AI Agent Engineer - Remote Position at TRM Labs

About the Role

We are seeking an AI Agent Engineer to join our team at TRM Labs. This remote position offers the opportunity to work with a high-impact team dedicated to building a safer world through blockchain intelligence. As an AI Agent Engineer, you will play a crucial role in architecting and implementing robust AI applications, particularly focusing on Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic systems.

What You'll Do

• Architect and implement a robust agentic framework that supports tool use, context retrieval, memory, and planning.
• Build intelligent, modular agents that automate investigative tasks and augment analyst decision-making.
• Extend and scale our LLM infrastructure, including prompt engineering and evaluation loops.
• Design safe, observable, and auditable agent behaviors to ensure reliability in high-sensitivity environments.
• Evaluate performance across metrics like reasoning, latency, and success rate, iterating based on user feedback and system telemetry.
• Contribute to a culture of high ownership, rapid experimentation, and ethical AI deployment.

Requirements

• Strong engineering background with deep experience in backend or systems work (Python preferred).
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs, agents, and tooling frameworks.
• Comfort working with agentic pipelines and optimizing information flow into AI systems.
• Thoughtful approach to system design, with an eye for safety, scalability, and explainability.
• High product empathy - you care about how agents impact real users and optimize accordingly.
• Bias toward experimentation and iteration.

Nice to Have

• Previous experience with knowledge graphs, task orchestration, or AI safety.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary range of $215,000 - $230,000 per year.
• Eligibility to participate in TRM’s equity plan.
• A fast-paced, high-velocity work environment focused on ownership and clarity.
• Opportunities for rapid issue resolution and efficient knowledge transfer.
• A collaborative and inclusive team culture that values diverse personalities.
• Flexible working hours with a requirement for at least 4 hours overlap with PST business hours.
