How to get a job in crypto & tech
No hack fixes this. But there's a real, repeatable process — and a few honest truths about where the openings actually are — that beats sending the same resume into fifty application black holes.
Start from role, not company
Most people start their search company-first ("I want to work at Coinbase") and only then figure out what role. That's backwards if you actually want to get hired soon. Start from role — what you're actually qualified for and want to do — then look at every company hiring for that role at once, instead of checking fifty individual careers pages one at a time. That's the entire reason an aggregator is useful: role-first search across every company beats company-first search one at a time.
Entry-level and no-experience paths are real, but narrower
If you're breaking in with little or no direct experience, the honest picture: crypto and tech companies do hire entry-level, but the volume is a fraction of mid/senior roles, and it skews toward a handful of functions — support, junior sales/BD, and generalist operations roles hire "no experience" more often than engineering does. Backend and blockchain-engineering roles almost always want at least some shipped project or internship, even a small one. Our entry-level salary data is pulled from real disclosed ranges on live postings, not a survey — worth checking before you negotiate.
If you don't have a portfolio yet, build one narrow, real thing before applying broadly — one deployed project, one open-source contribution, one small freelance gig — rather than a resume that only lists coursework. Hiring managers skim; a single concrete link does more than three bullet points of "familiar with."
Remote is a filter, not a guarantee
Remote-specific listings are real and plentiful in this space, but "remote" often means "remote within a specific country or timezone band," not fully global. Read the location field on the actual posting, not just the word "remote" in the title — plenty of "remote" roles are region-locked for tax/legal reasons, especially at bigger companies. Our remote vs onsite salary breakdown is worth a look too — remote doesn't automatically mean lower pay in this market, but it isn't automatically higher either.
What actually gets read
Every listing on this site links straight to the company's own application page — there's no shortcut around actually applying there. A few things that consistently matter more than people expect: tailoring your first paragraph or summary to the specific role (not a generic objective statement), applying within the first week or two a role is posted rather than waiting, and following up directly if you can find the hiring manager or recruiter rather than only submitting through the form. None of this is a trick — it's just what separates an application that gets opened from one that doesn't.
