About the role

We're looking for a Senior Blockchain Intelligence Analyst to operate as a high-judgment, high-autonomy individual contributor specializing in ransomware.
Trace ransomware-related funds across multiple blockchains, bridges, mixers, peel chains, and nested services, identifying controllers, counterparties, cash-out services, and recovery touchpoints.
You help make blockchain-enabled financial intelligence a differentiator in how TRM understands, attributes, and disrupts ransomware activity across the cybercrime ecosystem.

BUILD A SAFER WORLD.
TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks.
We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.
Correlate on-chain activity with OSINT, threat intelligence, attribution partner data, and off-chain identity or infrastructure signals to build a complete picture of adversary behavior within the broader cybercrime ecosystem.
Own investigative workstreams from discovery through validation, escalation, and written production, including drafting intelligence products that are source-cited, auditable, and operationally useful.
Support TRM's ransomware asset recovery mission by surfacing high-quality leads, identifying seizure or freeze opportunities, and helping partners move quickly before funds are off-ramped.
Drive analytical leadership across active ransomware investigations by prioritizing work, maintaining rigorous standards, and mentoring other analysts without formal people management responsibilities.
You improve team capability by mentoring peers, refining tradecraft, and strengthening repeatable workflows for ransomware investigations and asset recovery support.
We are building a safer world.
This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined.

5-8+ years of professional experience in blockchain intelligence, crypto investigations, cybercrime analysis, threat intelligence, financial crime investigations, or a comparable senior analytical role.
Excellent written and verbal communication - especially the ability to turn technically complex tracing findings into understandable, actionable intelligence for government and private-sector audiences.
Strong judgment, curiosity, and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment where timing matters and outputs must still stand up to scrutiny.
US Citizenship required
Work that often requires operating with a high degree of ambiguity

Experience in government, national security, law enforcement, incident response, or mature private-sector investigative or threat intelligence programs.
Familiarity with OSINT, cybercrime infrastructure research, and cross-domain analytical methods that combine blockchain activity with off-chain signals and adversary behavior.
Comfort with modern investigative tooling, including AI and structured data environments such as TRM, Maltego, Palantir, or similar platforms.
Experience conducting HUMINT collection and engaging threat actors via dark web forums and encrypted messaging platforms.
Experience mentoring peers, shaping analytical standards, or improving investigative workflows without formal people management.
Advanced practitioner-level knowledge of crypto forensics concepts such as manual demixing, smart contracts, bridges, Ethereum- and TRON-based investigations, and OSINT-based data extraction.
Recognized subject matter depth, broader organizational influence, and a track record of shaping methodology or high-priority investigative strategy beyond individual case execution.
Weekly team syncs to align targeting priorities and review disruption opportunities

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.
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.
