median $209k$137k$274k

Most security roles in crypto pay between $137k and $274k, with a median of $209k.

As a Global Investigator on the triage team at TRM Labs, you will be the first line of operational defense in a fast-moving crypto disruption pipeline. You will process inbound complaint data, validate outputs from our AI investigation platform, and route cases into investigative pipelines that result in frozen scam proceeds and seized assets. Your decision turns a complaint into a freeze, a takedown, a recovery handoff, a legal-process draft, a victim notification, or a close.

What you'll do

  • Validate and route hundreds of complaint dispositions per week, feeding a live asset-recovery pipeline.
  • Catch AI errors that matter, such as false positives, merged syndicates, and misclassified scam patterns, before they propagate downstream.
  • Enrich complaint selectors using a stack of more than forty commercial data-source integrations.
  • Take the highest-priority complaints beyond disposition: trace funds through consolidation wallets to regulated exchanges or other actionable endpoints.
  • Own clean shift handoffs so the around-the-clock operation never drops a lead, providing APAC-hours coverage that keeps the queue moving while colleagues in other regions are offline.
  • React quickly to incoming complaint surges and live takedown events.
  • Participate in a formal on-call rotation for high-priority events such as hacks and law-enforcement support, with weekly rotation and occasional weekend coverage as needed.

What you bring

  • 4 or more years of investigative or analytical experience in the public or private sector, including hands-on blockchain analysis.
  • Demonstrated experience tracing funds across chains and attributing addresses to real-world actors, with the judgment to distinguish an unattributed service from a privately controlled wallet.
  • Experience building or contributing to cases that led to a freeze, seizure, arrest, or takedown.
  • Strong AI fluency, meaning comfort using AI tools as a daily co-pilot, plus the judgment to know when they are wrong.
  • Strong written and verbal communication.
  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, fluid environment where the project's scope and emphasis may shift quarter to quarter.

What we offer

  • Daily schedule in your local time zone during standard business hours.
  • Collaboration with global teammates on time-sensitive handoffs.
