Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst, Crypto
TRM Labs, Washington, District of Columbia, United States
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 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.
Role Overview The threats TRM’s analysts work to disrupt aren’t abstract — they fund violence, enable exploitation, and undermine global security. As a
Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst, Crypto , you will drive TRM’s collection, analysis, and reporting on the actors and networks behind these harms, applying threat intelligence tradecraft to identify, track, and expose adversaries operating in the crypto ecosystem.
The Impact You’ll Have Here
Develop novel collection strategies and analytic methodologies to surface threat actor activity that isn’t visible through conventional tooling or open databases
Conduct proactive threat hunting across on‑chain and off‑chain data sources to identify emerging illicit networks before they’re widely known
Track, analyze, and report on threat actors, campaigns, and illicit networks operating in the crypto ecosystem
Identify and assess adversary TTPs, infrastructure, and behavior to support detection and attribution efforts
Leverage OSINT and other intelligence methods to uncover hidden threats and generate actionable insights
Produce high‑quality intelligence that reaches law enforcement and government partners worldwide
Collaborate with data, engineering, and product teams to enhance TRM’s intelligence capabilities
Be a leading voice on the illicit use of crypto and blockchain technologies
What We’re Looking For
Demonstrated ability to develop original hypotheses and pursue non‑obvious investigative threads — not just working known leads, but finding the leads others miss
Comfort operating in ambiguous, low‑signal environments where the analytic path forward has to be constructed, not followed
A track record of producing original findings — not just synthesizing existing reporting, but generating net‑new intelligence
Proven experience in threat intelligence, cyber intelligence, or national security intelligence roles (this is not an entry‑level position)
Working knowledge of blockchain and cryptocurrency — including how transactions work, on‑chain tracing concepts, and the role of crypto in financial crime (e.g., ransomware, sanctions evasion, darknet markets)
Experience tracking threat actors, cybercrime groups, or nation‑state activity
Ability to analyze threat actor TTPs, infrastructure, and behavior
Strong analytical and communication skills with the ability to produce clear, actionable intelligence reports with high intelligence tradecraft standards
Ability to collaborate cross‑functionally with technical and non‑technical stakeholders
Ownership mindset with the ability to operate in fast‑paced and ambiguous environments
Hands‑on experience with blockchain analysis tools (e.g., Chainalysis Reactor, TRM, Elliptic) or formal cryptocurrency investigation experience
Relevant certifications (e.g., GIAC, CEH, Chainalysis Reactor Certification) or background in cybersecurity, intelligence, or investigations
Ability to conduct research in another language (please specify in your application)
About The Team
Our team values open communication and a collaborative work environment, where feedback and ideas are encouraged from all members.
We prioritize flexibility and adaptability, ensuring that everyone stays aligned through regular check‑ins and progress updates. Operating with a strong focus on shared goals, we work together to meet deadlines while supporting individual growth and innovation.
We are a globally distributed team that leans heavily on asynchronous communication. While we aim for ~3–4 hours of overlap with the Pacific Time Zone, schedules are flexible and may occasionally adjust to support team collaboration.
Learn About TRM Speed In This Position
Utilizes sound judgment and the 80/20 principle to drive rapid, high‑impact outcomes.
Demonstrates the ability to iterate quickly in response to evolving threat landscapes.
Leverages creative problem‑solving to ensure prompt and effective threat actor engagement to acquire attribution within 24 hours.
Employs a diverse set of methodologies to scale and optimize threat intelligence production for customer needs within 72 hours.
AI Fluency at TRM AI fluency is a baseline expectation at TRM. We believe AI meaningfully changes how top performers operate. We expect every team member to use AI to accelerate and reimagine their craft, not just automate surface tasks.
Accelerate repeatable workflows
Structure and solve problems
Improve output quality
Increase speed and leverage
Leadership Principles
Impact‑Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment – test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly.
Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.
Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one‑team mindset — giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.
Join Our Mission At TRM we care deeply about our craft. We are looking for individuals who want their work to matter, who experiment with speed and rigor, and who take pride in building a safer world for billions of people. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply — we hire for slope, judgment, and the will to learn fast.
