Mastercard has their hiring eye on blockchain specialists. The massive corporation seeks to further incorporate the technology into their company and needs skilled help to do it.
Long gone are the days when “blockchain” was a term synonymous only with cryptocurrencies. Yes, it is the supporting technology for digital currencies. However, its benefits have far-reaching implications, and not just in the financial industry.
Sectors like healthcare and supply chain management can capitalize on this type of technology. Of course, its efficiency, security, and immutability do have a strong allure for the economic sector. According to Irish Tech News, Mastercard hopes to further incorporate these benefits into its corporation.
MASTERCARD NEEDS BLOCKCHAIN SPECIALISTS
Ireland is the home of the company’s Mastercard Lab, a section aimed at developing revolutionary payment solutions. The corporation will be hiring 175 more staff members for their Dublin office to develop the best in payment innovations. They’ll be filling roles such as software engineers and information security specialists. Most notably, they will also be hiring blockchain experts.
The team is currently investigating how blockchain technology can be integrated into the company’s vision for the future. This future is not just focused on payments though. Mastercard also hopes to create solar power solutions for the millions of people who do not have access to electricity.
