Blockchain devs looking for work are spoiled for choice right now

Despite regulatory concerns, businesses are still pushing forward and hiring for blockchain and cryptocurrency positions.

Based on a report from job site Indeed, there is less interest from candidates in blockchain and cryptocurrency roles, as searches for the jobs are on the decrease.

To come to this conclusion, Indeed analyzed the percentage change in the share of job postings and share of job searches per million for roles related to Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and blockchain.

As you might expect, the top five jobs in blockchain and cryptocurrency are for engineers, developers, and software architects.

Further to an investigation conducted by Hard Fork earlier this year, the top blockchain and crypto employers are old-school corporate firms.

The likes of Ernst & Young, JP Morgan Chase, and Cisco also make the top 15 companies doing the most hiring for Bitcoin and blockchain jobs.

Based on its findings, Indeed expects these trends to continue into next year, regardless of the regulatory uncertainty facing some projects, like Facebooks Libra.

That is, if you have development skills in Python, Hyperledger, andEthereums Solidity, and want to work inblockchain-based tech.
