My Client is looking for a visionary and hands-on Tech Lead to join our fast-growing Web3 platform focused on creator monetization. In this high-impact, strategic role, you’ll take ownership of system design and technical architecture, working closely with the CTO and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver scalable, secure, and user-centric Web3 applications.

  • Evaluate and select appropriate Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchain technologies based on product and business requirements.
  • Design and oversee the development of smart contracts, ensuring security, auditability, and scalability.
  • Collaborate with product, design, and marketing teams to translate user journeys into robust backend and frontend architecture.
  • Guide technical implementation and mentor engineering teams where required.
  • Ensure systems are secure, scalable, and optimized for performance in a distributed environment.
  • Work closely with the CTO on technology strategy, roadmap planning, and scaling engineering efforts.
  • Provide technical leadership during token generation events (TGEs) and contribute to the design and implementation of tokenomics models.
Requirements
  • Proven experience as a Tech Lead, Solutions Architect, or Senior Engineer in a Web3 or blockchain environment.
  • Strong hands-on experience in smart contract development (e.g. Solidity, Vyper), with a portfolio of deployed contracts.
  • Deep understanding of blockchain fundamentals, particularly Layer 1 & Layer 2 protocols.
  • Demonstrated experience in building and launching commercial-facing Web3 products to market.
  • Solid understanding of tokenomics and direct involvement in at least one successful TGE or token launch.
  • Strong grasp of system scalability, distributed infrastructure, and blockchain security best practices.
  • Familiarity with modern cloud architecture (e.g. AWS/GCP) and containerized environments (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes) is a plus.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with non-technical stakeholders.
Nice to Have
  • Experience with DAO governance frameworks or staking mechanisms.
  • Familiarity with zk-rollups, optimistic rollups, or other scaling solutions.
  • Contributions to open-source blockchain projects or protocols.

How to Write a Blockchain Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Blockchain hiring has matured significantly in recent years. What began as a niche, crypto-heavy space has evolved into a broad ecosystem spanning fintech, Web3, decentralised infrastructure, digital identity, supply chains, gaming and enterprise platforms. Yet many blockchain employers face the same challenge: job adverts that attract the wrong candidates. Some roles are overwhelmed with speculative applicants chasing hype. Others fail to attract experienced engineers, protocol specialists or security-focused professionals who quietly dismiss adverts that feel vague or exaggerated. In most cases, the problem is not a lack of talent — it is a lack of clarity in the job advert. Blockchain professionals are technically rigorous, sceptical of buzzwords and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals immaturity, risk and lack of direction. A well-written one signals credibility, seriousness and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a blockchain job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a trustworthy employer in the blockchain ecosystem.

Maths for Blockchain Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are targeting blockchain jobs in the UK whether that is smart contract development, protocol engineering, security auditing, data engineering, blockchain infrastructure or Web3 product roles the maths can feel like a hidden barrier. Job adverts often ask for “strong fundamentals” or “cryptography knowledge” without saying what you actually need day to day. The good news is you do not need a maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most roles you can get job-ready by mastering a small set of practical topics that show up again & again: Modular arithmetic & number theory basics (the backbone of public key cryptography) Probability & simple statistics (security assumptions, block times, risk reasoning) Discrete maths & data structures (Merkle trees, hashing, complexity, graphs) Cryptographic primitives at a “working engineer” level (hashing, signatures, commitments) Basic optimisation thinking (gas cost, performance, trade offs) This guide is written for UK job seekers who want a clear scope, a 6-week plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate the maths into working code.

Neurodiversity in Blockchain Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Blockchain is still a young, fast-changing field. It attracts people who challenge the status quo, question systems & build new ways for value, trust & identity to move around the world. That makes it a natural space for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too chaotic” for a technical career. In reality, the same traits that can make traditional workplaces hard often line up perfectly with blockchain work – from deep focus on protocol details to creative problem-solving in DeFi, DAOs & web3 products. This guide is written for blockchain job seekers in the UK. We will cover: What neurodiversity means in a blockchain context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to specific blockchain roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence during applications & interviews By the end, you will have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in blockchain – & how to turn different thinking into a strategic career advantage.
