The number of new jobs listed within the cryptocurrency and blockchain sector has increased dramatically over the last three months, proving that while crypto values may be slow to recover, the blockchain employment industry is powering ahead. While the early days of $100 BTC are over, with most instant crypto-millionaires already minted, the crypto job market explosion is only beginning.
The rapidly evolving blockchain industry has captured the attention of enterprise-level organizations around the world, which is reflected in the positions that are currently available to individuals that possess blockchain development skills.
The most common job posting in the blockchain industry is the generic position of "Blockchain Developer," which can be interpreted to cover virtually any aspect of development within the blockchain sector.
The position doesn't have a specific goal - Microsoft aims to "Explore new market and product opportunities that are emerging based on Blockchain technology," and hopes to find a software engineer that can guide them through the complex and convoluted blockchain landscape.
The sheer number of large-scale organizations seeking blockchain experts is a strong indicator of the level of interest these companies are investing in blockchain technology.
Industry giants may not yet know exactly why they need blockchain experts, but that hasn't stopped Ernst & Young, Intel, Mastercard, Siemens, Amazon, Ford, and American Express from headhunting the best blockchain experts the world has to offer.
One of the most interesting aspects of jobs within the blockchain industry is that the decentralized nature of the crypto economy means that many blockchain jobs are remote positions.
A recent report from Business Insider shows that blockchain developers are currently in high demand in Europe, commanding salaries of up to $180,000 annually.
With enterprise organizations now sniping talented blockchain developers and experts for remote work on a daily basis, it's arguable that the most profitable method of capitalizing on the blockchain revolution is not through trading or investing in cryptocurrency, but learning how to build the networks upon which they operate.
Recent data from AngelList demonstrates that blockchain-related jobs postings have doubled in the first quarter of 2018, proving that while the initial crypto rush may be drawing to a close, the blockchain career industry is only now beginning to warm up.
