TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.\nTeam & position summary\nWe are looking for a Software Engineer, API Integrations to join TRM’s AI Engineering team, focused on building the third-party integrations and scalable integration platform that power our AI-native products. You will design and ship reliable connectors, APIs, services, and integration infrastructure that allow TRM’s AI systems to access external data sources safely, quickly, and at scale.\nIn this role, you will work closely with engineers, product managers, data teams, and internal users to turn integration needs into production-grade systems. You will help improve the speed, quality, and reliability of how TRM connects to external intelligence sources, ultimately supporting our mission to build a safer financial system for the world.\nThe impact you will have:\nDesign, build, and maintain third-party API integrations that power TRM’s Agentic products and workflows.\n\nDevelop scalable integration infrastructure, shared services, and internal tooling that make it faster and safer to add new data sources.\n\nBuild reliable APIs, backend services, and data pipelines that support high-volume, mission-critical product experiences.\n\nCollaborate with product, engineering, data, and internal stakeholders to translate integration needs into clear technical roadmaps and measurable outcomes.\n\nImprove the quality, observability, reliability, and maintainability of TRM’s integration platform as usage grows across the business.\n\nWhat we’re looking for:\nExperience designing and building scalable backend systems, APIs, web services, and production software.\n\nStrong understanding of third-party API integration patterns, including authentication, rate limits, retries, error handling, data normalization, and monitoring.\n\nExperience with storage systems such as relational databases, analytical databases, queues, caches, or event-driven architectures.\n\nAbility to work through ambiguity, structure complex problems, and identify the highest-impact technical priorities.\n\nStrong ownership mindset and comfort driving projects from vague requirements through production launch and iteration.\n\nAbility to communicate complex technical ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.\n\nExperience working collaboratively in a cross-functional environment with product, design, data, infrastructure, and customer-facing teams.\n\nExperience with OSINT data sources a plus\n\nExperience with AI Production Systems a plus\n\nAbout the Team:\nThe AI Engineering team builds the systems, workflows, and infrastructure behind TRM’s AI-native products. This role sits on the team focused on third-party integrations and the scalable platform that enables TRM to connect to external data sources quickly, reliably, and securely.\n\nThe team operates on a weekly sprint schedule. Engineers are expected to lead projects as technical anchors and are given opportunities to grow ownership according to their level and goals.\n\nWe work closely with product, design, data platform, infrastructure, and customer-facing teams to deliver capabilities that directly impact customers and internal users.\n\nThe team’s culture is built on psychological safety, high ownership, trust, accountability, and a bias toward shipping useful systems quickly.\n\nThe team’s timezone is a mix of EST and PST, with at least 6 hours of overlap with PST, generally from 8 am to 2 pm PST.\n\nOn-call: We have an on-call rotation that is approximately one week long and occurs once every 4-6 weeks. On-call work includes responding to PagerDuty alerts that warrant immediate attention and triaging customer or internal support requests from designated Slack channels.\n\nLearn about TRM Speed in this position:\nThe team is often tasked with delivering critical integration work on tight timelines. In one example, a project initially estimated to take two months was delivered in two weeks by ruthlessly prioritizing, bringing in the right implementation support, and partnering with product to descope the first milestone while preserving immediate customer value. The project was able to deliver value quickly in sales conversations while the team continued to iterate on future milestones.\nEngineers at TRM are empowered to drive decision-making across product, design, and technical implementation. Rather than waiting days for alignment, engineers are expected to analyze tradeoffs, propose solutions, and move discussions toward clear decisions.\nThe following represents the expected range of compensation for this role:\nIndividual pay is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. The compensation details listed in this posting reflect the US base salary only.\n\nAdditionally, this role may be eligible to participate in TRM’s equity plan.\n\nPlease note - we factor in the different costs for geographies outside the United States.\n\nTRM has a large group of internal power users who provide fast product feedback. When engineers identify a clear pain point from this group, they are empowered to ship targeted improvements directly to beta users without multiple layers of approval.\n\nIn this role, speed means building integrations that are useful quickly, then hardening them into scalable, observable, and reusable platform capabilities as usage grows.\n\nApplication Instructions\nIf you’re interested in joining TRM, we encourage you to apply directly. Every application is reviewed by our Talent team.\nBefore applying, review the job description carefully and highlight the experience and impact that best demonstrate the required qualifications. Please also provide thoughtful and accurate answers to the application questions, as these will be used to evaluate your skills and qualifications for the role.\nIf you send your resume directly to someone at TRM, we can’t guarantee it will reach the appropriate hiring team. Applying directly is the best way to ensure your application will be considered.\nInterviewing with TRM\nOur process is designed to understand how you think, solve problems, and deliver impact, while allowing you to evaluate TRM. Most interview processes include a case study, an AI skills assessment, and a Leadership Principles interview.\nRecruiter Intro: Qualifications, motivations, and alignment with the role.\n\nHiring Manager: Deep dive into your relevant experience, skills, and impact.\n\nFirst Round: 1-2 interviews focused on the skills most critical to the role.\n\nFinal Round: Hands-on case study. This is usually a panel-style session where we go deeper into your craft, problem-solving, and alignment with TRM.\n\nReferences: Former colleagues who can provide insight into your work and impact.\n\nOffer: Congrats! Your recruiter will present the offer and compensation details.\n\nWelcome to TRM: We're excited to build a safer world with you!\n\nYour recruiter will share your specific interview plan and preparation guidance along the way.\nAI Fluency at TRM\nAI fluency is a baseline expectation at TRM.\nWe believe AI meaningfully changes how top performers operate. We expect every team member to use AI to accelerate and reimagine their craft, not just automate surface tasks.\nAt TRM, AI fluency means you are among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to:\nAccelerate repeatable workflows\n\nStructure and solve problems\n\nImprove output quality\n\nIncrease speed and leverage\n\nYou will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.\nLife at TRM\nWe are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.\nTRM moves FAST. We are a high-velocity, high-ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and continuous feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it will ship here in days.\nOur work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly. The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission. As a result, the way we operate requires a high level of ownership, adaptability, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.\nAt TRM, you should expect:\nPriorities and targets to change quickly\n\nOperating with a high degree of ambiguity\n\nA high level of personal ownership and accountability\n\nClose collaboration across teams and functions\n\nFrequent, high-touch communication\n\nCreative problem-solving and out-of-the-box thinking\n\nA pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes\n\nThis environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires thriving in ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment.\nWe also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure-test whether this environment is truly the right fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.\nIf you are excited by meaningful problems, motivated by ambitious goals, and energized by working alongside mission-driven colleagues, there is a good chance you will find TRM to be an exceptional place to grow and contribute.\nLeadership Principles\nWe hire and grow against three leadership principles. They’re the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.\nImpact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment - test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly.\n\nMaster Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end-to-end, and invest in getting better everyday.\n\nInspiring Colleague: 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.\n\nJoin our Mission\nAt 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.\nTRM is a Series C company with $220M in total funding, backed by Goldman Sachs, Bessemer, Y Combinator, Thoma Bravo, and others.
