Hire blockchain engineers in the UK
Blockchain Jobs is the UK board for people who build on distributed ledgers: smart-contract and protocol engineers, cryptographers, and the product and security people around them. Advertise a role to them directly and pay a fixed price once.
- What it costs
- From £99 for a 30-day listing. Pay once — no subscription, no recruiter fee, no percentage of salary.
- How fast it goes live
- One working day. A person reads every advert before it publishes, usually within a couple of hours.
- Who reads it
- Solidity and Rust engineers, protocol and infrastructure people, applied cryptographers and smart-contract auditors — a market that has been through two cycles and knows the difference between a project and a company. Most are employed and read this board to see who is still building.
- What it is not
- A CV database you rent, or an agency taking a fee on the hire. You post the role; candidates come to you.

There are three ways to fill a Blockchain role. We are honest about being one of them.
Blockchain hiring carries a credibility problem the other routes cannot solve for you: candidates have seen projects vanish, and they read an advert for signs the company is real. Here is the short version, including where a board is the wrong tool.
A specialist board
You are hereFixed, from £99 per role
You know roughly who you want, the salary is competitive, and you want the applications to land in your own inbox or ATS.
You need someone headhunted out of a named competitor, or the role is confidential.
A generalist platform
Per-click or per-slot, unbounded
Volume roles where reach matters more than fit, and hiring for functions outside engineering at the same time.
Protocol and smart-contract roles. A generalist site returns web developers who have deployed a token once, and the engineer who has audited a contract holding real value is one CV in many.
A recruitment agency
Typically 15–25% of first-year salary
Protocol leads and cryptography researchers, where the pool is small and international and people are approached rather than advertised to.
Roles you can attract directly. On a £90k salary the fee is most of a hiring budget.
Who actually reads this board
A smaller audience than a generalist site, and a sceptical one. People arrive here because they build on-chain systems for a living and want to see who is hiring for Solidity, Rust, zero-knowledge and infrastructure this month — and whether the advert names a salary, a company and a product rather than a vision.

How the live roles are worked
How the advert reaches them
- Search and Google Jobs
- Every listing is structured for Google Jobs and indexed on the board, so it keeps working for the whole run.
- Saved alerts
- Candidates subscribe to a specialism, a salary floor and a location. Matching roles email out as they publish.
- The weekly digest
- One email, curated, read by people who are not actively applying yet — which is where most senior candidates sit.
- The rest of the network
- Add any of the other fifteen boards for +£75 each. Only worth it where the field genuinely overlaps.

What Blockchain roles pay in the UK
Built from the salaries stated in live adverts on this board, not a survey — the range employers are advertising, and its midpoint.
Blockchain pay is set internationally and often partly in tokens, which is exactly why the sterling band matters: it tells a candidate the company pays in money. Adverts that name the number, and say what any token component is worth today, get answered; adverts that hide it read as a project.
