The idea was to pick the smaller, less hyped up startups that look like good quality but you wouldn't normally stumble upon them because maybe they aren't shilling on Reddit and so on. But there were requests on Medium to add bigger companies like Coinbase, so in this edition that was done. (Any other feedback or discussion is of course welcome!)
It is not sponsored, the whole site that publishes it doesn't earn any money whatsoever. I just think it is extremely interesting to follow job listings to get a general idea about the state of the blockchain / crypto industry.
If you've been browsing jobs on Angel list or wherever for a bit you must have noticed how the types of listings change and what companies are doing which in different phases of the price activity of BTC (and alts) - there was the boom with overconfident overfunded startups were hiring like mad, and then firing people later during the slump while at those times there were companies that quietly kept getting their sh*t together.
These days it seems startups are getting more aggressive, apparently the VCs are not throwing funding on anything that has blockchain in its name, so the job listings are getting more demanding. Interesting insights to get from that even if you're not interested in getting a job right now, IMO.
The list is updated monthly and
accessible from the website, via
this Medium publication and also
as a monthly email with links directly to Angel List, Lever or wherever the job was found.
This month's edition:

They are hardcore geeks mostly known in the Linux community, but being dilligent about sourcing of hardware is really something we should see more in the crypto world.
Looking for: Coders with experience in Linux development - This year, Purism is working on their privacy-focused phone Librem. For some time now they have been looking for people who would help them research the hardware, debug code, run tests and all the rest of the backend stuff.

Looking for: Backend and Frontend Developers. There are still some job openings in New York City at OpenSea. Calls for some experience, but pays 6 figures and shares.
