About Spring Labs:
Spring Labs is redefining how data is exchanged for the new age of data sharing, security, and consumer privacy through decentralization. Our Spring Protocol Tech Stack, which includes the use of Blockchain and Cryptography, allows institutions to share information among themselves to verify identities and reduce fraud - all while protecting consumer data.
There are a few things we look for at Spring Labs in all qualified candidates, regardless of role or team. First, we look for signals that a candidate will thrive in a culture like ours, where we act like owners, empower and trust others, place ideas over hierarchy, and expect a high level of collaboration and performance. Second, we expect all employees to commit to our mission and become culture carriers. Finally, we look for humble people with the desire and capacity to build and share their expertise.
We’re currently seeking a Product Manager, with experience in the Ethereum/DeFi ecosystem.
