Tech Alchemy’s portfolio includes NFT marketplaces that have processed £400 m+ in on‑chain volume, a DeFi derivatives engine handling 25,000 trades per day, and a tokenised real‑estate platform praised by the FCA sandbox team.

The Tech Alchemy careers page lists roles across blockchain engineering, product design, mobile, QA and growth. If you’re itching to turn TypeScript and Solidity into products people actually use, this guide explains how to land a Tech Alchemy blockchain job in 2025.
