The new job postings seek blockchain talent across several of JPMorgan’s branches worldwide, including the United States, Singapore, India, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and other countries. The company posted more than 30 such openings over the past seven days in the U.S. alone.
A number of applications specifically target talent for JPMorgan’s digital currency-focused Onyx division as well as Liink, the company’s proprietary blockchain-based interbank data network. Launched last October, Onyx is focused on JPMorgan Chase’s in-house stablecoin known as JPM Coin.
One of the newly opened positions, a blockchain platform software engineer in Jersey City, New Jersey seeks experts specializing in blockchain security technologies, proof-of-stake algorithms, as well as experience with major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH).
