You'll work alongside experienced blockchain intelligence experts, engineers, and data scientists to deliver cutting-edge support to TRM's clients.

This role suits someone with a strong crypto-investigations and LE background who can lead from a long-term, intentional perspective, not just execute tasks. - A top candidate will be stretched by the caliber of the team and the ambiguity of the cases: novel on-chain typologies, adversarial actors, and time pressure from active investigations.
