    How does the CBDC tech stack differ from other blockchain projects? I’m preparing for a CBDC project interview and want advice from those with experience.

    I’m a software developer with a finance background, using Rust and JavaScript. What roles exist in CBDC projects, and what skills do they require?

    Should I learn regulatory or financial principles before joining a CBDC team? Any insights or suggestions would help.

    CBDCs offer career opportunities in software development, system architecture, cybersecurity, compliance, policy analysis, and integration. Your background in Rust and JavaScript gives you a strong foundation for technical roles. Developers work on secure transaction systems, smart contract implementations, APIs, and payment solutions. Policy and compliance roles focus on regulatory frameworks, financial laws, and risk management.

    The tech stack for CBDCs differs from typical blockchain projects. While public blockchains like Ethereum focus on decentralization, CBDCs use permissioned ledgers with controlled access. Projects often rely on technologies like Hyperledger Fabric, Corda, and custom DLTs. Rust is valuable for building secure, high-performance systems. JavaScript supports frontend development, user interfaces, and APIs that connect financial services with CBDC platforms.

    To work on CBDCs, learn about monetary policies, AML/CFT regulations, data privacy laws like GDPR, and central banking principles. Understanding payment systems, cross-border settlements, and digital identity verification will help you in both technical and regulatory roles. Reading reports from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) can deepen your knowledge of CBDC frameworks and global standards.

    Good discussion. Many countries are figuring out how CBDCs could be implemented in their economies. So the demand of professionals will certainly increase.
