Google and Apple Hire for Crypto-Related Positions
Both Google and Apple have posted new job listings that emphasize experience in the cryptocurrency industry, signaling growing interest from major tech firms in digital assets. While neither company explicitly states they are launching crypto products, their hiring criteria suggest a strategic push into Web3 technologies and decentralized systems. Google Cloud is seeking an Industry Principal Architect for its Web3 initiatives in Hong Kong with extensive blockchain expertise, including Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible networks like Solana or Cosmos. Apple is looking to hire someone familiar with peer-to-peer payments, stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and blockchain technology as part of the Apple Pay Financial Product Strategy Lead role. These developments reflect a broader trend in tech firms exploring decentralized finance applications and institutional adoption of digital assets.
