The blockchain field is growing at a breakneck speed, and job opportunities are available for people of all talents. Despite recent crashes in crypto prices and layoffs, more projects are building in the space than ever before and many are still hiring. The industry is poised to grow significantly over the next decade and emerging fields such as DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and more are pushing the boundaries of blockchain tech.

As with other tech jobs, crypto salaries vary widely depending on the particular skills you have — programmers, lawyers, and traders are compensated the best, while roles like customer success, marketing, and product design are considered more entry level. While much of the work in blockchain is still technical, there is a growing number of non-technical roles emerging which are great for beginners and experienced professionals in non-technical fields.

Crypto Job Boards

While traditional job search websites like Indeed have the largest selection of jobs, the best way to find out about the latest blockchain positions is to browse crypto-dedicated job boards. Several big job boards provide the most up-to-date look at the crypto job market, and many of them even have daily or weekly job alerts that will notify you whenever new jobs are posted.

Crypto Job Boards For Hiring: If you are looking to hire crypto professionals, posting a job opening on a crypto job board is a great way to get in front of potential candidates. Each of the three job boards outlined below charges a fee to post a job. These boards also provide different tiers of job posts, and the more you pay, the more visibility and promotion your job post receives.

How To Get A Crypto Job

To find crypto or blockchain-related roles, include those terms in your search. Keep in mind that many of these jobs are remote, so you can look for opportunities with companies located anywhere in the world
