We believe that a blockchain-based global economy can improve the lives of billions of people. But the same properties that make cryptocurrencies a force for good — permissionless, programmable, and instantaneous — can also make them susceptible to criminal and fraudulent activity, which causes harm to our financial system at unprecedented speed and scale.

At TRM, we're on a mission to build trust in digital assets, because the promise of crypto is too valuable to be impeded by bad actors. We provide a blockchain intelligence platform to law enforcement, financial institutions, and crypto firms to assist in the detection and prevention of cryptocurrency fraud and financial crime. Our vision is to build a company that can sustainably deliver on our mission for decades to come, enabling consumers to transact safely and securely on the blockchain.

The Security team is responsible for and committed to securing all things at TRM. From our customers to our code, and everything in between, the security team is involved in all aspects of the business.
We are looking for a Security Systems Administrator to join our growing team, enhancing the daily operations of TRM’s IT infrastructure and services. You’ll work on securing our corporate software, services, tooling, and infrastructure, having a critical part in our security posture at TRM.

  • Resolve security incidents to support availability requirements.
  • Develop and maintain installation, operations, and configuration procedures.
  • Assist with the secure integration of cloud applications and infrastructure.
  • Assist with implementing highly-available hardware and software systems across multiple operating systems.

What we're looking for:

  • Experience supporting applications, desktop and mobile devices, and related IT infrastructure solutions in a cloud-only organization
  • A long history of providing excellent customer service
  • Experience applying a risk-based approach to decision making
