Apple has just published a job offer looking for abusiness development managerspecialized in “alternative payments“. This was posted online on hisjob boardon May 25, and is still available for candidates looking to work in Cupertino (CA). The position requires working forty hours per week, the salary being not communicated publicly, which is what most American companies usually do for the sake of transparency.
Surprisingly, we also note that the role requires a minimum qualification equivalent to the French baccalaureate, even thoughTim Cook announced several months ago that he did not really take diplomas into accountlike most other big bosses in Silicon Valley. Indeed, from now on it is above all experience which takes precedence so much so that we find real brains having abandoned their studies among the most prolific founders of theBay area.
Key Qualifications
According to the announcement, it is required to provide proof of ten years of good and loyal professional service to apply for this offer. To this are added numeroussoft skillsinfluence, autonomy or even analysis. Apple further specifies that the targeted profile must preferably know its ecosystem well, without however being detailed if it concerns Macs, iPhones, iPads or its various software.
The text also adds that knowledge of means of payment “alternatives” is a real plus, mentioning deferred transactions and… cryptocurrencies. No additional information about them is communicated, but hypotheses regarding the integration of this new technology into Apple's services are rife.

A crypto signed by Apple?
One might first think that Apple is considering developing its own virtual currency, as Facebook is doing with the stablecoin Diem. But the content of the offer should then be more oriented in this direction, which seems difficult given the culture of secrecy cultivated at Tim Cook despitehiring experts to work on the Apple Car.
The giant is perhaps also considering extending the compatibility of its Wallet, which already works with traditional bank cards but still not with that of Binance for example. As for the parallel with Bitcoin purchases accepted then withdrawn by Tesla for ecological reasons, it should face theLisa Jackson's commitments to environmental protection. And you, how do you see Apple entering such a market?
