Cryptocurrency Job With Fidelity
Blockchain
The last several months have been extremely volatile in the cryptocurrency market. There’s been rumors of exchanges being hacked, government shutdowns, and governments pouring millions of dollars into the crypto world. The world is a dynamic conundrum of deception and reality. On a recent trip to Austin, Texas, I couldn’t help but notice one of the airport welcoming signs when exiting the plane. The sign showed several companies and technologies that they were working on. Blockchain made the list, as you would expect. Maybe that’s why the airport is adding 9 terminals?

Fidelity
Fidelity, a behemoth in the financial services sector, implicitly announced they were entering cryptocurrency in a big way. Fidelity manages $7.2 trillion, with money allocated into funds ranging from bonds to crypto. They posted a position on the internal job board seeking a development operations engineer to create a digital asset exchange. A development operations engineer is an IT professional who would work with software developers, system operators, and other production IT staff to create this digital exchange to trade cryptocurrencies.
The main objective would be to create the exchange and deploy it to the public and private cloud. Last year, CEO Abigail Johnson expressed her interest in cryptocurrencies and stated that they set up a small Bitcoin mining operation that now makes lots of money. Back in 2017, Fidelity allowed its charity division to accept donations in Bitcoin, and even collected $22 million in crypto donations. Other positions on the job board were workers to develop custodian services for Bitcoin and digital currencies. Indeed anyone?
