Senior Data Scientist, Financial Services
Build a Safer World.
TRM Labs provides blockchain analytics and AI solutions to help law enforcement and national security agencies, financial institutions, and cryptocurrency businesses detect, investigate, and disrupt crypto-related fraud and financial crime. TRM’s blockchain intelligence and AI platforms include solutions to trace the source and destination of funds, identify illicit activity, build cases, and construct an operating picture of threats. TRM is trusted by leading agencies and businesses worldwide who rely on TRM to enable a safer, more secure world for all.
As a Senior Data Scientist, you will have end-to-end ownership of critical analytics products for TRM’s customers and employees. In collaboration with a highly skilled team of engineers, data scientists, research scientists and go-to-market teams, your goal will be to uncover valuable and defensible information that can be used to detect, prevent, and mitigate cryptocurrency fraud and financial crime.
The products and models you create will be specifically designed to creatively solve new crypto-industry challenges from identifying new threat vectors to building best-in-class blockchain analytics products. These tools will be consumed by prestigious entities such as former FBI, Secret Service, as well as industry leaders in the private sector, enabling them to stay ahead of evolving criminal activities in the cryptocurrency space.
The impact you will have here:
• Lead the implementation of new advanced analytics products that allow our customers and employees to explore and uncover hidden insights through complex blockchain data such as assessing the risk of DeFi services, stablecoins, global regulations and other crypto-trends.
• Lead the roadmap and prioritization of analytics and AI products suite.
• Use your high-level business acumen to collaborate with internal teams (GTM, Intelligence, Global Investigation, etc.) and work directly with our customers to understand their challenges and pain points in order to creatively translate them into actionable insights and products.
• Develop complex statistical analysis, algorithms, and interactive visualizations that will be consumed by former FBI, Secret Service, and Europol agents and analysts to detect new threat vectors unique to cryptocurrencies and blockchains.
• Collaborate with engineers and data scientists to design algorithms to analyze complex data structures inherent to cryptocurrencies and blockchains. This will involve working with distributed ledger technologies, cryptographic protocols, and transactional data to uncover suspicious activities.
• As a leader in the team, you will collaborate closely with product managers and analysts to align on project goals, methodologies, and deliverables. You will communicate your findings and insights effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Develop your skills through exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues
• Establish best practices and statistical rigor around data-driven decision-making
What we’re looking for:
• Your academic background is in a quantitative field such as Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering, Economics or Physics. Advanced degree preferred.
• You have 8+ years of experience working in an analytical role.
• You are outcome-oriented and you have experience in a very face-paced environment.
• You have a strong knowledge of relational databases, (e.g. SQL).
• You have a strong experience building internal scalable data and analytics products from design to deployment phases that have organisational-level impact.
• You have proven experience with at least one programming language (Python preferred) and are comfortable developing code in a team environment (e.g. git, notebooks, testing).
• You think about data in terms of statistical distributions and have a big enough analytics toolbox to know how to find patterns in data and identify targets for performance.
• You have excellent verbal and written communication skills and experience in influencing decisions with information.
• You have a high tolerance for ambiguity. You find a way through. You anticipate. You connect and synthesize.
About the Team:
• The team operates with a high level of collaboration and interdependence, fostering an inclusive culture where connections extend beyond work. We value diverse personalities and seek someone who is both results-driven and sociable, with strong communication, leadership, and teamwork skills, along with a positive, solutions-oriented mindset.
• As a globally distributed team, members may observe different timezones. However, most of the team will overlap between the hours of 7am-12pm PST for meetings and collaboration.
• All team members, regardless of location must have at least 4 hour overlap with PST business hours.
• The team is involved in an Analytics on-call process (average of Apply tot his job
