GameFi Job Search Guide: From Axie to Sandbox, Comprehensive Analysis of Blockchain Game Recruitment

Hi everyone, I'm COCO, it's been a while~

To be honest, while organizing GameFi job data at a café last week, I suddenly realized the demand for recruitment in this field is much stronger than I imagined. Did you know? As I'm writing this article, there are already 23 MyJob.one positions for blockchain gaming companies urgently recruiting...

Thinking back, last year at this time, everyone was still debating whether Axie Infinity's recruitment was just a fleeting trend. Now, Illuvium's recruitment demand has quadrupled. Hmm, let's slowly delve into this topic.

Slack Messages at 2 AM

Last month, on a certain late night, I was organizing the job descriptions for Sandbox recruitment when a message popped up in the group: "Urgently need blockchain developers familiar with Unity who can handle cross-timezone collaboration." Later I thought, perhaps this reflects the current state of the GameFi industry—always oscillating between excitement and anxiety.

Actually, in the cases I've handled on MyJob.one, Decentraland recruitment needs often fall into three categories:

1. Smart contract development (average annual salary $140k+)
2. 3D scene designers (80% remote positions)
3. Community management (DAO experience is a plus)

The Stories Hidden Behind Salaries

Remember that candidate who said blockchain gaming is like "dancing with chains"—creating fun within technical limitations. Later, I discovered that for Axie Infinity recruitment, understanding the player community in the Philippines was actually more important than mastering Solidity.

While analyzing Illuvium recruitment data, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: they offered narrative designers 30% higher salaries than traditional game companies, but required them to be able to write plotlines that align with DeFi economic models...

The Dilemmas of Metaverse Architects

Once, while having coffee with the Sandbox recruitment team, their manager complained: "Now finding talent who understands both voxel modeling and NFT scarcity design is harder than finding a partner." Hmm, I was a bit puzzled until I saw their latest land plot auction results.

Later, at a conference in Berlin, I met a Decentraland recruitment specialist who had over 200 architect resumes in her phone, but fewer than 10 met the requirements: "They either don't understand on-chain coordinate systems, or think virtual land valuation is too abstract..."

Authentic Advice for Job Seekers

To be honest, the average interview cycle for GameFi positions on MyJob.one is now 42 days—60% longer than in traditional gaming. Some candidates anxiously asked me if the market was cooling down, but actually... it's the opposite.

Like what I saw yesterday in the Slack group: "Daily operations at a company recruiting for Axie Infinity"

On Tuesday's morning meeting, halfway through, the product manager suddenly asked: "Can we visualize player play-to-earn behaviors?" I stared at the latte art in my cup and got lost in thought—wasn't treating the GameFi economic system like a coffee machine? Injecting liquidity is like adding milk foam, transaction friction is the residue on the cup wall...

• Axie Infinity recruitment tests SLP economic models with pancake摊煎饼 business questions
• Illuvium recruitment battle planners must submit Tokenomics-inspired Pokémon proposals
• All blockchain game positions require "creativity that thrives even in bear markets"

When Traditional Game People Meet Web3

Last week, I interviewed a producer from EA. When he mentioned "player retention rates," he unconsciously used Web2 metrics, and the entire room suddenly fell silent... Later, he joined a subsidiary of Sandbox recruitment, and now posts daily screenshots of "Today's Landlord Earnings" on Slack.

To be honest, the backend data from MyJob.one shows that among Decentraland recruitment candidates transitioning from traditional gaming, the average adaptation period is 3 months. The most common reason for leaving is: "Can't understand why landscape design needs to be implemented as smart contracts..."

Midnight Notes for Job Seekers

While organizing these materials at midnight, a garbage truck just passed by my window. Suddenly, the GameFi workplace feels like its hydraulic system—some people compress real-world anxiety, others load virtual dreams. If you're currently looking at positions on MyJob.one:

1. Blockchain game art positions should prepare verifiable NFT portfolios
2. Axie Infinity recruitment community managers prefer multilingual argumentation masters
3. Illuvium recruitment testers must write automated play-to-earn scripts
4. All positions will inevitably include "explain how gas fee fluctuations affect gameplay experience" as a required question
