Seattle. The company is currently looking for a senior software engineer. The new employee would join the "
Advertising FinTech team focused on a Blockchain ledger", as we can find out from the job offer issued by the company. The team, based in
Boulder, Colorado, will be responsible for the transparency of international financial data.
"This is an opportunity to define a technology architectural direction of a greenfield area for Amazon’s advertising business using Blockchain technology."
- informs the announcement.
Blockchain to simplify systems
The company joins many companies that are trying to use blockchain technology to simplify obscure data chains. As of today, it is not known what type of blockchain the company intends to use for advertising. This is not the first time that the company has used
blockchain technology. Earlier, the blockchain team at
Amazon Web Services (ASW) built a proprietary blockchain known as the
Quantum Ledgers Database (QLDB). It is known since June, that the company is trying to develop a
blockchain system that will manage pension funds.
