最近Spotify發布了兩條招聘信息,重點關注Web3。除此之外,迪士尼(Disney)、耐克(Nike)等越來越多的公司都希望在新興行業招聘。
Spotify在LinkedIn上公布了一份招聘高級后端工程師的信息,要求是“促進與產品、市場分析和設計部門合作,發現利用Web3等新技術的增長機會。”該工程師將與Spotify設在免費增值部門的實驗性增長“愛迪生團隊”合作。
該公司最近還發布了創新和市場情報高級經理職位,直接向創新和市場情報主管匯報,還必須通曉新興趨勢,“尤其是與內容、創作者、媒體、Web3和新興技術行業相關的新興趨勢,”招聘信息中寫道。
對于《財富》雜志的置評請求,Spotify并未立即回復。
Web3是下一代互聯網的總稱,包括非同質化代幣(NFT)、加密貨幣、元宇宙和去中心化工具,以及不受單個實體或個人控制的工具。雖然涵蓋內容廣泛,但過去幾個月里并未影響數家公司招兵買馬。
目前尚不清楚Spotify的目標與Web3有何關聯,但最近跟其他一些科技公司一樣將這項新興技術納入了業務。YouTube、Facebook母公司Meta和微軟(Microsoft)有些直接圍繞Web3招聘,至少也有所提及。過去一周,YouTube在LinkedIn上發布了至少三個與Web3相關的職位,其中包括一名產品管理總監,要求是“在YouTube定義、溝通和執行Web3的愿景、戰略和路線圖。”
2021年,Meta在元宇宙投資了100億美元,最近也在招聘幾個崗位。舉例來說,Instagram正在尋找時尚領軍人物,將與時尚界意見領袖制定結合Web3和元宇宙的戰略。至于主要關注虛擬和增強現實的Reality Labs部門,Meta正在招聘七名員工,其中包括一名元宇宙工程總監,將領導新創建的“商業工程-元宇宙組織”。根據招聘信息,該總監將負責元宇宙相關的關鍵領域,比如虛擬形象,以及公司的Horizon Worlds平臺和Spark AR平臺。
除了科技巨頭,時尚和服裝公司為了加快打造自家產品的數據版本,也開始紛紛尋找精通元宇宙和Web3技術的候選人。
在時尚領域,奢侈品牌古馳(Gucci)和巴黎世家(Balenciaga)最近發布了與Web3相關的職位。巴黎世家表示,2021年12月推出“元宇宙部門”,當月晚些時候發布了元宇宙業務協調員崗位。今年早些時候,古馳與巴黎世家的共同母公司開云集團(Kering)發布了“Web3經理”崗位,常駐米蘭。
運動鞋和服裝巨頭耐克也加入了人才爭奪戰。截至3月18日,耐克在LinkedIn上發布了至少11條招聘信息,其中包括“Web3”或“元宇宙”。相關職位包括元宇宙工程總監和虛擬材料設計師等。2021年,耐克收購了生產并銷售非同質化代幣(包括虛擬鞋)的公司RTFKT Studio,還為鞋和服裝等虛擬商品申請了商標,后來又對總部位于底特律的運動鞋和服裝交易所StockX提起訴訟,指控該公司出售的非同質化代幣對耐克的商標造成了侵權。(財富中文網)

The streaming giant posted two jobs recently with a focus on Web3 initiatives, joining a growing group of companies from Disney to Nike looking to hire in the emerging sector.
The company posted a listing on LinkedIn for a senior backend engineer who would “facilitate collaboration with product, insights, and design to uncover the next growth opportunity leveraging new technologies, like Web3.” The engineer will work with Spotify’s experimental growth “Edison team” within its freemium division.
The company also recently posted a position for a senior manager of innovation and market intelligence. The manager will report directly to Spotify’s head of innovation and market intelligence and must be well versed in emerging trends, “especially as it relates to the content, creator, media, Web3, and emerging technology industries,” according to the listing.
Spotify did not immediately respond to Fortune’s request for comment.
Web3 is a blanket term for the next generation of the internet which incorporates NFTs, cryptocurrencies, the metaverse, and tools that are decentralized, or not controlled by a single entity or person. The broadness of the term hasn’t stopped several companies from incorporating it into their job listings in the past few months.
It’s unclear what Spotify’s ambitions are related to Web3, but it joins a number of other companies in tech that have recently incorporated the emerging technology into their operations. YouTube, Facebook parent company Meta, and Microsoft have either centered job listings around Web3 or mentioned the term. YouTube has posted at least three listings on LinkedIn in the past week for Web3-related roles including a director of product management who will “define, communicate, and execute the vision, strategy, and road map for Web3 at YouTube.”
Meta, which invested $10 billion in the metaverse last year, has also posted several jobs at its companies. Instagram, for example, is looking for a fashion lead who will work with fashion influencers to create a strategy incorporating Web3 and the metaverse, according to the listing. At Reality Labs, which focuses on virtual and augmented reality, Meta is hiring seven people, including a director of metaverse engineering who will lead its newly created “Business Engineering—Metaverse organization.” The director will oversee key metaverse-related areas, like avatars, the company’s Horizon Worlds platform, and its Spark AR platforms, according to the listing.
Outside of major tech players, fashion and apparel companies have also stepped up their search for candidates with expertise in the metaverse and Web3 technology, as they increasingly pursue the opportunity to make digital versions of their products.
In the fashion sector, luxury brands Gucci and Balenciaga recently posted jobs related to Web3. Balenciaga said it was launching a “metaverse department” last December, and posted a listing for a meta business coordinator later that month. Gucci, which shares a parent company—Kering—with Balenciaga, posted a listing for a Milan-based “Web3 manager” earlier this year.
Shoe and apparel behemoth Nike is also jumping into the race for talent. As of Thursday, the company had at least 11 job postings on LinkedIn that either included the term “Web3” or “metaverse.” The positions include a director of metaverse engineering and a virtual material designer. Last year, the company bought RTFKT Studios, a company that makes and sells NFTs, including virtual shoes. It also filed trademark applications related to virtual goods like shoes and clothing last year and later filed a lawsuit against Detroit-based sneaker and apparel exchange StockX for allegedly selling NFTs that infringe on its trademarks.
