Engineering Manager, Data

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.

TRM Labs is building the world's most advanced blockchain intelligence platform. We're looking for an Engineering Manager, Data to own the platforms that power TRM's intelligence data products, from ingestion and processing to serving and front-end delivery. You'll lead two highly synergistic sub-teams and drive end-to-end outcomes that get intelligence into customers' hands faster.

The impact you will have:

• Own the platform that supports 1+ petabyte of intelligence products including batch processing, real-time, 24/7 API requirements
• Build the next-generation of foundational AI architecture for blockchain intelligence infrastructure
• Drive 10x improvement in the speed and overhead of getting new intelligence models and data products to customers
• Lead and hire for two sub-teams spanning from data infrastructure through product-facing delivery, raising the bar on technical quality and AI fluency
• Set the technical direction for production systems, making sound bets on architecture, tooling, and platform investments
• Build platforms that accelerate DS team work; making it seamless and fast for data scientists to test and deliver intelligence data products

What we're looking for:

• 8+ years of hands-on data/engineering experience with 4+ years of direct people management
• A player-coach who stays close to the technical work - reviewing architecture, debugging pipelines, making system design decisions - while also setting team strategy
• Must have owned production systems at scale: customer-facing data products, APIs, or decisioning engines - not analytics or BI systems
• Strong Python and SQL; experience with Big Query, Airflow, data lake architecture, serving layers
• Active daily user of AI tools to accelerate development and challenge assumptions
• Good judgment; you'll be making decisions on the technological bets and investments that define TRM's platform

About the Team:

• The computational intelligence team builds the production data science capabilities that power TRM's intelligence products
• This manager role owns the Blockchain Intel Product Pod and Intel Platform sub-teams, a cohesive unit spanning platform infrastructure through product delivery
• Culture is high-trust, technically rigorous, fast-moving, direct, ownership-heavy, and AI-native

Team Operating Rhythms:

• Distributed, not distant: the team is primarily US-based and operates across EST/PST timezones
• Async-first communication via Slack for day-to-day coordination;
  Notion and Jira for project tracking and documentation
• Regular cross-functional syncs with public sector GTM, threat intelligence, and product teams to align on intelligence requirements and delivery timelines
