Wow! What's Happening in the Web3 Recruitment Market?

Guess what? I just came back from an AMA with an insane GameFi project, and they're desperately hiring for Gameplay Engineer positions! It's fascinating how this project is combining Tetris with DeFi... Wait, I need to take notes! While I'm writing this, I discovered three metaverse projects recruiting for Product Designer roles on Discord.

I just found out that the Web3 recruitment market is like a kaleidoscope! On MyJob.one, there are some super interesting job combinations: a Graphic Designer position for designing Crypto Pets, a Copywriter role for drafting DAO proposals, and even a Cryptographer position to protect NFT security!

Gameplay Engineer: Where Game Meets Blockchain

Insane! A Gameplay Engineer candidate I interviewed last week actually built a complete chain game demo using Unreal Engine. Did you know? High-end GameFi projects are now offering annual salaries of over $150,000 for this kind of talent!

Wait... I just received a message about a project seeking game engineers who can write smart contracts. Wow! This requirement is so interdisciplinary:

  • 5+ years of Unity/Unreal development experience
  • Proficiency in Solidity and Rust
  • Experience with at least 10 popular chain games
  • Own a collection of NFTs is a plus

Isn't this exactly the versatile talent we're looking for? Gameplay Engineer positions are definitely seller's market right now!

Executive Assistant: The New Species in Web3

I just discovered something amazing! Traditional Executive Assistant roles in the Web3 space have completely transformed. Yesterday, I saw a DAO recruitment that requires:

  • Ability to manage both a CEO's calendar and community governance proposals
  • Familiarity with Discord and Telegram management tools
  • Basic smart contract reading skills (at least able to understand transfer functions)
  • Experience with cryptocurrency wallet operations is a plus

This completely redefines what an executive assistant is! On MyJob.one, these positions actually offer 30% higher salaries than traditional roles.

Cryptographer: The Guardian of the Blockchain World

Wow! I just analyzed a Cryptographer requirement that shocked me:

  1. Preference for a cryptography doctorate
  2. Familiarity with zk-SNARKs and zero-knowledge proofs
  3. Experience with actual cryptographic system cracking (legally, of course)
  4. Able to explain complex cryptographic concepts in plain language

Did you know? There are fewer than 1,000 people in the world with these skills! In a private protocol project's Discord, I found out they spent nine months to find the right cryptographer.

Creative Talent's New Frontier: Graphic Designer & Copywriter

Super interesting! The requirements for Graphic Designer positions have evolved to include:

  • Ability to design brand visuals in NFT style
  • Understanding of meme culture and ability to create viral content
  • Basic 3D modeling skills (essential for metaverse projects)
  • Familiarity with mainstream NFT platform image specifications

And Copywriter positions are even crazier:

  • Ability to write copy that makes communities FOMO
  • Mastery of crypto jargon and meme culture
  • Experience writing smart contract documentation (seriously?!)
  • Having a Mirror.xyz blog is a plus

Product Designer: The Bridge Between Reality and Virtuality

I just discovered the most exciting trend! Product Designer roles are undergoing a revolution:

  1. Need to design interfaces usable both in apps and the metaverse
  2. Consider the impact of token economics on user experience
  3. Balance centralized and decentralized feature design
  4. Understand user interaction scenarios with smart contracts

Wow! This is essentially turning designers into superheroes! On MyJob.one, top Web3 projects are offering packages of $200,000+ plus token rewards for senior product designers.

Prediction: The Craziest Recruitment Trends of the Next 6 Months

Wait... let me share my recent predictions:

  • Gameplay Engineer roles will increasingly emphasize on-chain data analysis capabilities
  • Executive Assistant positions will require DAO treasury management experience
  • Cryptographer roles will evolve toward post-quantum cryptography
  • Graphic Designer positions will need to master AI-generated art tools

Super interesting! The pace of change in this industry is just mind-boggling. I'm deciding to research the impact of AI-generated art on design positions next week...
