Alpen Labs is a technology company specializing in cryptographic systems and blockchain infrastructure, with a focus on building secure, scalable solutions for the digital asset ecosystem. The company is known for its research-driven approach, leveraging zero-knowledge proofs and other advanced cryptographical techniques to enable trustless and privacy-preserving applications. Alpen Labs operates in the crypto and fintech verticals, serving a community of developers and enterprises that are building on its platform.

Alpen Labs has an established Spain presence in the city of Barcelona, where it houses a growing engineering team. The culture emphasizes high-quality engineering, remote-friendly work, and collaboration across distributed teams. For international professionals, Alpen Labs offers a dynamic environment with exposure to cutting-edge blockchain technology, and it embraces the global nature of the crypto industry, which makes relocation to Spain for roles like Engineering Team Lead and SDET particularly attractive for those looking to combine a tech career with the Spanish lifestyle.

Company History

Founded in 2022, Alpen Labs emerged from a team of researchers and engineers with roots in the cryptocurrency and academic spheres. The company has quickly gained visibility for its contributions to layer-2 scaling solutions and scientific research in cryptography, positioning itself as a builder in the blockchain space. Rather than a direct founding in Spain, its growth has since established a Barcelona-based center for development.

For International Professionals

  • The company's Barcelona office is located in the city's tech hub, which offers a vibrant expat and startup community.
  • English is the primary working language for the technical roles listed on the careers page, easing the transition for international hires.
  • Alpen Labs is remote-friendly, with hybrid opportunities that may allow for flexible (even fully remote) work from Spain or abroad initially during the culture-location.
  • As a well funded seed-stage despite strong backing from recogned crypto funds, the company offers added stability for a pre-Series A company and mentorship with renowned cryptography heads.
  • Sponsorship for work permits/visas is likely but not confirmed; the company's open JD provides clarity on requirements, making it key to job posting details.
