Amazon is looking for developers for a digital currency project

Amazon is looking for engineers and software developers to project digital and evolving payments. A vacancy at a Mexico branch mentions digital currency development.

According to the vacancies published by Amazon, the company plans to develop projects related to digital and evolving payments. One of Amazon’s job descriptions says:

“This product will allow customers to convert their cash into digital currency, with which they can use online services, including purchases of goods and / or services such as Prime Video.”

Amazon Digital and Emerging Payments intends to first deploy the product in Mexico. Based on the description of the second vacancy, the digital currency development project is focused on emerging markets. Amazon employs software engineers “at all levels”.

As a reminder, in 2013, Amazon already issued the Amazon Coin, which was used to purchase gaming applications and digital content on Android smartphones and Blackberry devices. However, it was not a cryptocurrency, as it was not based on the blockchain.

Last year, Binance CEO Chanpeng Zhao expressed confidence that Amazon will sooner or later release its own cryptocurrency that will be used to buy and sell goods.
