About The Position

TRM Labs is seeking an experienced Senior Frontend Platform Engineer to join their growing Frontend Engineering team. This role focuses on building the visualization and rendering systems for TRM’s investigative platform, which surfaces complex blockchain activity through interactive graph exploration, entity networks, and data-dense investigative interfaces. The engineer will contribute to the core frontend platform and visualization infrastructure, enabling analysts to explore large relational datasets and uncover illicit activity. Key responsibilities include designing and building the visualization platform, developing high-performance rendering systems using technologies like Canvas, WebGL, and GPU-accelerated rendering, and creating reusable visualization libraries, SDKs, and platform primitives. The role also involves participating in technical design discussions, code reviews, and gaining a deep understanding of crypto and blockchain investigation workflows to shape future data exploration tools.

Requirements

Strong JavaScript and TypeScript fundamentals with experience building large-scale frontend systems.
Experience building data-dense web applications, such as analytics platforms, visualization tools, or mapping systems.
Hands-on experience with Canvas, WebGL, or GPU-accelerated rendering.
Experience working with data visualization libraries such as D3, PixiJS, Three.js, or similar tools.
Experience building or working with graph / network visualization systems, using tools like D3-force, Cytoscape.js, vis.js, Sigma.js, or similar.
Familiarity with graph layouts such as force-directed, hierarchical, or radial layouts.
Experience optimizing performance in complex UIs using techniques such as: virtualization, viewport culling Web Workers, and large-dataset rendering optimization
Experience designing reusable frontend systems, SDKs, component libraries, or developer platforms.
Strong computer science fundamentals including data structures and algorithmic thinking.
Experience with React and modern frontend frameworks.

Responsibilities

Design and build the visualization platform that powers TRM’s investigative interfaces, including graph exploration and large-scale data visualization.
