Web3 Recruitment Market's Top 6 Hot Job Roles: Career Survival Guide from HRBP to App Developer

Hey, we meet again! Honestly, last Friday, when I went through resumes on the MyJob.one backend, I suddenly discovered a quite interesting phenomenon—do you know the difference in the application ratio between Accountant and iOS Engineer positions? It's 5:1!...

Hey, let's catch up again!

To be honest, last Friday while flipping through the MyJob.one backend, I stumbled upon a particularly interesting phenomenon—do you know the ratio difference between Accountant positions and iOS Engineer positions right now? It's a staggering 5:1! My hands were shaking as I held my ice Americano...

Actually, it's not that surprising. Just like the subway rush hour, the talent market in Web3 has its own operational patterns. Today, I want to talk about six particularly hot job roles recently: HRBP positions, Product Engineer positions, Business Development Lead positions, and the two mentioned earlier, plus App Developer positions.

01. First, the most surprising one: Accounting in the Web3 world

Did you know? Last month at a blockchain conference in Singapore, I met a young lady who had switched from the Big Four. She put it this way: 'Traditional financial auditing is like counting already dried fish, while Web3 accounting is like counting fish still swimming in the sea.'...

Accountant positions are actually very popular in the Web3 field, especially those who understand DeFi protocol accounting. I just helped a DEX company recruit someone last week, and the annual salary was directly offered at $120k plus tokens—well, that's about 40% higher than what they earned at the Big Four.

02. The Shape-Shifting HRBP: A Wild Ride

Speaking of HRBP positions, I have an incredibly funny experience. Last year in Berlin, I met a candidate who said he used to work as an HRBP at a FAANG company and now wants to transition to Web3. I asked him about his views on DAO governance, and he replied by asking me: 'Is DAO about using German knives to slice pizza?'

Today's Web3 HRBP really needs to be a multi-armed hero: they must understand smart contract salary distributions (yes, that's automatic execution), manage globally distributed remote teams, and handle various Token vesting issues... Last week, I saw a job posting on MyJob.one that even required 'familiarity with Discord community governance'!

03. Product Engineer: Where Coder Meets Product Manager

Oh, Product Engineer positions—this role really gives me mixed feelings. Last quarter, I interviewed an exceptionally qualified candidate. While he was sketching out the product architecture on the whiteboard, I noticed he was wearing a wedding ring on his left ring finger—do you know what my first thought was? 'This person definitely doesn't accept 996'...

Today's Web3 product engineers really need to be proficient in both Solidity and user experience. Just like the job requirement I saw yesterday in our Slack group: 'Need to be able to write smart contracts in the morning and discuss product roadmaps with the community in the afternoon.' To be honest, this kind of talent is harder to find now than a Bitcoin ETF.

04. The Wild Adventure of Business Development Leaders

Speaking of Business Development Lead positions, I recall a funny incident from last year at the San Francisco airport. While waiting for a flight, I overheard two well-dressed gentlemen discussing: 'How do we sell our L2 solution to traditional enterprises?' The other replied: 'Just tell them it's ten times faster than their ERP system.'

Today's BD roles have some wild requirements: they need to be able to chat about Memecoins with degens in Discord while also presenting to C-level executives in luxury hotels; they need to understand memecoin marketing strategies but also be skilled in serious business model analysis... Last week, a job posting on MyJob.one offered $150k plus 10% commission, and it remained unfilled for two months.

05. The Ice and Fire Saga of iOS Engineers

Oh dear, iOS Engineer positions—I have plenty to say on this. Last year, I helped a wallet company recruit. After interviewing over 20 candidates, I noticed something interesting: many knew SwiftUI, but those who truly understood wallet key management principles... well, maybe just three or four.

Today's Web3 mobile development is like walking a tightrope: you need to ensure AppStore approval (which is as difficult as winning the lottery) while maintaining decentralized functionality; you need to be skilled in native development, and preferably also React Native... The current market rate I saw was: $90k-$130k for three years of experience.

06. App Developer: More Than Just Code

Finally, let's talk about App Developer positions. Yesterday, I overheard a conversation between two developers at a café and it killed me: 'The daily active users of the dApp I'm building don't even reach my cat's Instagram followers.'

Actually, Web3 app development today requires a full-stack mindset: front-end developers need to master libraries like Wagmi/ethers.js, while back-end developers should be familiar with indexing solutions like TheGraph; they need to understand wallet connection processes, and ideally, be able to write smart contracts themselves... Last week, a company on MyJob.one offered $200k to find developers who could build full-chain games—actually, it's not surprising, as this kind of talent is rarer than a unicorn now.

Midnight Ramblings

I've written this far into the early morning hours... Honestly, while compiling this job information, I suddenly realized: the Web3 job market is just like the subway during rush hour—some people are desperately trying to get on board (like those transitioning from traditional finance), others are hesitating about which line to switch to (like current developers considering a job change), and some simply don't know which direction to go...

But regardless, remember this: on MyJob.one, you can always find the latest industry trends. As I often tell candidates: instead of worrying, take action—after all, it's like playing a massive career development RPG!
