65 salaries · our own dataMost 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 the 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 closes.
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 EMEA-hours coverage that keeps the queue moving while colleagues in other regions are offline
- React quickly to incoming complaint surges and live takedown events
- Continuously learn new patterns in crypto-enabled crime
- Participate in 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 as needed
What you bring
- Investigative or analytical experience in the private or public sector (one to three years is fine)
- 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 standard business hours within your local time zone
- Opportunity to sit alongside experienced crypto tracers and intelligence-trained individual contributors designed to accelerate your development
- Global coordination with teammates on follow-the-sun coverage for time-sensitive handoffs
