Job search is facilitated by filters. Search is possible by categories, keywords, location and combinations of these parameters.

CryptoJobList

As with previous platforms, many large crypto companies are promoting the need for a workforce here. Recently listed advertisers include Status, 0x Protocol, Circle, Metamask, Brave, ShapeShift, etc. Jobs can be searched by category, location and job type. There are separate sections on the platform with links to individual companies.

Additional Features

In these special sections each company has an opportunity to briefly present itself to potential employees. That enables everyone interested to gain a better understanding of how the company works as well as some other details from the daily life and work of their employees.

In addition to companies’ sections, there are salaries and open feed sections. In the salaries section, you will need to fill out a form with information about your salary and job details you are working on, after which you will be granted access to other participants’ salaries. That enables transparency of wages within the industry. Currently, 70 participants made available their payroll data. The open feed section provides real-time information on platform activities.

There we can see when someone applied for a job, new job openings, postings about salaries and similar information. CryptoJobs is a well-designed and useful site and don’t leave it out in your search for jobs. 

Cryptocurrency Jobs

This is another platform specializing in blockchain industry jobs. The interface is transparent and simple. As with similar job advertising platforms, search is possible by category, term, location (plus a special category for remote jobs).

Here, too, large companies such as Amazon, Bitfinex, Blockchain, Metamask, Synthetix, OmiseGo and others are looking for their future employees. Within the platform, there is a section listing companies with job ads. Businesses are listed alphabetically, making search easier and more transparent.

Finally, the section Salaries provide an overview of salaries for different types of jobs with averages in different world regions.

Cryptocurrency Jobs is a great, well-rounded platform with all the tools you need, respectable clients and a good selection of jobs. As expected, job search is free, while employers will pay $ 199 upwards depending on the level of service they opt for.

Other Places to Find Jobs

In addition to the major platforms described above, blockchain and cryptocurrency jobs can be found on some other job posting portals. Below is a list of some of them:

Social networks are also one of the places to find jobs. Search Facebook for blockchain jobs or some similar term, filter the results only to Facebook groups and you’ll get quite a few results, including some large and active groups with a good job offer. On Reddit, visit the subreddit on https://www.reddit.com/r/Jobs4Bitcoins/ with over 27,000 members where you can find listings of jobs paid in Bitcoin.  

Payment

Regardless of which platform you will use, it’s important to keep yourself informed about payment methods. It’s not uncommon for some of the smaller companies to offer you a payment in their token.

In a situation like this, make sure to check the liquidity of that token, on which exchanges it is listed on and whether you can exchange it for Bitcoin, Ether, or some stablecoin. For that you can use platforms like Coinmarketcap, Messari or Coingecko. If none of the above has worked for you, you can always create a list of blockchain companies you want to work for, find contact information on their web pages and contact them directly. Employers will often appreciate this approach and this will help you to stand out from the crowd.

We hope that this guide will help you to launch your career in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry.

 Good luck!
