TL;DR Breakdown
- GameStop has advertised jobs for developers of NFT Platform.
- Company is looking to make a transition to NFT Market.
The GameStop Corporation is a US-based consumer electronics, video games, and gaming merchandise retailer. It is one of the world’s largest retailers and trade-in hubs for games such as Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo. Its online website offers every accessory from gaming consoles and systems, to all kinds of games.
The game corporation has recently taken a giant leap towards building its very own NFT marketplace. Although GameStop and Reddit both seemed to have jumped on the bandwagon for NFTs at the same time, Gamestop has made a slightly different agenda for its hiring. While Reddit looks for a software engineer to run their platforms that feature NFT-backed digital goods. Gamestop on the other hand is now looking for an employee and accompanying team with strong knowledge of cryptos and NFTS. Â
Job availability at GameStop
The Corporation has recently made an online listing looking for an NFT-focused (non-fungible token) Senior Software Engineer alongside an entire team of Directors of Product Marketing and Heads for Gaming Web3. The make-up of pairs of each of these posts will make for a large and strong team that can duly fulfill the work description and take Gamestop to the next level in the NFT market.
All the listed jobs, especially that of the Senior Software Engineer will be remote. The entire team that the company is looking to hire will be a collaboration of engineers, product designers, product managers, and even business partners that are investing from all over the US.
The team will be responsible for the layout designs, building the product for the market, and maintaining the high decorum of services. The core API components must be kept in close context and the features and services must be executed in a way that attracts more and more people.
Transition towards NFT market
GameStop is committed to growing its e-commerce presence. Its fulfillment centers and gaming stores began from 30 locations and grew to around 4800 stores around the globe. However, with the dawn of the online market and the latest realms of the NFT market, it is now clearly minimizing its physical retail shops and outlets and transitioning to the online marketplace.
In order to successfully transition into the NFT market, the company needs a strong backbone of experienced and learned crypto and NFT experts. Important corporations such as Gamestop need expert insight to navigate through the volatile digital market. It is quite hopeful that with the right team of skilled and expert members, Gamestop can transition into the NFT market quite smoothly.
