About TRM Labs

Trusted by public sector agencies and private sector institutions on the front lines of illicit activity, including criminal networks, sanctioned actors and state-backed threats. Backed by Bessemer and Y Combinator.

About the role

When a protocol is drained, or an exchange is compromised, our customers need to know within minutes or hours which addresses to block and where the funds are going. You will own TRM's answer to that, end-to-end. As a Senior / Staff Threat Intelligence Analyst , you will lead TRM's hacks category: the metrics, the system that hits them, and the small contractor team that keeps it running around the clock. We align on the outcome; the approach is yours. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of professional experience in blockchain intelligence, crypto investigations, cyber threat intelligence, incident response, or a closely related field
  • Has owned incident response in a high-stakes environment (exchange, security firm, incident response, or CTI team): war rooms, incident reports, communications under pressure
  • Strong blockchain tracing across major chains (BTC, EVM, TRON, Solana), including bridges, cross-chain swaps, and mixers
  • Understands how DeFi, bridge, and exchange exploits work, and how attackers behave after the theft
  • Applied AI fluency. We expect you to already be building AI-assisted or agentic workflows in your daily analytical work, to be able to show how you validate their outputs and where they fail, and to treat AI as a force multiplier
  • Experience managing contractors or leading a small team
