<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">Build a Safer World.</h2>
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&rsquo;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.
The AI Engineering Team is chartered with enabling next-generation AI applications, with a special focus on Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic systems. Our mission is to build robust pipelines, high-performance infrastructure, and operational tooling that allow AI systems to be deployed with speed, safety, and scale.
We manage petabyte-scale pipelines, serve models with millisecond-level latency, and provide the observability and governance needed to make AI production-ready. We&rsquo;re also deeply involved in evaluating and integrating cutting-edge tools in the LLM and agent space &mdash; including open-source stacks, vector databases, evaluation frameworks, and orchestration tools that unlock TRM&rsquo;s ability to innovate faster than the market.
As a Senior or Staff ML Systems Engineer &ndash; LLM, you&rsquo;ll be at the core of building and scaling the technical infrastructure for AI/ML systems. You will:<ul><li>
Build reusable CI/CD workflows for model training, evaluation, and deployment &mdash; integrating Langfuse, GitHub Actions, and experiment tracking, etc.</li><li>
Automate model versioning, approval workflows, and compliance checks across environments.</li><li>

Containerization and orchestration (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes)</li><li>
Infrastructure-as-code and deployment (e.g. Terraform, CI/CD pipelines)</li><li>
Monitoring and logging frameworks (e.g. Datadog, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry)</li></ul></li><li>
Understand and implement ML Ops best practices, including:<ul><li>
Model versioning and rollback strategies</li><li>
Automated evaluation and drift detection</li><li>
Scalable model and agent serving infrastructure (e.g. vLLM, Triton, BentoML)</li></ul></li><li>

Monitoring cost, latency, and performance</li><li>
Capturing traces for analysis and debugging</li><li>
Optimizing prompt/response flows with real-time data access</li></ul></li><li>
Demonstrate strong ownership and pragmatism, balancing infrastructure elegance with iterative delivery and measurable impact.</li></ul>
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:<ul><li>
Rapid Issue Resolution. TRM Engineers identify and resolve critical onsite issues in minutes to hours, not weeks. We create virtual war rooms, implement fixes, and share lessons with both customer stakeholders and internal teams within 48 hours.</li><li>
Navigating Bureaucracy. We anticipate and address procedural hurdles, build trust with key stakeholders, and find alternative pathways to approvals. This keeps projects moving even in complex environments.</li><li>
Efficient Knowledge Transfer. Engineers document and share updates in real time, ensuring the entire team&mdash;onsite and remote&mdash;has full visibility into plans, blockers, and resolutions. Knowledge sharing sessions and clear documentation reduce friction and accelerate delivery.</li></ul>

Ruthless Prioritization &amp; 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 &ndash; we don&rsquo;t let inertia guide our decisions. Instead we focus on ruthless prioritization and pivot quickly as needed.</li><li>
Challenging Timelines (Execution Pressure): An engineer questions a teammate&rsquo;s proposed 3-week timeline, and constructively argues for condensing it to 2 weeks&mdash;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.</li><li>
Time-Boxed Spiking (Rapid Learning &amp; 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.</li></ul>
