Microblogging site Twitter is looking to hire a senior product manager for crypto with a special focus on “creator monetization,” according to a job listing posted this week. The new hire will work alongside Tess Rinearson, who was recently hired to lead Twitter's crypto division.

According to a job listing <a href="https://careers.twitter.com/en/work-for-twitter/202201/c56e9e28-67ca-4b17-8e72-ace622594ecc/5a4e17e8-3661-49c1-97f1-b442c8ee2c3c.html/senior-product-manager-crypto.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">posted</a> on Twitter’s official page, the social media platform is looking to hire an additional leader for its cryptocurrency division to explore decentralized technologies including blockchains, cryptocurrencies, and web3.
<blockquote><em>“Our goal is to figure out what crypto means for Twitter, and what Twitter means for crypto We help teams across Twitter build features that are supercharged by crypto, while also thinking long-term about explorations in community, identity, and more. This is an opportunity to help bring crypto to a more general audience--we’re bridging web2 and web3!,”</em> the post read.</blockquote>
The job requirements for the new product manager includes serving as a 'domain expert on all things crypto for the company,' coming up with 'crypto-specific features and products,' informing 'strategic initiatives in the blockchain and web3 space' as well as 'evaluating new protocols, projects, and trends in the crypto industry.'

The qualifications to fill the role includes familiarity with dApps, blockchain interoperability protocols, blockchain scaling protocols, P2P systems, byzantine fault-tolerant distributed systems, or web3 primitives like NFTs and DAOs.

The recent posting indicates that the social media giant has potential cryptocurrency plans in the future as the company looks towards exploring membership tokens, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), including collaborating with Bluesky, the company’s social media decentralization arm.

Twitter launched its dedicated crypto team in November just weeks before co-founder Jack Dorsey left the company to focus on Bitcoin adoption through his other company Block, formerly Square.

In September, the social media platform integrated Bitcoin tipping over the Lightning Network in the platform’s tip jar feature as well as starting Bluesky, the company’s decentralized social media initiative. The company also introduced NFT profile pictures verification this week but only for “Twitter Blue” members using iOS devices.
