Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience designing automated vault logic or keeper networks
  • Skilled in executing and troubleshooting complex on-chain transactions

  • Fully remote - Ideally within 3 hours of CET time-zone
  • UK visa sponsorship available for exceptional candidates
  • Competitive package

How To Apply

Blockchain Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Making a career change into blockchain in your 30s, 40s or 50s isn’t just a Silicon Valley story anymore. In the UK, blockchain technologies are being used across finance, supply chains, government, healthcare, entertainment, identity systems & environmental tracking — and employers here are hiring people with diverse backgrounds, not just fresh graduates or hardcore coders. This guide gives you a practical, no-nonsense UK reality check on blockchain jobs for career switchers, honest about what roles exist, what skills are actually in demand, how long it really takes to retrain, whether age matters & how to position yourself for success. If you’re exploring a mid-life pivot into blockchain, this page is your roadmap.

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.
