This role will be responsible for the design and specification of next-generation systems leveraging partial, somewhat, and fully homomorphic encryption. You will interact closely with the Software Engineering and Product teams to ensure our newest products are effective, usable, performant, and scalable.

Spring Labs is an in-office culture (partial remote work during Covid-19) that fosters a highly creative and collaborative work environment, however, full-remote is acceptable for this role for the right candidate.

If you are motivated by solving real-world problems with an extremely talented, accomplished team and want to work alongside veteran cryptographers and world-class engineers, we want to hear from you.


What you'll do

  • Design secure, novel, performant systems using cutting edge cryptography.
  • Author specifications, patents, and papers detailing the systems and techniques that will underpin our next generation of products.
  • Communicate complex designs to engineers and support them in the implementation.
  • Educate technical and non-technical stakeholders on our tools and technologies.
    • About you
  • Ph.D. – Cryptography, Math, Computer Science, Engineering, or related disciplines.
  • Strong background in the design and evaluation of cryptographic primitives and protocols.
  • Preferably-extensive experience in (partial, somewhat, leveled, fully) homomorphic encryption schemes and underlying structures such as lattices, and their optimizations.
  • Robust interest in pursuing research in and architecture of systems-level applications of cryptography, such as pertaining to practical utilization of homomorphic encryption (including threshold and multi-key variants), oblivious transfer, secure multiparty computation, proxy re-encryption, privacy-preserving entity resolution, private information retrieval, and functional encryption -- as well as the relevant interrelationships among these methods.
  • Genuine desire to maximize team output, such as to exercise an established capability to (independently and effectively) cryptanalyze the contributions of others.
  • Ability to implement prototypes and working knowledge of cryptographic libraries a plusMotivated by a fast-paced, proactive team environment.
  • Strong creative problem-solving skills.
  • Thrives in a highly collaborative environment.
  • Values and produces high-quality documentation.
  • Enjoys learning and teaching others.

    • Equal Opportunity Statement:
    We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

    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.

    At Spring Labs, we build cutting-edge privacy tech for enterprise data exchange and analysis with a strong focus on commercial viability. We are hiring an experienced cryptographer to join our Research team to design the next evolution of these systems.
