Build to Protect Civilization

TRM is a blockchain intelligence company that’s on a mission to build a safer financial system for billions of people. We’re a lean, high-impact team tackling some of the world’s most critical challenges, ranging from human trafficking and financial fraud to terrorist financing. We are builders who power governments, financial institutions, and crypto companies when the clock is running and the consequences are real. This is why every TRMer is a bet on our future and has the power to change our trajectory.

About the Position

Our ability to identify, hire, and retain exceptional talent is foundational to our mission. The Talent team at TRM is composed of deeply experienced professionals who have built elite Engineering, Data Science, GTM, and People teams at some of the most ambitious startups in Silicon Valley.

We’re now looking for a Recruiter focused on our People team, spanning Human Resources, People Operations, and Talent Acquisition. In this role, you’ll play a critical part in scaling the foundational functions that power our growth, helping us hire the builders, operators, and strategic partners who will shape TRM’s culture and employee experience in our next stage of growth.

This is a high-ownership role embedded within the Talent function, with a direct impact on TRM’s ability to scale.

We’re open to:

  • Technical Recruiters that are excited to make a pivot!
  • Experienced G&A Recruiters with a track record of building high-performing recruiting and people teams (especially in fast-paced startups or VC-backed environments)

The impact you’ll have here:

  • Own full-cycle recruiting for Talent team roles — including recruiters, sourcers, and recruiting coordinators
  • Partner directly with Talent and People leaders to define role needs, align on success signals, and drive hiring outcomes
  • Source exceptional recruiting talent, with a focus on high-caliber profiles who thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments
  • Deliver a high-touch candidate experience, with memorable moments.
  • Help shape how we hire build a world-class people org. 

What we’re looking for:

  • 7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in fast-paced, high-growth tech companies
  • Demonstrated success hiring recruiters, sourcers, and talent operators
  • Bonus: experience hiring for People/HR functions (e.g. HRBP, Total Rewards, People Ops)
  • Deep sourcing expertise — you know how to engage passive talent and build strong, diverse pipelines
  • Metrics-oriented: you use funnel data to refine search strategies, calibrate quickly, and improve speed/quality
  • High-trust partner to hiring managers: you drive alignment, communicate proactively, and challenge constructively
  • Operate with urgency, ownership, and persistence — you care deeply about quality, and you follow through

About the Team:

  • Our talent team is fully remote, embracing async communication and collaboration through Slack channels, thorough documentation, and proactive updates to keep work moving forward smoothly across time zones.
  • We’re committed to structured alignment, holding weekly hiring syncs for each role, weekly team sourcing syncs, and bi-weekly team meetings to ensure everyone is on the same page and to solve challenges collectively.
  • Driven by a dedication to our craft, we continuously refine our best practices and data quality to deliver an exceptional experience for both internal stakeholders and candidates, supported by precise, reliable reporting.
  • As a globally distributed team, we operate across various time zones, yet most of us overlap for collaboration and meetings between 7am-12pm PST, bringing flexibility and resilience to our work routines.
  • All team members, regardless of location, maintain at least a 4-hour overlap with PST business hours to enable real-time collaboration and drive solutions effectively across the team.

Learn about TRM Speed in this position:

  • Within 72 hours of receiving a position, you schedule the intake meeting, open the position in the ATS, post the description, design the interview process, configure the interview plan. 
  • Within week of opening a position, you have conducted 5-10 Recruiter Screens and have conducted the first sync with the Hiring Team for calibration.
  • Two weeks after the initial interviews, you analyze the data to identify what is and isn’t driving pass rates and conversions. You share your insights and recommendations with the hiring team to refine and optimize the search, and you continue to monitor and adjust the approach until the position is filled.

Life at TRM

We build to protect civilization. That promise shows up in how we work every day.

TRM runs fast. Really fast. We’re a high-velocity team that expects ownership, clarity, and follow-through. People who thrive here are inspired by hard problems, experimentation, direct feedback. If it takes months elsewhere, it often ships here in days. If you are optimizing primarily for consistent work-life balance, use the interview process to pressure-test fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.

We coach directly, assume positive intent, and play for the front of the jersey.

Leadership Principles
  • Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first, driving for speed, focus, and adaptability.
  • Master Craftsperson: We prioritize speed, high standards, and distributed ownership.
  • Inspiring Colleague: We value humility, candor, and a one-team mindset.

What You’ll Do Here

This work has teeth. At TRM, your week might include:

  • Driving critical investigations that can’t wait for typical business hours.
  • Shipping products in days when others would schedule quarters.
  • Partnering with teams across time zones to deliver insights while the story is still unfolding.
  • Building new solutions from first principles when the playbook doesn’t yet exist.
  • Protecting victims and customers by tracing illicit activity and disrupting criminal networks.
Join our Mission

We look for people who want their work to matter, who build with speed and rigor, and who take pride in protecting others through their craft. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, apply anyway. We hire for slope, judgment, and the will to learn fast.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
