Responsibilities
- BUILD A SAFER WORLD.
Requirements
- TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime.
- The AI Engineering Team is chartered with enabling next-generation AI applications, with a special focus on Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic systems.
- Our mission is to build robust pipelines, high-performance infrastructure, and operational tooling that allow AI systems to be deployed with speed, safety, and scale.
- We manage petabyte-scale pipelines, serve models with millisecond-level latency, and provide the observability and governance needed to make AI production-ready.
- We’re also deeply involved in evaluating and integrating cutting-edge tools in the LLM and agent space — including open-source stacks, vector databases, evaluation frameworks, and orchestration tools that unlock TRM’s ability to innovate faster than the market.
- OpenAI, Anthropic, local models), including prompt engineering, RAG, and evaluation loops - Design safe, observable, and auditable agent behaviors — ensuring reliability in high-sensitivity environments - Evaluate performance across metrics like reasoning, latency, success rate, and hallucination, and iterate based on user feedback and system telemetry - Contribute to a culture of high ownership, rapid experimentation, and ethical AI deployment What we’re looking for: - Strong engineering background with
- experience in backend or systems work (Python preferred) - Hands-on
- experience building with LLMs, agents, and tooling frameworks (LangChain, semantic caches, vector DBs, etc.) - Comfort working with agentic pipelines and optimizing information flow into AI systems - Thoughtful approach to system design, with an eye for safety, scalability, and explainability - High product empathy - you care about how agents impact real users (analysts) and optimize accordingly - Bias toward experimentation and iteration - you’re excited to try, learn, and ship fast - Previous experience
