long in duration approximately once every 4-6 weeks. On-call requests can be categorized into two large buckets; a) PagerDuty alerts that warrant immediate attention and b) customer support requests from specific Slack channels that an on-call engineer is responsible for triaging and answering. Learn about TRM Speed in this position: Ruthless Prioritization & Adaptability: We adapt quickly when faced with new information. For example, an engineer may message the PM or EM to prioritize Task A vs. Task B in the middle of the sprint – we don’t let inertia guide our decisions. Instead we focus on ruthless prioritization and pivot quickly as needed. Challenging Timelines (Execution Pressure): An engineer questions a teammate’s proposed 3-week timeline, and constructively argues for condensing it to 2 weeks—backed by rationale, tradeoffs, and a plan to reduce scope or increase velocity. They show ownership of delivery speed and willingness to push for urgency. Time-Boxed Spiking (Rapid Learning & Decision-Making): An engineer proposes a 1-week spike with a clear time-box and success criteria to explore implementation options or validate feasibility through a proof of concept. They demonstrate speed not just in execution, but in de-risking decisions early. Life at TRM We build to protect civilization. That promise shows up in how we work every day. TRM runs fast.
