Senior Data Scientist, Attribution

As a Senior Data Scientist, Attribution you will be embedded within a specific risk category (e. g., Sanctions, Cybercrime, Counter Terrorism) and own the attribution algorithms that drive direct customer outcomes — from seizing illicit funds to disrupting crypto‑enabled crime networks.

You’ll operate as equal parts Subject Matter Expert and Data Scientist, translating deep domain knowledge into production‑grade intelligence.

• The impact you’ll have here
• Own end‑to‑end attribution for a risk category: identify high‑impact targets, build algorithms (heuristics, ML models, AI agents), and ship to production.
• Collaborate tightly with and become a Subject Matter Expert for your category, translating customer and GTM needs into actionable intelligence.
• Navigate all intelligence layers (Network / On‑chain / Protocol) to uncover patterns competitors can’t replicate.
• Ship production‑quality code – heuristics, ML models, and data pipelines – with rigorous evaluation and scalable architecture.
• Drive measurable outcomes: billions in illicit funds traced, seized, or prevented.
• What we’re looking for
• Quantitative background (Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering, Economics, Physics).
• Strong problem‑solving mindset: gets to the root cause, leverages creativity, and thrives in ambiguity with a hypothesis‑driven, iterative approach.
• Demonstrated domain curiosity – ability to absorb and apply expertise in blockchain, fraud, money laundering, or cybercrime.
• 6+ years in an analytical role with strong SQL, Python, and AI‑assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code).
• Experience with distributed data systems (Spark, Big Query, Airflow) and shipping production code.
• Strong async communication (Loom, Slack, Notion) and ability to own work independently in a remote environment.
• Bonus: Deep ML experience, prior work in crypto, financial crime, or financial institutions.
• About the Team
• Data Scientists are embedded within risk categories teams (Sanctions, Cybercrime, Nation States, etc.), working closely with SMEs, engineers, and cross‑functional partners.
• Fully remote and globally distributed. Most overlap occurs 7am–12pm PST for meetings and collaboration.
• All team members must have at least 4‑hour overlap with PST business hours.
• On‑call responsibilities: Analytics on‑call ( Learn about TRM Speed in this position
• Rapid Customer Impact: Deliver last‑minute, high‑stakes projects for key customers — turning around attribution insights in days, not weeks.
• MVP to Production: Build complex algorithms with tight timeframes (1–2 sprints for MVP) and iterate based on real customer feedback.
• Parallel Execution: Juggle multiple priorities across categories and stakeholders while maintaining quality and speed.
