Job Description

The AI & Automation team at TRM is responsible for designing and building AI-powered applications and agentic solutions that help our internal teams operate at scale. We partner directly with business leaders across the company to identify high-impact opportunities, then design, build, and own end-to-end solutions that meaningfully move key business metrics.

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer (AI Automation) who is excited to work hands-on with modern AI technologies, build custom internal tools, and operate with a high degree of ownership. This role is ideal for engineers who want to stay deeply technical while also shaping what gets built, not just how it’s built.

As a member of the AI & Automation team, you will embed closely with business teams (e.g., Intelligence, R&D, Operations, Talent, Finance, Legal, R&D), identify their most critical challenges, and design AI-enabled solutions that drive measurable outcomes. You’ll own these systems end-to-end—from ideation and architecture through delivery, iteration, and long-term maintenance.

The impact you’ll have here:

  • Design, build, and own full-stack, AI-powered internal applications, including backend services, APIs, data storage, and user-facing interfaces.

  • Develop custom agentic solutions that leverage state-of-the-art AI models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) to automate workflows, augment decision-making, and scale business processes.

  • Embed within internal teams to deeply understand their goals, constraints, and key metrics, then translate those needs into technical solutions with clear success criteria.

  • Own projects end-to-end, including technical design, architecture decisions, scoping, delivery, iteration, and ongoing support.

  • Collaborate with non-technical stakeholders to expand their understanding of what’s possible with AI and help shape more ambitious solutions.

  • Build reliable, scalable systems that are used across the organization and touch critical parts of TRM’s operations.

  • Continuously evaluate impact, iterating on solutions quarter-over-quarter based on measurable business outcomes.

  • Contribute to a fast-moving, high-ownership engineering culture that values quality, velocity, and real-world impact.

What we’re looking for:

  • 6+ years full-stack software engineering experience building scalable web applications, services, and APIs

  • Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and/or Python, and comfort working across the stack including frontend development (React or similar frameworks)

  • Experience building backend systems, working with various datastores such as (Postgres/pgvector, Pinecone, Redis) and designing APIs.

  • Demonstrated curiosity and hands-on experience with AI tools and applications - using modern AI models, agentic IDEs, or building AI-enabled workflows or prototypes.

  • Experience building or experimenting with custom developed agentic systems, workflow orchestration tools (n8n), or Agentic browser automation

  • A high degree of ownership and initiative, with the ability to operate independently in ambiguous problem spaces

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences

  • Experience collaborating cross-functionally and building trust with stakeholders at all levels of the organization

Bonus:**

  • Direct experience integrating automated AI Evaluation/Testing/Observability suites to continuously test model effectiveness leveraging platforms such as DeepEval, Langfuse/LangSmith or similar

About the Team:

  • The team operates on a weekly sprint schedule. Individuals on the team are tasked to lead projects as technical anchors, and given a chance to grow and take ownership according to their level and goals. We work closely with our internal stakeholders to deliver impactful features to our internal customers and the company.

  • The team’s culture is built on psychological safety wherein team members build rapport and trust-based relationships with teammates, hold each other accountable and to a high bar, collaborate extensively, and have lots of fun along the way.

  • The team’s timezone is a mix of EST and PST with at least 6 hours of overlap with PST (8 am to 2 pm PST)

  • On-Call: We have an on-call rotation that is specific to internal tools. In this role, the internal tools engineer is responsible for triaging customer support requests from specific Slack channels pertaining to internal tools.
