The world of digital assets is accelerating in speed, magnitude, and complexity, opening the door to new ways for leveraging the blockchain. Fireblocks’ platform and network provide the simplest and most secure way for companies to work with digital assets and it trusted by some of the largest financial institutions, banks, globally-recognized brands, and Web3 companies in the world, including BNY Mellon, BNP Paribas, ANZ Bank, Revolut, and thousands more.

About Fireblocks

Fireblocks is the institutional standard for digital asset security and settlement. We enable banks, fintechs, and exchanges—like BNY Mellon, Revolut, and ANZ—to securely navigate the blockchain economy. Our platform and network provide the simplest and most secure way for companies to work with digital assets.

The Mission: Quality

TheFinancial Apps unit builds the critical infrastructure that connects institutions to the digital asset economy. Our products cover everything from staking and yield to on-ramps, exchange integrations, and Web3 connectivity (e.g WalletConnect).

We are transitioning from manual QA to a high-velocity, automation-first culture. We need someone who treats quality as a holistic product challenge, utilizing AI to move faster and ensuring our financial flows are rock-solid.

What You’ll Do

  • Holistic Quality Ownership: You own the quality of the product end-to-end. You don’t just test against a spec; you analyze the spec, find the logical gaps, and suggest improvements to ensure a better final product.
  • AI-Powered Velocity: You leverage AI agents (e.g., Claude Code) to accelerate your workflow, automate test coverage, and ship faster without sacrificing depth.
  • Deep-Dive Analysis: You are comfortable digging into logs and monitoring tools (Datadog/Sentry) to understand why something broke. You aren't afraid to get your hands dirty in the backend to find the root cause.
  • Automation at Scale: Apply your experience to build and maintain automation across both backend APIs and frontend interfaces in a very fast-paced environment.
  • Product Partnership: You don't see yourself as "just a tester." You are an engineer with a product mindset who actively works to improve the systems you are checking.

Who You Are

  • Experienced: 3+ years of building automation across the full stack (Frontend & Backend) preferably with experience inTypeScript.
  • Crypto-Technical: You have a strong grasp of blockchain fundamentals, the end-to-end transaction lifecycle, and the logic behind DeFi protocols like staking and bridging.
  • AI-Fluent: You already use AI tools to force-multiply your output and analyze complex errors more efficiently.
  • Adaptive: You have the ability to learn multiple domains quickly and thrive in a fast-paced environment that moves at the speed of crypto.
  • Analytical: When you see an error, your first instinct is to look at the logs and find the "why."

Fireblocks' mission is to enable every business to easily and securely access digital assets and cryptocurrencies. In order to do that, we strongly believe our workforce should be as diverse as our clients, and this is why we embrace diversity and inclusion in all its forms.

Where to Advertise Blockchain Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise blockchain jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach Web3, smart contract and protocol engineers. The candidate pool is global in outlook but concentrated in specific communities — protocol engineers, smart contract developers, DeFi specialists and Web3 product leaders who move between roles through networks and community channels as much as traditional job boards. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that blockchain professionals expect. Specialist platforms, crypto-native communities and targeted outreach each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by BlockchainJobs.uk, covers where to advertise blockchain roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Blockchain Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Blockchain Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the Web3, DeFi and tokenisation hiring trends shaping UK blockchain careers over the next three years. Blockchain is creating jobs in places nobody predicted three years ago. What began as infrastructure for cryptocurrency is now embedded in financial services, supply chain management, digital identity, healthcare records, and the emerging architecture of tokenised assets. The roles being hired for today bear little resemblance to the developer-heavy, crypto-native job adverts that defined the sector's early years. For job seekers, this is both the complexity and the opportunity of building a blockchain career in 2026. The sector has matured beyond its speculative phase and into serious institutional adoption — and that shift has fundamentally changed what employers are looking for, where the jobs are, and which skills command a premium. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years aren't necessarily those who got in earliest or who can recite the Bitcoin whitepaper from memory. They're the ones who understand where enterprise blockchain, decentralised finance, digital assets regulation, and Web3 infrastructure are heading — and who are building their skills accordingly. This article breaks down what the UK blockchain jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the next wave rather than behind it.
