63 salaries · our own dataMost security roles in crypto pay between $136k and $275k, with a median of $209k.
As a Global Investigator on the Triage team at TRM Labs, you will be the first line of operational defence in a fast-moving crypto disruption pipeline. You will process inbound complaint data, validate outputs from TRM's AI investigation platform, and route cases into investigative pipelines that result in frozen scam proceeds and seized assets. Your disposition decisions turn complaints into freezes, takedowns, recovery handoffs, legal-process drafts, victim notifications, or case closures.
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
- 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, law-enforcement support, and other time-sensitive matters, with weekly rotation and occasional weekend coverage
What you bring
- Investigative or analytical experience in the private or public sector; one to three years is acceptable for someone eager to grow into deep crypto expertise
- Strong AI fluency, meaning comfort using AI tools as a daily co-pilot, plus the judgment to know when they are wrong
- Excitement to deepen blockchain analysis skills
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced, fluid environment where the project's scope and emphasis may shift quarter to quarter
- Strong written and verbal communication
What we offer
- Daily schedule in your local time zone with collaboration on time-sensitive handoffs providing near follow-the-sun coverage
- A seat on a team built around seasoned investigators and rising talent, designed to accelerate your development alongside experienced crypto tracers and intelligence-trained contributors
