MicroStrategy ser ud til at ansætte Bitcoin-ingeniør til at bygge Lightning-platformen

• MicroStrategy is looking to hire a Bitcoin software engineer.
• The new hire will be tasked with building an enterprise-grade ecommerce and cybersecurity SaaS platform based on Bitcoin and the Lightning Network.
• The job posting shows preference for Bitcoin and Lightning developers, but also considers some DeFi experience.

Software analytics firm MicroStrategy, the largest corporate holder of BTC, is hiring a Bitcoin software engineer to build a new Lightning-based enterprise platform.

Software-as-a-service (SaaS)-produktet vil give institutioner "innovative løsninger på cybersikkerhedsudfordringer og [aktivere] nye e-handelsbrugssager," ifølge virksomhedens jobopslag.

MicroStrategy has risen to become not only one of the largest holders of bitcoin in the world with over 130,000 BTC on its balance sheet, but also for trying to expand the ecosystem in creative ways.

Da Michael Saylor trådte tilbage from his position of CEO to become executive chairman, he announced that the decision was made so he could focus on Bitcoin initiatives and acquiring more BTC.

MicroStrategy’s continued foray into the ecosystem builds on Saylor’s previous intentions to focus purely on expanding the network. In fact, in accordance with his often-discussed Bitcoin maximalist ideology, the job posting lists a few things that should be the “focus” of anyone looking to apply to the engineer position. The company wants applicants to have contributions to Bitcoin Core and experience with SaaS solutions leveraging Bitcoin’s blockchain or the Lightning Network.

I sidste august blev Saylor og MicroStrategy også målet for DC Attorney General, som annoncerede hans hensigt om at sagsøge begge parter for påstået skattesvig.
