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 time I was checking different cryptocurrencies, I checked of them from Top-100 Coinmarketcap list (and of course I constantly visit and check many other projects, and “Top-200” is definitely not the main criteria for my crypto-interest).
Many of crypto projects, foundations, associations have jobs 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 to 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 the crypto world is very dynamic. So while I’m writing more jobs are created, and some vacancies are closing.
It won’t be a surprise that most of the jobs are for developers. Often companies don’t have open jobs, but a mention on their website 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.
Microtask sites: Anytask and Latium
Anytask comes from Electroneum (ETN) ecosystem and there are multiple categories of freelancers.
Latium did successful ICO several years ago, and unlike many ICOs who disappeared, the site is actively developing.
I think as for now, both sites lack clients and freelancers, but there are jobs and contractors available. It can be a good way for the new crypto adopters, and a nice additional source for outsourcing parts of the work for the crypto companies.
IOHK
IOHK has big amount of job opportunities. Moreover they have “Speculative application” so if you don’t find job that fits your profile, but still think you can work on Cardano development – you can submit your CV.
æternity

So these are projects are only a small part of the whole blockchain ecosystem. But even from this list, you can see that there are jobs, therefore – opportunities for personal growth.
I will update this list from time to time.
I've been looking at microtask websites myself, and so far have tried out Microlancer, Sats 4 Likes, and Lazyfox.io. They all have different strengths, but the one big drawback in all cases is the lack of jobs. 'Micro' jobs by their nature only pay a small amount - so a microtask website either needs to have a lot of jobs listed or have new jobs constantly becoming available in order to be worthwhile.
