At Improbable, we believe that the next revolution in entertainment and society will come from massive virtual worlds. They will create new economies and opportunities globally, changing not just how we play, but how we work and relate to each other. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to build the next generation of technologies for online multi-user games and simulations.

At Improbable, you are surrounded by people who want to improve everything and everyone around them, and who compel you to improve yourself. We’re motivated by the fulfilment of solving hard problems to achieve something profound and transformative.

Venture Builder

Improbable is a Venture Builder. We are working with leaders to create businesses in AI transformation, the metaverse and web3. We both create businesses from scratch and invest in existing businesses. Our central services teams work with ventures to help them achieve success; including early stage prototyping and initial product development where this role sits.

Your Mission

As a Principal web3 Solidity Engineer at Improbable, you will work with web3 Ventures to help them get to market faster. You will work with their leadership team to design, prototype, and launch initial versions of their dApps. This is a hands-on, strategic role where you will collaborate with executives, working all the way from identifying customer problems to shipping real dApps used in the community.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Architect, build, launch, and maintain Dapps - from concept to being used by the community
  • Build on-chain logic in smart contracts, and connect them to web front-ends to be used by crypto natives and novices
  • Work with business leads to define the product roadmap, help set the vision and strategy for the venture, act as a sounding board for venture leadership
  • Work closely with the Somnia Blockchain team and provide product feedback to their developers

Why You’re Made For This

We are seeking an experienced Web3 Engineer with experience on EVM-based smart contracts in Solidity, Web3 JS/TS libraries for contract interactions with frontend and backend systems, and experience with The Graph.

You have strong hands-on skills with the blockchain development framework Foundry.

You’ve shipped web apps built with TypeScript (preferably React, Next.js) and used wagmi hooks for smart contract integrations.

You have a deep understanding of blockchain architecture, token standards (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155), and non-standard versions (e.g., USDC).

Knowledge of Solidity best practices and common security vulnerabilities.

You thrive when solving complex, ambiguous problems and enjoy working across disciplines to find the best solutions.

You are passionate about the web3 community.

Optional Skills

Experience with The Graph protocol for creating Subgraphs, designing smart contracts for optimal indexability, DeFi protocols like Uniswap and AAVE, Solidity fuzz testing, Slither, Mithril, and Hardhat testing framework are helpful but not essential.

We welcome applications from candidates with valuable experience, even if they do not meet every listed requirement. If you identify with the team and mission, please apply.

How Many Blockchain Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Blockchain Job?

If you are navigating the blockchain job market, it can feel like you need to master an entire tech stack before you’re even ready to apply. One job advert mentions Solidity, another talks about Hyperledger Fabric, another lists MetaMask, Hardhat, Git, Truffle, and Web3.js — and that’s before you scroll past three LinkedIn posts about “top blockchain skills for 2026.” It’s no wonder job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth that many hiring managers quietly agree on: 👉 You don’t need to know every blockchain tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones for the role you’re targeting — and how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but context and capability matter more. This guide breaks down exactly how many blockchain tools you need to learn, which ones matter for specific roles, and how to position what you know so hiring managers take notice.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Blockchain Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers in blockchain tech do not start by reading every line of your CV. They scan for credibility, clarity and relevance, and they make an early judgement about whether you can solve real problems in a cutting-edge, evolving landscape. In blockchain and distributed ledger roles—whether in core protocol teams, smart contract development, Web3 infrastructure, compliance/security, or product-focused positions—the strongest applications make the right signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This in-depth guide explains exactly what hiring managers in UK blockchain jobs look for first, how they assess CVs, cover letters and portfolios, and why strong candidates sometimes get overlooked. Use it as a practical checklist before you apply for roles on www.blockchainjobs.uk

The Skills Gap in Blockchain Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Blockchain technology has moved far beyond cryptocurrency headlines. Across finance, supply chains, cybersecurity, gaming, digital identity, healthcare, and public infrastructure, distributed ledger technology is being explored, tested and deployed at scale. Yet despite growing adoption, blockchain employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: a severe shortage of job-ready talent. Graduates emerge with theoretical knowledge, computer science fundamentals, or an interest in decentralisation—but struggle to meet the practical demands of blockchain roles. Vacancies remain open. Startups compete aggressively for experienced hires. Employers spend months searching for candidates who can contribute from day one. The issue is not intelligence. It is not motivation. It is not even demand. The problem is a widening skills gap between blockchain education and real blockchain jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what UK employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in blockchain.
