Forward Deployed Software Engineer (TS/SCI)
TRM Labs, Washington, District of Columbia, us, 20022
Forward Deployed Software Engineer (TS/SCI)
Join TRM Labs to operate at the intersection of technology and government customers’ most critical missions. Build, deploy, and iterate on systems in real operational environments, often with incomplete information and evolving requirements. Responsibilities
Deliver mission outcomes by developing and deploying greenfield technical solutions—from prototypes to production systems—across diverse technology stacks. Learn and apply new skills rapidly, whether building AI‑powered applications, designing data pipelines, extending full‑stack systems, or integrating with secure government environments. Serve as a technical partner to mission stakeholders, translating ambiguous needs into actionable engineering work and working backward from mission impact. Own end‑to‑end delivery: requirements gathering, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing support in production environments. Create clarity and momentum in high‑stakes settings, removing blockers, simplifying complexity, and driving solutions forward with urgency. Qualifications
Background in full‑stack or backend engineering using technologies such as Node.js, Python, Postgres/SQL, and React. Strong fundamentals in software engineering, with proficiency in at least one programming language and the ability to pick up others quickly. Demonstrated ability to learn new technologies rapidly (e.g., cloud platforms, AI/ML tools, distributed systems, data processing frameworks, or full‑stack frameworks). Evidence of high ownership: set goals, execute with urgency, and reliably deliver outcomes even in ambiguous or constrained environments. Ability to work directly with technical and non‑technical stakeholders, communicate clearly, and build trust in mission‑critical settings. Comfort working across the stack—whether writing backend code, tuning an ML model, configuring cloud infrastructure, or debugging a data pipeline. Desire to work on hard problems with real consequences for national security and global financial integrity. Candidate must have an active TS/SCI clearance. Compensation
Estimated base salary range: $200,000 – $265,000. Eligible to participate in TRM equity plan. TRM Labs is committed to equal opportunity employment. We encourage applications from all qualified individuals.
