[블록체인 뉴스] 페이스북 블록체인 공공정책 매니저 채용

글로벌 SNS 기업 페이스북에서 블록체인 공공정책 매니저를 채용합니다. 지난 5월 페이스북에서 블록체인 기술 전담팀을 출범하고, 최근 블록체인 담당 기술 이사와 부사장 자리를 새로만든 것에 이은 채용입니다. 

현재 페이스북 블록체인 전담팀에는 전 페이팔 사장이자, 페이스북 메신저를 맡아온 데이비드 매커스 부사장이 리더로 팀을 이끌고 있습니다. 데이비드 매커스는 미국 최대 가상화폐 거래소인 코인베이스의 이사로도 선임되어, 페이스북과 코인베이스가 긴말하게 업무 진행할 가능성이 높아지고 있습니다. 그 외에도 엔지니러링 수석으로 에반 청(Evan Cheng)이 임명되는 등 10명 안팎의 팀원들이 속속 팀에 합류하고 있습니다. 

최근 금지되었던 ICO 광고도 금지 해제 되면서 성장의 한계에 부딪힌 페이스북이 블록체인으로 새로운 기류를 만들어 보려는 것이라는 추측이 대두되고 있는 가운데 정책담당자 영입을 통해 본격적으로 블록체인 기술을 바탕으로 한 새로운 서비스를 발표할 것으로 보입니다. 소극적으로는 블록체인 기술을 바탕으로 한 페이스북 기술 향상, 적극적으로는 블록체인 기술을 바탕으로 한 신규 서비스 나아가 암호화폐 발행까지 가능할 것으로 보여 페이스북이 글로벌 리버스 ICO 여부가 주목됩니다.
