Senior AI Engineer (AI Automation)

As a Senior AI Engineer at TRM Labs, you will be the embedded AI automation engineer for the Product team, building the agents, automations, and apps that help product managers, product marketers, and designers move faster. You work directly with them and with engineering across the product lifecycle from early discovery through launch and adoption, sitting inside the teams rather than behind a ticket queue.

What you'll do

• Move repetitive, manual work into agents and automations so Product, Product Marketing, and Design spend their time on judgment and customer work, not busywork.
• Give teams direct access to customer insight and the data behind it through the tools you build, so they make better-informed decisions.
• Ship agentic solutions teams actually adopt, so the same headcount operates at a scale it otherwise could not.
• Build reusable, maintained components so each new build is faster than the last and no one rebuilds what already exists.
• Turn a rough idea into a working prototype in hours and ship same-day production fixes to shared agents, driving faster speed to market across Product and Marketing.

What you bring

• Strong software engineering in Python or TypeScript, shipping production code rather than just workflows wired together.
• Very high AI fluency, building agentic solutions on current frontier models daily, including MCP, retrieval, evals, and observability. Be ready to show us something you built.
• Experience taking requirements from non-engineers and finding the need behind the ask.
• Judgment about where AI adds value and where it does not.
• Experience building solutions that non-technical teams adopted and kept using.
• Daily use of AI-assisted coding tools such as Claude Code or Cursor.
• Senior-level scope: you own problems end to end, need little direction, and are comfortable with ambiguity.

What we offer

• Globally distributed, fully remote, and async-first work with roughly a 6 hour overlap with 8:00am to 5:00pm PST.
• Embedded collaboration with Product, Product Marketing, and Design teams, with a connection back to engineering for standards, code review, and shared infrastructure.
• Async-first communication through Slack and written documentation.
• No travel, no onsite, and no on-call.
