Chainlink Labs offers a hybrid blockchain solution. Smart contracts on Ethereum and other blockchain platforms have been revolutionary. However, they are severely limited because only a limited amount of data is on-chain and verifiable. Chainlink opens that up by connecting additional data sources to blockchain platforms. It includes any data such as the weather, market data, and even sports. For example, a smart contract can be created to follow the price of a stock, and the data would be tamper-proof. Chainlink expands the applications of blockchain platforms to a whole new level.
As chainlink is growing rapidly, hundreds of Chainlink Jobs are available in Engineering, Analytics, Design, and marketing. The company has been around for a few years, and a chainlink career would be a good experience for both newcomers and experienced people in the crypto industry. All Chainlink jobs are remote.
