The list of qualifications seems to have a consistent bias towards skills that lend themselves to blockchain application development as well. Whether they plan on an internal infrastructure update or rolling out a retail product based on blockchain technology is up in the air, but the posting displays a novel seriousness on Visa’s part about the potential of enterprise blockchain development.
VisaBitcoin adoption has been enjoying explosive growth in places where the value of local currency is dropping, and crypto-based payment applications have become increasingly viable as efficient alternatives to services like Apple Pay and Visa Checkout. With the recent release of IBM’s OpenBlockchain and government and banks looking extensively into blockchain development, it comes as no surprise that Visa shares a belief in the blockchain’s place in modern finance. With Apple Pay adoption stagnating and a lack of a universal solution for convenient payment, Cryptocurrency becomes an attractive option, hence recently increased adoption. Visa and other companies may well need to take this route to remain viable in the current Fintech ecosystem.
