Interesting to see Washington that high. I would have expected somewhere like San Fransisco or even New York (third and fifth respectively) to be at the top but somehow Washington is at the top.

And if you look at the other cities you're going to have a surprise.
I don't know who made this and how he managed to grab the data but

Number 9 Arlington is a city in Texas but also a county in Virginia, two steps away from Washington DC.
Reston is again a city in Virginia, 20 miles from Washington DC.
McLean is again a city in Virginia, again, 10 miles from Washington DC.
Guess where Tysons is?
Virginia
How far...
11 miles

Also, there are 20 states with acity called Afton, guess who has one... Grin

Of course there will be a positive impact on cryptocurrency. The more blockchain developers are hired the more blockchain projects are being done and the more blockchain projects are done the more money goes into crypto infrastructure and the more money goes into it the better it gets and the better it gets the more people buy crypto.

It is simply just how mainstream it gets, if you can literally use bitcoin all over the world that means bitcoin won't be 10k when that happens, it will be much much more and that is why I doubt there would be no relation blockchain developers and the price will eventually go up the more blockchain developers are hired.

We need the world covered fully in blockchain companies so that we can actually have crypto all around us and that only happens with blockchain startups.

The development of Blockchain's employment does not mean that it will have a positive impact on cryptocurrencies.
Surprised by the lack of entry of large companies such as Facebook & Bakkt. I think that such companies can employ thousands of employees.
What do you mean by Blockchain company? And why Binance is not on that list?
Also, some attractive countries like Malta.

I do see lot of advertisement in youtube about learning blockchain courses and that ad explains blockchain related person is the second most wanted people to be hired and in future it will be in number one so take your course early to get expert it into blockchain related products.

That is truly an informative post users who have been with plans of becoming a blockchain developer will know the opportunities that are available globally. This will also give some positive energy to work hard to be one among the blockchain developers working for the top companies. Even with the job search portals we can see lot of requirements for blockchain development.

Well moreover blockchain is a technology that is still fairly new, of course competition is still low compared to other developers. But behind that, blockchain developers have extraordinary challenges in learning blockchain technology due to limited learning space for blockchain developers.

I see a lot of companies hiring for blockchain developers on LinkedIn, but it's not balanced because blockchain developers are still limited. I myself will try to learn more about this technology, because I believe blockchain has good potential in future for developers and world.

I was wondering if you could provide data on the hiring trends of on some of the most active and existing and notable projects

for us to have a meaningful overview of projects and to assess them accordingly so that we could have a significant insight

with regards to its development agenda.

That is true but everyone who is interested needs to know that this trend will not last so long so they have to be fast. In fact the need to hire will exist but at one moment the market will be flooded with such developers and the price and conditions will fall.

I don't expect that will happen in the next five or ten years. Running an exchange, for example, requires a lot of people to develop the code. I don't think there are a lot of people who can do that at the moment, so the market won't be as saturated as bounty hunters, for example. Even in general development jobs, people are still hiring.

But yeah, entering as early as possible is great to build portfolio and jobs, before the market is flooded with too many workers.

Same on what I'm seeing on next 5 to 10 years.Blockchain development wont easily be wiped out nor can we say that it will have a short trend.We can really see the demand as of these days specially cryptomarket is booming up or simply blockchain tech adoption is on the move.Companies or people who do tend to built out business will really need the help of these developers.Lucky for those people who able to get a degree in related with programing or developing area where their primary knowledge is really in demand.I agree on the saying that the earlier would really have the advantage when it comes to payrate and demand but lets see if these numbers will bloat out so fast in near future years to come.

This is so new and recent that if you have a job right now, you can spend your nights learning any language you want and than learn to be a blockchain developer, it may take 1-2-3-4 years, doesn't matter how long it takes, if you become a blockchain developer in 5 years that would mean you will be looked for and have a job. In the age where the economy is horrible everywhere and there are tons of unemployed people, having the luxury to pick your own job and be sought after is really going to make you a king in job market.

Not only you will get great offers, but also if you start to work at a place you don't like you will have the chance to just quit and get another job very quickly. Don't even get me started on having the chance to make a ton of money as well. All you have to do is put in the work and you will have a better life.

Would be better if you made a historical chart so that we can compare the current state of blockchain job market with the last year and 2017. Something is telling me that the trend is negative, the hype is already dead, no serious company would say today that they are excited about blockchain technology, and many of those who were hyping it are now very quiet about it.

There are tons of other languages like that as well, most software developers know at least 2 or 3 of course but there are newbies who are good at just one. Think of blockchain developers like that, just a software developer who learned Java, than phyton and now blockhain, and applies for that kind of jobs, its gonna get only bigger.

Exactly, so if you are a software developer who have that kind of skills, you should at least jump on the bandwagon and go with blockchain technology. At least you are going to be flexible and more options to get a job in the future. And this has just started, this is a niche market pretty small if you look at it today.

But down five years from now, more company are going to shift from their legacy database and move to blockchain because of the many advantages of it. So it's a good thing to have a plan b for software developers, learn blockchain and you are definitely in for the future.

I don't think it is worth it to study blockchain technology for a job because the field is really niche and the amount of available jobs are really low. Why would companies move over from traditional databases to a decentralized one? Blockchain databases are slow and costly compared to what we have now.

The fastest always profit the best, they will get experiences and references for the future so new appearing ones will not have such good chance. But I guess those in the business are aware of that.

Its no surprise that this is the trend because more and more companies that have people who have visions and right perspective of the future are beginning to see themselves preparing for that future and by so doing have to start employing people who can place them on that pedestal. Someone mentioned PWC, and I have equally read about EY having the same thing but I think the reason why those two companies is because most developers they would need would really be for consulting purposes and not for end to end transactions because they don't produce and they are also not running a business where the technology would be deployed to their daily activities but because they want to be able to stand in a position of authority when convincing their big clients all over the world on the potentials of blockchain while they are appointed as consultants on the project then they go home with fat cheques.

There will be more and more companies hiring blockchain developers for sure, think of it as a software development job and not just something new and related to crypto directly. Like for example people do search for C# developers right? They are also looking for phyton developers?

Regarding top cities, where in China and Japan?

Yes unfortunately they would be underrepresented as we couldn't find any easy way to understand and parse job boards that are not in English.
The reports mainly represents US, Europe and India, geographies which use English-speaking job boards.

Fair enough, technically though, China and Japan is not cities my bad. Grin

I'm curious about my country though, Manila, Philippines and I search our local job portal services and found a couple jobs regarding blockchain.

I'm also surprised that big companies like IBM is not included in the list.

They are offering blockchain solutions to companies globally: https://www.ibm.com/blockchain/solutions. So I thought they should hire or still hiring blockchain developers to cope up with the demand on this latest technology.

Most in the top 10 are pretty obvious, because those are involved in crypto sphere.

Thank you all for your comments here and also for clarification regarding images. Also interesting to find out about the activity windows system.

DdmrDdmr regarding PWC that's a good point. It may be due to them not hiring blockchain developers in August and July, or them not using the job boards we've been parsing. Will look into this to understand the underlying issue and improve taking this into account when crunching data for September stats.

I'm also working on some geographical distribution reports, for example focusing on California data now. It's interesting to see how some areas have spikes in the numbers of blockchain developers relative to population size.

Slightly surprised I didn’t see any of the big consultancy firms there. PWC is I believe the one who has most Blockchain developers working for them out of the big consultancy firms. I do understand though that you are focused here on a specific month (August 2019), and that I am considering information that talks about current total amount of hired-hands on blockchain development, thus a different timeframe.

All you need to do is get a few more (decent) posts in before the end of the next activity windows (one may do it, but I’d do a few more just incase any are deleted). The next activity window kicks-in on the eleventh of September if this calendar is correct: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12saLhlUoqIdairxzuSPu6EYGrt7FN2lOstO1yDjCEbA/edit#gid=1012758442 (originated here: FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit).

Hi all,

we're crunching some data since July on blockchain developers hiring.

I thought that might be a good indication (at least one of the data points) on how blockchain economy is doing generally.
The more developers are being hired, the more activity in the jobs space, the better the economy is. Especially important post hype/bubble to see when it rebounds.

According to our research, TOP-10 companies hiring blockchain developers are:

Coinbase
Gemini
ConsenSys
Blockchain
OpenCrowd
Ripple
Aptoide
Rondo
JAAK
Decentralised Vision

TOP-25 cities hiring blockchain developers:

Washington
Singapore
San Francisco (+1 vs July)
London (-1)
New York
Jakarta
Berlin
Kuala Lumpur
Arlington
Boston
Afton (+1)
Reston (+1)
Bengaluru (+5)
Tulsa (+1)
Manila (-1)
Toronto (new in top-25)
Paris (-1)
McLean (-1)
Alexandria
กทม (+4)
Warsaw (-1)
Tysons (-1)
Mumbai (new in top-25)
Mountain View (-2)
Amsterdam (-2)

Not sure how to add images here, got some infographics there as well.
