Visa Hiring More Developers to Take Crypto Mainstream
Visa, the global payment giant, is expanding its crypto division with new software engineer hires. The company has posted several job openings for senior software engineers who can help it develop and launch new products based on public blockchain networks and stablecoin payments. According to Cuy Sheffield, the head of crypto at Visa, the company has an "ambitious crypto product roadmap" that aims to drive mainstream adoption of crypto technology.
The job positions are based in London and require proficiency in programming, building scalable backend systems, and working with web3 technologies. Visa is also looking for candidates who have experience with Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions, Solidity smart contracts, and AI-assisted engineering tools such as Github Copilot. The positions are hybrid, meaning that employees will have to work in the office for two or three days a week.
Visa has been actively involved in the crypto space, partnering with various platforms and providers to enable crypto payments and services. The company has also expressed interest in StarkNet, a layer 2 blockchain built on Ethereum, which could facilitate easier bill payments for self-custodial wallet users. Visa's crypto hiring spree shows its commitment to its crypto strategy and its vision for the future of payments.
