React Web3 Jobs in United States

The Innovation team's mission is to accelerate and de-risk the creation and adoption of new technologies for SWIFT and its customers. Innovative technology combined with great methodologies is the ethos of our team. We are champions of responsible innovation – a key objective for our company. To that accord, one of the key streams of work within our team is around exploring Central Bank Digital Currencies and Tokenised Assets. In this space, SWIFT is actively engaging with central banks, financial institutions, technology providers, and academics to explore the potential of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and how SWIFT can support central banks should they implement digital currencies in the future. As part of this role, you will leverage your expertise in digital currencies, distributed ledgers, and blockchain technology to conduct innovation experiments that align with key areas of interest for SWIFT (such as: interoperability between different CBDC networks and existing RTGS payment rails in domestic and cross-border contexts, interlinking between multiple CBDC networks, and tokenisation of securities assets and cash settlement with CBDCs).

Responsibilities

• Design the architecture, data models, and flows for CBDC-related experimentation
• Develop test cases, prepare testing environments, and document the findings to guide business and technical decisions
• Develop CBDC experiments from a technical standpoint and lead the development of Client feature implementation
• Assess the capabilities and limitations of technology vendors, and, where appropriate, evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of DLT or non-DLT technology
• Stay current with technology advancements in the CBDC space and identify technologies that can contribute to SWIFT's strategic goals and provide business value, including suggestions for roadmaps where appropriate
• Utilize a range of proven languages such as Java, Python, and JavaScript on Unix-like virtual machines to build solutions that drive value for our customers and stakeholders
