We believe that a blockchain-based global economy can improve the lives of billions of people. But the same properties that make cryptocurrencies a force for good — permissionless, programmable, and instantaneous — can also make them susceptible to criminal and fraudulent activity, which causes harm to our financial system at unprecedented speed and scale.

At TRM, we're on a mission to build trust in digital assets, because the promise of crypto is too valuable to be impeded by bad actors. We provide a blockchain intelligence platform to law enforcement, financial institutions, and crypto firms to assist in the detection and prevention of cryptocurrency fraud and financial crime. Our vision is to build a company that can sustainably deliver on our mission for decades to come, enabling consumers to transact safely and securely on the blockchain

Our ability to identify, hire, and retain exceptional talent is foundational to our mission. The Talent team at TRM is made up of seasoned professionals who have experience hiring world-class Engineering, Data Science, GTM, and People teams for the most notable startups in Silicon Valley.

As a Technical Sourcer, you will contribute to the sourcing efforts of our engineering and data science teams. Your success will be measured by the velocity and quality of TRM's talent acquisition.

The impact you’ll have here:

Enthusiastically source, recruit, and maintain strong candidate pipelines for technical positions that span across our engineering, data science, and blockchain intelligence teams.
Develop and execute creative sourcing strategies that reach the top technical talent in the world.
Expand TRM’s reach to underrepresented communities and build diverse pools.
Create positive candidate experiences throughout every touchpoint.
Conduct research to understand TRM’s competitive landscape.
Continuously improve our recruiting processes and increase the efficiency of our hiring.

What we’re looking for:

4+ years of experience sourcing and building high quality candidate pipelines of software engineers and/or data scientists, preferably in a high-growth startup environment.
Impeccable eye for talent. You know the difference between a good engineer and a great engineer.
Grit. You have the tenacity, resilience, and persistence to achieve both short-term and long-term goals for yourself and the team.
Independent ownership. You own what you work on. You move fast and get things done.
Knowledge and strong intuition around recruiting/sourcing best practices for startups.
Adaptability and creativity. Goals can change fast. You anticipate and react quickly.
Excellent communication. You will need to communicate complex ideas effectively.
Interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain-related applications.

While there's no strict clocking in or out, we expect team members to be available for meetings during standard working hours in their country, balancing personal schedules and team needs.

We move “surprisingly fast” while maintaining a high bar in service of our customers and mission. This can feel both intense and rewarding.
