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.\nThe Full-Stack Product Engineering team is responsible for building a comprehensive set of features, frameworks, and functionalities for both end customers and internal-facing teams to successfully execute and scale TRM’s business. We are looking for a pragmatic full-stack engineer who can build reliable and scalable software that will be used by all TRM customers. You’ll also design backend APIs with a deep understanding of the customer experience and performance.\nAs an early member of the team, you will be deeply involved in the technical details along with our operational processes to champion the velocity, quality, and overall impact of TRM, ultimately building a safer financial system for billions of people.\nThe impact you’ll have here:\nWork on complex engineering problems that help you build and hone not only technical skills but also project management and human/soft skills.\n\nDevelop and maintain public APIs that are part of the API Product suite\n\nCollaborate with stakeholders on transforming a functional vision into a tangible roadmap with clear outcomes.\n\nSupport and enable internal business units through shared engineering services and functionalities.\n\nDevelop cross-functional relationships with stakeholders across the organization to understand and empower their mission from end to end.\n\nExperience designing and building scalable systems, web applications, APIs, and services (our backend is built in Node.js but prior experience in Node.js is not required; we believe tools and languages can be learned on the job)\n\nWhat we’re looking for:\nBackend engineering experience building and operating scalable production-grade services (e.g Node.js, Java, Python, Go, or similar.\n\nProficiency in modern frontend development, including frameworks such as React, with experience building interactive, design-heavy high-performance UIs.\n\nExperience designing and building scalable systems, web applications, APIs, and services.\n\nAn understanding of storage systems such as relational databases (e.g., Postgres) and analytical databases.\n\nDemonstrated experience in understanding customer pain points and bridging their needs to technical & product requirements.\n\nA high degree of initiative and ownership, combined with the ability to navigate ambiguity and adapt quickly to change.\n\nExceptional ability to structure problems and identify the most critical issues to prioritize.\n\nAbility to communicate complex ideas effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences, verbally and in writing.\n\nExperience working collaboratively in a cross-functional environment with a diverse group of people at all levels in an organization.\n\nUS Citizenship required\n\nAbout the Team:\nThe team operates on a weekly sprint schedule. Individuals on the team are tasked to lead projects as technical anchors, and given a chance to grow and take ownership according to their level and goals. We work closely with our internal stakeholders to deliver impactful features to our internal customers and the company.\n\nThe team’s culture is built on psychological safety wherein team members build rapport and trust-based relationships with teammates, hold each other accountable and to a high bar, collaborate extensively, and have lots of fun along the way.\n\nThe team’s timezone is a mix of EST and PST with at least 6 hours of overlap with PST (8 am to 2 pm PST)\n\nOn-Call: We have an on-call rotation that is a week long in duration approximately once every 15 weeks. On-call requests can be categorized into two large buckets; a) PagerDuty alerts that warrant immediate attention and b) customer support requests from specific Slack channels that an on-call engineer is responsible for triaging and answering.\n\nTechnical stack:\nFrontend: React + TypeScript is the de-facto standard.\n\nBackend: Node/TypeScript, Python, Go, etc., with service-oriented architectures and distributed systems experience.\n\nData: Postgres/BQ; sometimes GraphQL; comfort with data modeling and performance. real time is a plus.\n\nCloud: GCP; CI/CD are expected; containers and K8s is a plus.\n\nLearn about TRM Speed in this position:\nRuthless Prioritization & 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 - we don’t let inertia guide our decisions. Instead we focus on ruthless prioritization and pivot quickly as needed.\n\nChallenging Timelines (Execution Pressure): An engineer questions a teammate’s proposed 3-week timeline, and constructively argues for condensing it to 2 weeks-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.\n\nTime-Boxed Spiking (Rapid Learning & 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.\n\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\nThe estimated base salary range for this role is $211,000 - $250,000.\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\nAbout TRM's Engineering Levels:\nEngineer: Responsible for helping to define project milestones and executing small decisions independently with the appropriate tradeoffs between simplicity, readability, and performance. Provides mentorship to junior engineers, and enhances operational excellence through tech debt reduction and knowledge sharing.\nSenior Engineer: Successfully designs and documents system improvements and features for an OKR/project from the ground up. Consistently delivers efficient and reusable systems, optimizes team throughput with appropriate tradeoffs, mentors team members, and enhances cross-team collaboration through documentation and knowledge sharing.\nStaff Engineer: Drives scoping and execution of one or more OKRs/projects that impact multiple teams. Partners with stakeholders to set the team vision and technical roadmaps for one or more products. Is a role model and mentor to the entire engineering organization.
