The description calls for someone who can “own the vision and strategy for Amazon’s Digital Currency and Blockchain strategy and product roadmap” as well as someone who has a “Deep understanding of the digital / cryptocurrency ecosystem and related technologies.”
The role would be within the Payments Acceptance & Experience team at Amazon and would “develop Amazon’s Digital Currency and Blockchain strategy and product roadmap.”
