17 mins to read Midnight Code and Morning Reflections on Hiring
Frankly, while debugging the Solo Web3 Dev Wallet Auth system last night, I suddenly realized that the complexity of the current Web3 hiring market is akin to optimizing smart contract gas fees. Seriously, this industry changes too fast. I remember back in 2017, being able to write an ERC-20 contract was considered a genius. Now? Investor Relations / Fundraising – Web3 Hiring, Performance Marketer (Meta, Google, X) Hiring, NFT Minting experts... the demands are all over the map.
The Rise of Investor Relations and Fundraising Roles
To be honest, I've seen an increasing number of Investor Relations / Fundraising – Web3 Hiring listings on MyJob.one lately. It suddenly occurred to me, isn't this like the blockchain version of "sales engineers"? They need to understand technical jargon to pitch to VCs and also be skilled in building DeFi models to calculate TVL. Wait, am I being too blunt?
From a technical perspective, these talents are like precompiled contracts in EVM—they need high performance in specific scenarios. They need to:
- Mastery tokenomics design (like debugging gas fees)
- Be familiar with regulatory compliance frameworks (similar to smart contract security audits)
- Have connections in traditional finance (like the node network of a mainnet)
Performance Marketing's New Battleground
At 3 AM, staring at the backend data of MyJob.one, I noticed that Performance Marketer (Meta, Google, X) Hiring demand has increased by 300% year-over-year. This reminded me of the A/B testing I did when optimizing DEX frontends—aren't today's marketing experts essentially routing traffic in the off-chain world?
Suddenly, I had an idea: perhaps I should suggest to job seekers to:
- Treat UTM parameters like transaction hashes for tracking
- Analyze CPC with the mindset of analyzing on-chain transaction fees
- Imagine conversion funnels as cross-chain bridge transfer losses
The Identity Verification Dilemma for Solo Developers
While debugging the Solo Web3 Dev Wallet Auth system, my third cup of coffee had long gone cold. This reminded me of several candidates I interviewed recently—despite their strong technical skills, they stumbled during the identity verification process. It's like using an EOA account to interact with a contract but forgetting to grant authorization—how tragic.
The Art and Science of NFT Minting
When I saw the job requirements for NFT Minting, I suddenly thought of breakfast frying eggs—overcooked becomes ERC-721, just right is ERC-1155. Today's NFT engineers need to be versatile:
- Understand smart contract development (Solidity basics)
- Be skilled in IPFS storage configuration (distributed file system version)
- Grasp generative art algorithms (creative programming special edition)
Payment Giants' Web3 Layout
The news that Stripe is hiring Web3 talent made the trending list. It's as disruptive as Uniswap suddenly supporting credit card payments. From a technical debt perspective, they need to solve:
- Instant fiat-crypto exchange (stablecoin bridge?)
- KYC/AML compliance (zk-proof privacy solutions?)
- Web3 transformation of global payment networks (Layer2 solutions?)
The Dual-Life Business Development Manager
When handling Business Development Manager Hiring requests, I always think of intermediary contracts—standardized external interfaces while maintaining upgradable internal logic. These talents should:
- Be able to write partnership proposals (human-readable version)
- Know how to read smart contracts (machine-executable version)
- Understand legal compliance across different jurisdictions (legally interpretable version)
The Lisbon Social Media Wizard
When I saw the Web3 Social Media Manager - Lisbon based job posting, I suddenly understood why Portugal has become a hotspot for Web3—like finding a sidechain with low gas fees. The job requirements are quite magical:
- Need to be skilled at posting memes (basic community operations)
- Understand DAO governance (advanced decentralized version)
- Must adapt to the European time zone (geographically constrained version)
The Golden Age of Content Creators
The surge in Web3 Content Writer job demand reminds me of my early days writing technical documentation. Today's Web3 writers need to:
- Translate whitepapers into plain language (enhance readability)
- Package project highlights into stories (narrative economics)
- Present complex concepts through visuals (user education)
Reflections on the Smart Contractification of the Hiring Market
Having finished writing this article at dawn, I had a wild idea: perhaps future recruitment agreements should be deployed on-chain? Job seekers' skills could become SBTs (soulbound tokens), while companies' needs could be written as composable smart contracts... Wait, am I falling into technical obsession again? Seriously, regardless of technological changes, the efficient matching of talent and opportunities has always been the core value that MyJob.one strives for.
