Redditors cheer as GameStop assembles a team of NFT experts

GameStop is assembling a team of blockchain and nonfungible token (NFT) experts to work on the firm’s upcoming NFT platform.

The firm’s GME stock is a cult favorite among retail traders as a result of the r/Wallstreetbets and Robinhood saga earlier this year. On Reddit, the r/Superstonk community boasts 659,000 members and is dedicated to hosting business and stock discussions related to GME.

A post about GameStop’s job listings on Tuesday has received more than 10,000 upvotes at the time of writing, with many members posting bullish sentiments over GameStop’s latest move.

GameStop quietly unveiled a bare-bones website for its NFT marketplace in May. The site currently features a Nintendo Gameboy-style gaming console with an Ethereum logo, along with a message calling out for recruits to work on the platform.

Since then, the firm has held its cards close to its chest. However, on Monday, it listed a total of eight jobs for crypto-friendly candidates, including three roles for NFT-experienced software engineers, three jobs for product marketers, and two roles focused on Web 3.0-based gaming.

One of the listings for the head of Web 3.0 gaming job says that GameStop is looking for someone with experience with “Ethereum, NFTs and blockchain-based gaming platforms.” The firm has also hinted that there are some plans related to a metaverse in the works.

“GameStop is looking for a unique individual who can help accelerate the future of gaming and commerce. In this future, games are the places to go, and play is driven by the things you bring. Future creators won’t just build games but also the components, characters, and equipment. Blockchains will power the commerce underneath,” the job listing reads.
