Old fashioned doublespeak. They don't want bitcoiners. They've done some keyword analysis to see that the word bitcoin and the word banking show up together often lately but bitcoin gets a higher response rate. Therefore they must somehow include the word bitcoin in the job description. https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=doublespeak

That certainly seems more likely.

The problem is the very people they're searching for don't want the banking sector to exist! LOL! Cheesy

Well, lots of people hate their jobs/employers but still do the job.

Or maybe it's a good opportunity to plant the "Trojan horse" there? Where's Amir Taaki when you need him the most Wink

But I wonder how many of the lead devs would be willing to take such position if the money is really good.

Hahahaha! Amir would be perfect for the position. Grin

yeah ok, I'm ambivalent about work for the death star JP morgue … might be a good way to get inside and sow misinformation about bit coin though. Nothing worse than they have been doing screwing with markets, money supply, justice system, politics, food, energy, etc, etc … all for their own benefit.

Last I heard they were totally pwned early last year, would be surprised if they last until the next decade … big, fat, ripe, nasty targets have a habit of imploding in spectacular fashion.

If they paid me in Bitcoin I might do it, that being said, they would certainly not like what I'd have to say and would fire me within 10 minutes of hiring me despite their claims of wanting somebody critical of financial institutions.

In a nutshell, this is a very poor attempt at joining someone they can't beat/overcome... They will probably have no luck in finding anyone. Unless they pay in Bitcoin Grin

Attention disruptors: You might not be interested in J.P. Morgan Chase but it is interested in you.

A recent job posting on its website highlighted the challenge facing Wall Street firms looking for cutting-edge technologists: They need people who aren’t eager to work for them.

The job title is a typical corporate bromide: “new product development product delivery manager-Associate/VP.”

The description is far more interesting: “You care about disruption and have opinions on the future of banking, the payments system, and how to improve upon our existing financial infrastructure. You have an opinion on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and you are probably ambivalent about the prospect of working for a large financial institution.”

The bank even sounded almost apologetic about its size: “Sure, we are part of a large financial services firm operating in a highly-regulated environment, and that means we are not as flexible or agile as your average company – let alone a startup.”

Disruptors shouldn’t forget to submit twitter handles with their resumes.
