Facebook Continues Its Rendezvous With Cryptocurrencies, Starts Hiring For Blockchain Positions

Facebook has been blowing hot and cold when it comes to blockchain and cryptocurrencies. On one hand, the social media tech giant follows a stringent advertising policy against cryptocurrencies and ICO’s. On the other hand, while keeping it a tightly guarded secret, the platform seems to be developing some kind of blockchain and cryptocurrency project

A recent post about job openings put up on Facebook Careers website, announces that the platform had opened five blockchain positions. Interestingly the platform has been extremely tight-lipped about the project they are working on, the tit-bits we have are from such job posts. A similar kind of posts in September informed us that Facebook’ s blockchain team was looking for a Head Of Business Development.

The job description for the profile states that:

 “we are seeking an experienced leader to build and manage a new product marketing team focused on exploring the opportunity the blockchain will bring.”
