How to get a job in a blockchain technology company
The COVID-19 pandemic changed many aspects of our daily lives and now most of us spend time at home. At the same time, we are witnessing a decline in revenue for most of us and the forecasts are everything else but optimistic.
In these circumstances, the logical question for many of us is how to make money working from home. In the text below you can find an overview of places on the Internet where companies publish jobs related to blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. Often, such companies pay their workers and associates in cryptocurrencies.
Cryptotask
Cryptotask is a Croatian startup launched in 2017. Cryptotask is a decentralized free-market ecosystem that directly connects freelancers with companies looking for workers. Using blockchain technology, this platform also provides fast and easy dispute resolution regarding finished jobs.
A decentralized system where the reputation of each participant is stored on the blockchain ensures the fair operation of the platform without the possibility of censorship or similar activities, as is the case with centralized platforms.
Cryptotask has recently partnered with The Freelance Institute – a global freelancer community assembled on the Slack platform. In addition to blockchain jobs, you will find other work-from-home jobs on this platform. Cryptotask is the perfect place to find remote jobs, especially during periods we’re witnessing today.
The world’s largest platform for professionals is well known to the majority of the population. According to a recent LinkedIn survey, the most sought after skill of 2020 is precisely the blockchain.

Other Places to Find Jobs

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!
