Despite the controversy surrounding Facebook’s Libra project, the team is still hiring vigorously to ensure the cryptocurrency can continue development.

According to The Irish Times, the group plans to hire 50 some odd employees by the end of this month for its Calibra subsidiary. Of course, Calibra is the wallet behind the Libra cryptocurrency.

This is especially interesting considering the pandemic, where millions of jobs are being cut. It is assumed these employees would work remotely during the pandemic.

Speaking on the matter is Laura Morgan Walsh, the head of operations at Calibra:

“During this time of global uncertainty, we’re continuing to invest in our team located in Dublin. We’re actively hiring experts in fraud, compliance, workforce management and customer care to expand our operations team supporting the Calibra wallet.”
