The social media titan is planning to change the world using decentralization
Facebook is evidently looking to expand its decentralization efforts! This social media giant is currently recruiting experts in blockchain and data science.
According to Facebook’s careers page, Facebook wants to supplement its blockchain team with a data scientist, a data engineer, and two software engineers. They commented about these positions and their blockchain team:
“The blockchain team is a startup within Facebook, with a vision to make blockchain technology work at Facebook scale… It’s a small, fast-growing, but talented group of people who are passionate about changing the world. “
Moreover, Facebook is also searching for a product marketing lead who will manage the project. “Our blockchain team is fundamental to that mission and we are seeking an experienced leader to build and manage a new product marketing team focused in exploring the opportunity the blockchain will bring,” it was said in the job description.
The interest of Facebook in decentralized frameworks has become obvious after Mark Zuckerberg – CEO of the company – stated at the beginning of 2018 that he believes cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies have the potential to “take power from centralized systems and put it back into people’s hands.” At the moment, Facebook’s team reportedly has a dozen specialists working on crypto and blockchain technologies since May, 2018. It remains a secret how Facebook will apply these technologies.
