What to Expect at TRM

TRM moves fast—really fast. We know a lot of startups say that, but we mean it. We operate with urgency, ownership, and high standards. As a result, you’ll be joining a team that’s highly engaged, mission-driven, and constantly evolving.

To support this intensity, we’re also intentional about rest and recharge. We offer generous benefits, including PTO, Holidays, and Parental Leave for full time employees.

That said, TRM may not be the right fit for everyone. If you're optimizing for work life balance, we encourage you to:

Ask your interviewers how they personally approach balance within their teams, and
Reflect on whether this is the right season in your life to join a high-velocity environment.
Be honest with yourself about what energizes you—and what drains you

We’re upfront about this because we want every new team member to thrive—not just survive.

The Stakes Are Real

Our work has direct, real-world impact:

Jumping online after hours to support urgent government requests tracing ransomware payments.
Delivering actionable insights during terrorist financing investigations.
Collaborating across time zones in real time during a major global hack.
Building new processes in days, not weeks, to stop criminals before they cash out.
Analyzing blockchain data to recover stolen savings and dismantle trafficking networks.
