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.


Working at Spring Labs is about being part of a collaborative team, comprised of some of the most talented people in the industry. You would be welcomed into a fun, inclusive environment where we care as much about our employees as we do about our product.

This is an excellent opportunity for a top analyst/associate at a top tier investment bank or consulting firm, who wants to apply their experiences to a new space, gain exposure and valuable connections with industry leaders, and have the opportunity to lead and manage quickly in their career.

An Insider's view of Spring Labs

What does your typical day look like?

The first thing I do is say "Hi" to my best friend in the world, Savannah. We gab about our previous evening, then head to the kitchen for some coffee! Then it's off to check emails! What a thrill. During lunch, we play our favorite game in the world "Categories!" Then we play ping pong. That's it. Or is it? It is. Or is it? It's not.

How does the company support your career growth?

The company encourages me to pursue interests related to the work I’m doing on my team. They’re also never shy to lend a hand or start a pair programming session to help me understand a complex concept. I love how I’m supported to pursue interests that don’t directly relate to my job description.

The best organizations are able to run autonomously, which is why we facilitate an environment that encourages proactivity and accountability.

What makes someone successful on your team?

Compliance is successful when we use our influence to become a trusted business partner, essentially earning the respect of other team members in the organization. To gain that respect, the Compliance team must leave ego at the door and roll up our sleeves to accomplish the greater good for the company.
