The vacancy section of the social network Facebook now has 20 open positions for specialists, one way or another connected with the blockchain technology, CoinDesk reports.
In particular, offers are vacancies of a technology communications director, a threat researcher, a data processing and analysis specialist, two product managers and a product designer, brand strategy and marketing managers, a community manager, a media relations specialist, as well as some other positions .
As the newspaper notes, the most unusual role can be considered a vacancy of a strategic partner for global security, which “will serve as a connecting and intellectual partner between the global security department and selected key business partners, in this case the Facebook blockchain division.”
Job descriptions do not disclose details about the future product, but they hint at quite ambitious goals:
“Our ultimate goal is to help billions of people get access to what they don’t have now — healthcare, fair financial services, or new ways of storing and disseminating information.”
Facebook and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, have long been interested in blockchain technology and solutions based on it. So, in late February, it was reported that the social network held talks with various cryptocurrency exchanges regarding the placement of its own stablecock. About 50 engineers are already working on the token, which will be tied to a basket of several fiat currencies, and its launch is expected later this year. It is assumed that it will be used within both the social network itself and in other products of the company, including WhatsApp and Instagram.
Earlier, Mark Zuckerberg said that the technology of the distributed registry can allow Internet users to access various services using a single account. According to him, the blockchain-based solution can become a competitor of the single sign-on (SSO) technology from Facebook.
