Last update: November 4, 2020


The most recently updated list is here: https://cryptotexty.io/crypto-jobs-2020/

-----------------------------------

In these days of economic crisis, employment and jobs are important topic. I've checked many projects, crypto sites and made a list of 15 jobs.

Firstly I will feature the one, where I would apply if I was developer https://www.iovlabs.org/careers.html
Isn't this amazing to work on Smart contracts for Bitcoin?

I would be happy to hear your thoughts on this topic and/or links to other crypto jobs

And here is my full article:

Coronavirus already shaped many aspects of our society. But let's talk not about the economic damage which COVID-19 brought and will bring, but about some opportunities. As any crisis brings opportunities, now you can see that those people who work and can work remotely have anti-fragility, while many other people suffer from the loose or pause of their jobs.


Last times I was checking different cryptocurrencies, I checked of them from Top-100 Coinmarketcap list (and of course I constantly visit and check many other project, and "Top-100" is definitely not the main criteria for my crypto-interest).
May of crypto projects, foundations, associations have job listed on their sites.
I went through all of them, so I just scrolled, some read in details, and even applied to few)

Here I want to present you the list of the most interesting jobs I found. As I don't know when you will read this post - the jobs might change and vary. You know that crypto world is vert dynamic. So while I'm writing more jobs are created, and some vacancies are closing.

It won't be surprise that most of jobs are for developers. Often companies don't have open jobs, but mention of their web-site that they are constantly looking for talents and leave their e-mail. Some companies and crypto projects don't have Job or Career section at all, and some use headhunters and freelance sites like Upwork to find employees.

I think this thread is a bit offtopic, these 50-100 jobs have zero global significance, so it would be more suitable for boards like Services or Project Development or Bitcoin Discussion. Anyway, I know from practice that jobs are very scarce in crypto field, and now with a lot of people getting unemployed due to the virus, there will be even more competition for the jobs that we have.

Do you work at the job which has global significance? If yes, maybe there are open positions?) Then this topic won't be offtopic

In Services or Project Development it will be more offtopic, as this is not about some particular service or project.

Even if 1 person finds a job thanks to these links - I think it was worthy of sharing

I agree that there will be more competition, but the links I provided show that jobs in crypto are not scarce.
Of course it's a matter of comparison. There are way more IT guys who work for banks, but those who want to find job in crypto - there are always open opportunities.

With millions of people getting unemployed due to the spread of the global pandemic. Many jobless are seeking other side hustles and indeed you can find this most jobs in Crypto space as the financial crisis worsen many companies even remote jobs that invested or using fiat based salary's are getting bankrupt therefore pushing people towards crypto.

True! Such number of jobs don't have any global significance. However, we have to remember that blockchain technology is just 11 years old and it started gaining traction since 2018 only. Probably, what we are seeing right now is just the tip of the iceberg. Linkedin also created a section for blockchain related jobs. See the link below,

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/blockchain-jobs?

So we can safely assume that blockchain releted jobs will see higher momentum in near future once this COVID-19 crisis is over. Whatever we are seeing in the market now, is not the actual picture of the economy. This crisis is temporary and once economy is back to track, a lot of unemployed people will find their way to employment.

Do you have any proof or information that those Altcoin projects actually pay?
If I was a blockchain developer/programmer,I would be very cautious before I join such projects.
Nobody wants to work hard for X amount of time and get paid 0 dollars in the end.
I'm not a programmer so I'm not interested in such jobs.Good luck to all blockchain developers,who are currently seeking for a legit full time job.

In these times of crisis, being in a quarantine with no access to the oustide world: jobs and opportunities, it is good to have these kinds of tips and information for us, especially those who really need ways to earn money for their own needs and supplies in a crisis like this because, we should not only rely from the help of other people and the Government in our country, we should too need to strive more to survive this pandemic. Even as a small timer only here, I am thankful to have this opportunity to earn extra money by posting for my needs and stuffs.

[Flodner]

Do you have any proof or information that those Altcoin projects actually pay?

Well, of course, they pay.
I know some people who work there (my be not in these 15 projects which I featured) but at some other

And thanks everyone for your interest and comments!

This can be an alternative for those developers that don't have actual work while on lockdown if their companies didn't allow them to bring their jobs at home.

I might check it and forward these links to someone who has the right skill for these openings. I appreciate your compilation.

[Twentyonepaylots]

Yeah I think it too, unemployed people who are eligible for the position that needs to work from home might be interested on the job offerings especially to those who attend in physical office of their company.
The coronavirus is getting severe so might as well save everything up from working until it is available, we don't know when we are going to find the cure or vaccine on this.

I might check it and forward these links to someone who has the right skill for these openings. I appreciate your compilation.

I wish I have a degree to fulfill my dream job haha.

Survival.

This is what everyone is thinking right now. And qualified people might grab the respective opportunity that they can take as long as the payment will be guaranteed to them.

Don't think of the degree, think of being qualified because you are skilled and show it to them.

[Yatsan]

Don't think of the degree, think of being qualified because you are skilled and show it to them.

Sadly, degree is a must here in crypto/blockhain field, If you really want to have a job that have a good salary then, you must have a degree. Most of the reputable company are asking for it, Information technology or any related field will do. What I know that doesn't need a degree is jobs are those which are related to art or being a graphic designer cause what you need in that is a portfolio.

Here's a addition to the list, all of them are good jobs and need a degree. But if you are crypto enthusiast and love this kind of job then, it's for you.

It can be a requirement for most of the companies but if you truly are skilled they could spare you for that requirement and send you a probationary period.

IT is changing, innovating and the things that you have learned in the school and up to the moment you graduated upgrades as well so they can give you a consideration if you truly are a worthy candidate.

if you knew a friend that works on that company your applying with , maybe they can spare you up even if you are lacking on some requirements but as long as you have knowledge on the job that you are applying for  .

also IT related stuffs can be easily learned on the net because many infos and tutorials are now available   . anyone can become good at it if they are dedicated to learn and educate them selves online  . the longer the year we have the better oppurtunities open for bitcoin and cryptos section  , also blockchain as well  .

As long as we have not finished with a COVID-19 problem and the repercussions of continuing the lockdown, many companies will not want to contract for long periods with more employees, and the market will be promising for those who want to hire, and therefore the best investment now is to teach yourself more things and thus you can compete in the future.

To work in the field of crypto/Blockchain, you do not need a certificate, but to know what to do and thus more training will make you better.
Finally, this crisis highlighted the positive role of online work the extent of confidence in it.

Many companies lost money due to the impact of Covid-19 and their targets were no longer achieved so the dismissal of employees continued until the pandemic was truly completed in the near future.
Turning the brain is the most important thing where we will work alone with investment in crypto that is controlled by trading daily, short-term investment, I think this is a good thing for all of us who experience dismissal from the company.

Cryptocurrency is the best investment at the time of this pandemic but the market has shown positive results where our profits will be seen if held.

[FanatMonet]

Not everyone can work in this area. This requires knowledge in the field of cryptocurrencies, and knowledge of application development and other things. Therefore, one can really say here that this is a drop in the ocean. Need more jobs, and with a wide range of opportunities.

As for our quarantine duration here, our president decided to extend the quarantine since the cases are still getting higher day by day. The market is still intact but how long it will sustain that phase? this is a crisis and investment is the sure key to survive in the future but how will you survive now? Companies and businesses are closed and with that employees are having no income and just relying on what the company and the government will provide them. Government cannot just print money and give to its people. This will be a lesson for all of us that investment is a treasure in emergencies. Crypto will get bigger in the next few months after the pandemic is cured.

To work in the field of crypto/Blockchain, you do not need a certificate, but to know what to do and thus more training will make you better.

Reputation? I guess it is the vital key you need coz every one can say that they earned a lot through trading or been in the industry for so many years.

11 years is a pretty long time in the world of technology, for example most Javascript frameworks weren't even created back then, but today there are millions of jobs around them. But this isn't the case with blockchain, and developers themselves are very skeptical about it, according to multiple big surveys conducted by Stackoverflow and other companies. Blockchain will never be a big field, it will either disappear completely or will shrink to some very niche uses.

for 2020, maybe the work on cryptocurrency cannot be done by everyone, with the reduction in potential projects currently making many people lose money. only those who are really thorough can do it and can survive here, I don't think the current conditions are suitable for spending all the time in this line of work, it's better to have another job as well
