Hiring a certified Blockchain developer will probably cost you much more than any other type of developer, as there are not as many qualified professionals in this area. However, this doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to hire an affordable one. But it means you’ll have to broaden your strategy and options, so you might consider hiring a remote developer.
So, how can you find the best Blockchain Developer? First of all, you need to start by asking the right questions.
Many freelancing platforms and outsourcing companies are offering you the moon, stars, and talented Blockchain developers. However, keep in mind that Blockchain projects are not only about building a basic software product. There are other things at stake as Blockchain focuses mostly on all the transactions happening between individuals and business entities.
Trusting your digital ledger to an unknown person who doesn’t work directly for you is not the best decision. Instead, you can work with us. With DistantJob, we can help you find affordable Blockchain Developers. We ensure they have all it takes to perform in your company successfully, but they will work exclusively for you. We don’t manage or have any access to their work. We aim to make the recruitment and hiring process as easy and fast as possible.
Blockchain is a digital ledger that keeps the information about the transactions that occur between people or companies. Anyone at any time can access this ledger to review, coordinate, and verify transactions.
What makes Blockchain different from any other type of database is the way it structures data. It collects information in blocks with specific storage capacities. Once these capacities are filled, the blocks are chained onto the previously filled one, forming a blockchain. Participants in a company can access information and visualize all the blocks making the process more transparent.
Cryptocurrency experts are responsible for creating protocols under which blockchains operate. They design, build, and maintain blockchain architecture. They are capable of building web applications that use blockchain technology as well.
They are two types of Blockchain developers:
A Blockchain Developer’s main responsibilities are:
Every Blockchain Developer needs to have an in-depth understanding of the basic Blockchain concepts and have experience using them. At DistantJob, we always prioritize evaluating candidates through a series of different tests that not only focus on the technical skills but also the personal skills suitable for your company’s culture.
We also focus on running English tests to ensure that all developers can communicate with you effectively. Plus, we guarantee that every candidate will be timezone-friendly with your business hours.
While the must-have skills vary depending on your business needs, these are the essential ones that all skilled Blockchain developers have:
Your new hire needs to be familiar with Blockchain architecture. They need to be able to understand and explain what a ledger means in blockchain and define the four different types of Blockchain architecture (Consortium, private, public, and hybrid).
Cryptography focuses on the study of protocols that prevent unwanted parties from accessing your data. It’s essential for Blockchain developers to understand cryptography as it is a large part of what determines a blockchain and its performance. They should know how to create the code that builds the most secure working system.
Cryptocurrency experts need to understand how to work with data structures as the entire blockchain network consists of data structures. They should be familiar with the different types of data structures (such as graphs, heaps, hash trees, Patricia trees, and Merkle trees).
Although this skill depends on your business needs, if you want to build a web app, ensure that candidates are familiar with web development and know how to integrate them with blockchain technology.
Smart contract is one of the core concepts of blockchain that focuses on how two parties can exchange goods and services without an intermediary. Developers should have an understanding of what Smart Contracts are and also how they enforce business logic.
As Blockchain is a relatively new technology in high demand, developers with experience in it are likely to request high salaries. The price mainly depends on their experience and location, but overall, the average salary in the US is higher than $140K per year.
Here’s a comparison table of the average salary of developers in the U.S:
| Source | Average salary (per year) | Hourly rates |
| Talent.com | $145,000 | $69.71 |
| ZipRecruiter | $154,550 | $74.30 |
| Hired | $143,000 | $68.75 |
Hiring a remote Blockchain developer, for instance, is a cost-effective way to find the talent you need. From Eastern Europe to Latin America, the costs are more accessible than hiring in the United States.
In countries such as Romania, Ukraine, and Poland, the average salary of a Blockchain developer is between $90K and $100K. In Latin America, countries like Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, have Blockchain developers who request approximately yearly salaries of $80K-$90k.
With the rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, more companies are embracing Blockchain technology. These are the main benefits of using Blockchain in your business:
In comparison to other platforms and technologies, Blockchain uses advanced security technology. With its digital signature and transaction encryption system, Blockchain is more secure than other storage systems. Once a transaction is approved, encrypted, and linked to the previous one, it can’t be transformed or changed. Additionally, privacy issues can be addressed on Blockchain by anonymizing personal data and preventing access through a series of permissions.
Traditional pen and paper transactions usually slow down business operations. With Blockchain, it’s possible to automate certain processes, eradicating human-based errors. Transactions are automated with “smart contracts,” which increase the efficiency and speed of every process.
In Blockchain, information is not stored in a single server but across multiple computers. Therefore it’s more difficult for hackers to view data. And there’s no government currency or third parties needed for verifications. Transactions are spread across thousands of computers, and because of this decentralization, data is never lost.
In Blockchain, everyone within the same network has access to the same documentation. All transactions and data are identically recorded in multiple locations. And all transactions are immutable and have a date and time. Members of a network can view the entire history of a transaction which increases transparency and eliminates any possibility of fraud.
