Facebook has enlisted five new blockchain related jobs under its careers section. The positions include two software engineer roles, a data scientist and a data engineer.



The jobs have been listed as full time roles at the company’s headquarter in Menlo Park, California. The firm has described the job roles at Facebook Blockchain Data Engineering team to be technically and intellectually challenging.



As reported, Facebook is exploring the scopes of blockchain technology. The company’s ultimate goal is to give its users the access to things they currently don’t have. This may include equitable financial services, new ways to save, or innovative modes of sharing information.



The candidates having experience in distributed computing (Hive/Hadoop) will be given preference for the Blockchain Data Scientist role. And, for Blockchain Software Engineer, profiles having knowledge of C, C++, Java, C#, Perl, PHP, Hack and/or Python will be considered.
