Posting this for a friend who has currently some issues with his HN account.

slv20n8• 8 years ago

Thank you for your help ;)

Hi HN, I have been working on this job board for blockchain related tech jobs.

I keep it as simple as possible but i will improve it with some feature (like filters) from feedback that i can gather.

I hope some of you will find this project usefull, and, of course, i'm staying available if you have any suggestions.

Nice work. What is the source for these jobs? And do you scrape the sites or use APIs provided by the sources (if they do). Just curious. Thanks!

slv20n8• 8 years ago

Thank you for your feedback!

For now it's a mix of me posting offer i cand find and business owner publishing for their company.

I have to work more to make the recruiter more aware of my plateform right now.

Interesting to see that most decentralized developer positions require centralized location (no remote) as a requirement :)

slv20n8• 8 years ago

I agree. Lots of company are still not open to full remote working (unfortunatly).

eksemplar3• 8 years ago

Most Blockchain projects heading for actual production aren’t decentralized though.

Maersk may be heading toward running container ownership claims on Blockchain tech, but they will be in full control of the network and the deciding nodes.

So.. you mean developing and using a really shitty, slow and expensive database cluster?

scardine• 8 years ago

Honest question for someone more knowledgeable about the subject than myself: if you are not decentralized (in the authority sense), why would you pick a blockchain-based solution instead of a more traditional distributed database?

Sometimes it looks like people throw blockchain in a project not on technical merits but because they think the buzzword is a VC magnet.

whichcoin• 8 years ago

I agree and it's not just for developers, also non technical roles. But I've found that these crypto startups do actually seem to offer more remote opportunities than your conventional startup. This job board is pretty good in terms of remote crypto jobs https://cryptocurrencyjobs.co/remote/engineering/

Oh cool, I published my first Ethereum app this year + have 2 more on the Kovan testnet. I'll check this out.

Was there a reason you decided to focus on a subset of consensus protocols? I.e, only blockchains v. blockchains, DAGs, hashgraphs, and any new protocols that may appear.

slv20n8• 8 years ago

No there's no reason. It's just that there are more offers currently for blockchain like Ethereum.

Maybe you are right and i should be more open to other consensus protocols.

I will keep that in mind, thank you for you feedback !

Dear developers, stop defining yourself with the technology you work with. Instead define yourself based on what you believe in and stand for.

dominotw• 8 years ago

what if you stand for blockchain or you believe in big data.

bryanph_2• 8 years ago

Then you stand for nothing at all. You can stand for decentralization of financial systems at which point blockchain might become an enabling technology. But you are arbitrarily limiting yourself if you have such a strong focus on a given paradigm.

MasterDisaster• 8 years ago

The salary is for one month or one year?

slv20n8• 8 years ago

It's for a year. But maybe it's not enought clear ! I will keep that in mind.

stuntkite• 8 years ago

Lol. That really cuts to the heart of it.

For swimming in piles of crypto cash and being on the bleeding edge, these cats sure are skinny on the market rate for something super hard with a high expertise requirement coming from a limited pool.

What a joke.

haywirez• 8 years ago

This is useful, but the naming is quite unappealing :)

As a sidenote, I see a lot of "normie" devs (as in formerly working for "big data", "cloud" etc. projects) joining blockchain startups suddenly.

slv20n8• 8 years ago

Thank you for the feedback!

You didn't like the name ?

And yes there are a lot of devs that seem to have interest in blockchain.

paulie_a• 8 years ago

I sort of wonder if those are just devs that could't hack it in whatever technology and constantly leap frog to the "new hotness"

mtnGoat• 8 years ago

frankly, i'm shocked at how low the pay is on many of these. great idea though.

DyslexicAtheist• 8 years ago

Lol "Job in Chain" with these salaries it does come close to slavery so I guess the naming is right ...

What kind of a CTO works for 50K = I guess only those gagging to put "CTO" on their resume? Also exactly how much does an average engineer get when the CTO makes 50K ... Participating in such BS games is fraud against yourself and anyone who receives your CV in future. If you send me your CV and it has blockchain/ethereum/IOTA or similar listed, you'll get shifted to the other pile before you can say proof-of-work.

ksaitor• 8 years ago

What made you want to launch another crypto job list?

Considering that there are a few pretty big players already:

https://cryptojobslist.com - https://coinality.com - https://blocktribe.com - etc…

slv20n8• 8 years ago

Multiple reasons :

I previously had a job board that wasn't targeting any area in particular. It didn't worked so i decide to rebrand it on to focus on blockchain technology because i find that it was hard to find a job in this field.

Regarding other big players, i have to agree. But i wanted to create a very simple job board, for developers by a developer. I still have a lot of work but i hope i will be able to differentiate myself from the other websites.
