The financial world knows that Blockchain has been picking up steam for a while now and there’s no clearer indication of this than the job postings that several major companies are putting up. Joining the growing list of entities invested in Blockchain, firms like Microsoft and VISA are looking for programmers that can help bolster their expertise when it comes to cryptocurrencies and digitally distributed ledgers.
The job postings made their rounds over at Reddit, where users are currently discussing how companies like IBM and USAA are currently racing to add experienced programmers on their roster, preferably ones with expertise in Blockchain. IBM is apparently looking for “Consultant Developers” while Microsoft is in the market for a “Principal Program Manager.”
USAA is a little more straightforward, posting that it needs a “Lead Blockchain Developer” while VISA is on the lookout for “a strong developer experienced with Ethereum and blockchain architecture.” At this point, Blockchain has pretty much risen to the same level of inevitability as automated cars taking over the roads and artificial intelligence ruling over mankind.
IBM and Microsoft both are investing heavily on Blockchain, with both showing signs of integrating the platform into their own business models, Futurism reports. The tech industry is well aware of how Windows has now become a service rather than a product, with Microsoft putting some huge investments in Azure and cloud computing, in general.
It would seem that IBM is more interested in Blockchain identity management, which apparently has something to do with improving the security and privacy of users while using the platform. Anyone who applies for the job posting that the company has put up will likely find themselves working on that particular aspect of Blockchain.
Whatever the case may be, it’s likely that the programmers and engineers who are accepted for the roles will play a huge part in shaping how Blockchain is going to be in the future. In a sense, they’ll be pioneers.
