[Hiring] Senior AI Engineer (AI Automation) @TRM Labs

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer (AI Automation) who is excited to work hands-on with modern AI technologies, build custom internal tools, and operate with a high degree of ownership. This role is ideal for engineers who want to stay deeply technical while also shaping what gets built, not just how it’s built.

As a member of the AI & Automation team, you will:

• Design, build, and own full-stack, AI-powered internal applications, including backend services, APIs, data storage, and user-facing interfaces.
• Develop custom agentic solutions that leverage state-of-the-art AI models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) to automate workflows, augment decision-making, and scale business processes.
• Embed within internal teams to deeply understand their goals, constraints, and key metrics, then translate those needs into technical solutions with clear success criteria.
• Own projects end-to-end, including technical design, architecture decisions, scoping, delivery, iteration, and ongoing support.
• Collaborate with non-technical stakeholders to expand their understanding of what’s possible with AI and help shape more ambitious solutions.
• Build reliable, scalable systems that are used across the organization and touch critical parts of TRM’s operations.
• Continuously evaluate impact, iterating on solutions quarter-over-quarter based on measurable business outcomes.
• Contribute to a fast-moving, high-ownership engineering culture that values quality, velocity, and real-world impact.

Qualifications

• 6+ years full-stack software engineering experience building scalable web applications, services, and APIs.
• Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and/or Python, and comfort working across the stack including frontend development (React or similar frameworks).
• Experience building backend systems, working with various datastores such as (Postgres/pgvector, Pinecone, Redis) and designing APIs.
• Demonstrated curiosity and hands-on experience with AI tools and applications - using modern AI models, agentic IDEs, or building AI-enabled workflows or prototypes.
• Experience building or experimenting with custom developed agentic systems, workflow orchestration tools (n8n), or Agentic browser automation.
• A high degree of ownership and initiative, with the ability to operate independently in ambiguous problem spaces.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience collaborating cross-functionally and building trust with stakeholders at all levels of the organization.

Requirements

• Direct experience integrating automated AI Evaluation/Testing/Observability suites to continuously test model effectiveness leveraging platforms such as DeepEval, Langfuse/LangSmith or similar.

Benefits

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