NFTs that contain artworks digitized with blockchain technology have been causing a mania since the second quarter of 2021. These digitized works seemingly came out of nowhere, and now, some of the biggest companies in the world are looking into how to better use NFTs.
Reddit Joins The Game

The post refers to the Senior Back End Engineer position for the platform which supports NFTs selling-buying and creation. The qualified candidate is required to have at least 5-year experience in backend development experience and cryptocurrency knowledge.
The job description pointed that:

With every new NFT project, a vibrant community of owners pops up with it. Fans of today’s biggest creators and brands are now flocking to buy digital goods directly from them — to support them, to gain exclusive access, and to feel a greater sense of connection with them.”
While major crypto exchanges are launching and developing their own NFTs marketplace, notably Binance, Coinbase, and FTX.US Social media networks are also working to support the technology.
Previous releases have involved Facebook, Twitter, and Tik Tok joining the force and showing strong interest through their future plans and collectibles. Reddit is making sure that it is not the outsider amid the hype.
