Full Job Description
BUILD A SAFER WORLD. TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. 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. The Scam Investigations team is TRM’s tip of the spear against pig butchering syndicates, romance fraud networks, and investment scam operations that steal billions from victims each year.
