Visa is seeking to hire a software engineer with experience in using AI-assisted engineering tools to write and debug smart contracts, according to a tweet by Cuy Sheffield, Visa's Head of Crypto. The company is specifically interested in engineers with experience using GitHub Copilot and other AI tools.

The engineer will work on driving the adoption of public blockchains and stablecoins, which Visa has already begun to work on through new stablecoin and CBDC plans announced in January. Visa also settles USDC transactions on Ethereum and powers payment cards for several popular crypto companies.
