Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey took to the social media platform to advertise Bitcoin job openings for a crypto initiative by Square.

Most people dread waking up in the morning and heading off to work. While commencement speakers tell graduates to follow their dreams, the reality is that most people take a job they don’t care for in order to pay the bills. (Hate to break it to you, starry-eyed dreamers, but that’s the real world.) However, crypto enthusiasts looking for a Bitcoin job may be in luck. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey recently advertised several cryptocurrency job openings he’s hiring for.

Jack Dorsey Looking for Crypto Workers

If you have the chops, Jack Dorsey is hiring. He sent out a call to the cryptocurrency community on Twitter using the #BitcoinTwitter and #CryptoTwitter hashtags. In his tweet, he said:

Square is hiring 3-4 crypto engineers and 1 designer to work full-time on open source contributions to the bitcoin/crypto ecosystem. Work from anywhere, report directly to me, and we can even pay you in bitcoin! Introducing @SqCrypto. Why?

#BitcoinTwitter and #CryptoTwitter! Square is hiring 3-4 crypto engineers and 1 designer to work full-time on open source contributions to the bitcoin/crypto ecosystem.

However, the jobs he’s looking to fill are with Square, not Twitter. He is starting an open source initiative at Square designed to make the cryptocurrency ecosystem better. This project will actually be independent of Square’s business objectives as it focuses on individual economic empowerment and what’s best for the cryptocurrency community. Lofty goals that are well worth pursuing.

Elaborating on the initiative, Dorsey said:

Square has taken a lot from the open source community to get us here. We haven’t given enough back. This is a small way to give back, and one that’s aligned with our broader interests: a more accessible global financial system for the internet.

He added:

I love this technology and community. I’ve found it to be deeply principled, purpose-driven, edgy, and…really weird. Just like the early internet! I’m excited to get to learn more directly.

Big Fan of Bitcoin

Jack Dorsey has long been a fan of Bitcoin and other virtual currencies. Back at Consensus 2018, he expressed his admiration for the world’s foremost cryptocurrency, saying:

The internet deserves a native currency; it will have a native currency. I don’t know if it will be Bitcoin or not. I hope it will be. I am a huge fan.

The Cash App designed by Square has been a huge hit. Since the introduction last year of allowing people to buy and sell Bitcoin, the number of users for the app doubled from 2017.

It might be time to polish up those resumes and fire them off at Jack Dorsey to snag a coveted spot on Square’s new cryptocurrency initiative.
