Blockchain technology is poised to become the next big computing paradigm, disrupting existing processes and unlocking new business models through secure multi-party computation. In a rapidly evolving digital economy, blockchain technology will form the backbone of the next era of distributed enterprise and consumer applications with its business value surging to exceed $3.1 trillion by 2030 per Gartner. Businesses are looking to understand and apply the distributed ledger technology that started with Bitcoin to streamline and innovate their business problems.
At the Rakuten Blockchain Lab based in Belfast city centre, we have grown an engineering team of 10 during our first year of operation. We have just
launched our first application and have a number of additional active blockchain projects due for production launch in the next 3-6 months. The existing team collectively has many years of experience in building secure, high availability enterprise platforms for financial services, health and consumer electronics sectors. We will be growing the team to 20 over the next 12 months and as a result are now actively seeking to fill a number of open vacancies. The projects are both interesting and challenging, providing an environment that should satisfy ambitious career aspirations through growth opportunities. This is an exciting opportunity to be at the core of delivering
blockchain based solutions and integration services that will enable the transformation of Rakuten businesses.
