Tim Harrison, Marketing and Communications Director at Input Output Global (IOG), Cardano’s developer company, published a job advertisement for a Data Engineer, Consulting Lead, Java Consultant, Solutions Architect, and other positions at this company.<\/p>\n
The applicants will have the opportunity to, according to Harrison, become part of a new \u201cdedicated team\u201d. Their objective will be to support Cardano\u2019s growing community.<\/p>\n
In addition, IOG\u2019s new team will help brim Cardano\u2019s user \u201con board\u201d as the platform approaches its third Hard Fork Combinator (HFC) event \u201cAlonzo\u201d. With a tentative deployment date set for Q3, 2021, Alonzo will integrate Cardano\u2019s smart contract platform Plutus.<\/p>\n
Harrison said<\/a> the network is currently experiencing an increase in developer\u2019s interest:<\/p>\n As we draw ever closer to rolling out #smartcontracts on #Cardano, we\u2019re seeing a HUGE spike in developer interest. Exciting times. So we\u2019re building a new dedicated team to help properly serve this fast-growing community & help bring them on board.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Per IOG\u2019s announcement, Cardano\u2019s developer has around 300 employees. Distributed in over 50 countries around the world, the company claims to embrace different cultures and people. The company states the following:<\/p>\n We aim to make collaboration between diverse people fun, exciting, and always rewarding. Many companies say they \u2018think outside the box\u2019 \u2013 for IO Global it\u2019s more, \u2018we think outside the geography\u2019.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Alonzo is the last of 3 HFC, IOG began to implement them and Cardano\u2019s smart contract capabilities with \u201cAllegra\u201d back in 2020. Later, \u201cMary\u201d was rollout along with the platform\u2019s native tokens functionality.<\/p>\n When Plutus goes live on the mainnet, IOG and Cardano\u2019s community will achieve an important milestone<\/a>. The smart contracts will expand the network’s use cases and could bring a new wave of users and developers seeking to leverage its features.<\/p>\n After, as Cardano\u2019s inventor Charles Hoskinson stated,<\/a> the company will focus on developing Ouroboros Omega. Hoskinson revealed<\/a> via his Twitter handle on April 18th<\/sup>, an additional $1.5 million for this project\u2019s budget. Therefore, its development and delivery will be accelerated.<\/p>\n Ouroboros Omega will be the improved version of Cardano\u2019s current consensus mechanism. Little has been revealed on the update, but it could give this network more security, fast finality, more throughput, and scalability.<\/p>\n ADA is trading at $1,24 with 2.7% losses in the daily chart. In the weekly and monthly chart, ADA has 1.9% and 4.7% losses.<\/p>\nIOG doubles down on Cardano\u2019s Ouroboros Omega<\/h2>\n
