Prospective candidates should have a Bachelor's degree, over a decade of experience in product or program management, technology commercialization or technology and experience in cryptocurrency.

Some of the country's biggest companies have gotten into cryptocurrency in recent months. At the end of July, Amazon listed an open job for a digital currency and blockchain product lead, causing bitcoin to skyrocket. AMC announced last Monday that American movie-goers will soon be able to use bitcoin to pay for tickets and concessions.
