[Hiring] Global Investigations, Sextortion @TRM Labs

Role Description

As a Global Investigator, you will work at the targeting and disruption layer of sextortion investigations. You will:

• Lead OSINT-driven investigations into sextortion actors — identifying aliases, personas, infrastructure, social-media footprints, communication channels, bait packs and reused lure imagery, and links across victims and campaigns.
• Follow the money across the rails this threat actually uses — consumer payment apps (Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, Apple Pay), gift cards, and cryptocurrency where cases are crypto-enabled — and draft and work the legal process to act on it.
• Pivot on selectors — a handle, phone number, email, username, image, domain, account, or a cryptocurrency address — to expand a single report into the surrounding network.
• Produce actionable targeting packages that connect OSINT findings, financial evidence, and victim reporting to identify responsible actors and networks, enabling law-enforcement action, platform takedowns, and infrastructure disruption.
• Validate time-sensitive victim and infrastructure signals and move high-confidence matters through the escalation workflow. Speed and accuracy both matter.
• Help drive victim safety — supporting outreach to victims.

Qualifications

• Law-enforcement experience.
• OSINT investigations background.
• Financial-investigations experience.
• Sextortion or victim-centered cybercrime investigation experience.
• Legal-process familiarity.
• 5-7 years of investigative experience across OSINT, cybercrime, crypto investigations, asset recovery, law enforcement, trust and safety, blockchain analytics, or equivalent.
• Experience producing investigative packages that can support formal legal, compliance, platform escalation, asset-preservation, or enforcement workflows.
• Creative tactical thinking.
• A bias to action.
• AI fluency.
• US citizenship and the ability to obtain Public Trust clearance.

Requirements

• React timely to the movement of funds during an ongoing investigation.
• Support other teams on time sensitive issues that might be unforeseen.
• Continuously learn new issues in crypto.

Benefits

• High velocity, high ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact.
• Environment that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes.
• Opportunity to work at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting crime.
