The security benefits of blockchain technology when applied to business operations are just too effective to ignore. Therefore, many organizations are looking for ways to integrate blockchain databases into daily operations. The process of developing, implementing, and maintaining blockchain solutions requires a particular type of engineer.

The blockchain integration specialist must not only have the technical expertise to develop practical blockchain solutions, but they must also be able to understand the requirements of the specific business transaction they are attempting to secure. This combination requires talent, experience, and an aptitude for outside-the-box thinking.

DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS, AND SKILLSETS

The technical aspects of how blockchain technology works at the basest mathematical level can be extremely complicated. However, when it comes to practical business uses, it is best to think of blockchain technology as a specialized database. From that perspective, what a hiring manager is looking for in a set of candidates is a talented, effective database engineer with specialized skills.

It is important to keep in mind that blockchain integration specialist is a relatively new job role. Calling for applicants with 15 years of blockchain experience is an impractical expectation that will leave you with only a few less-than-truthful candidates. The best candidates will have extensive experience as database engineers — engineers that have recently chosen to specialize in blockchain integration.

To further narrow the potential field of qualified candidates, it is vital that hiring managers specify the type of business transaction involved in the blockchain integration project. If you are looking to integrate blockchain into your supply chain procedures, you will want to restrict your search to those candidates familiar with your industry, business, and particular supply chain characteristics. The more specific you can be about the role your new hire will fill, the better your choice of candidates.
