14 mins to read Hey everyone, I'm COCO～ The sunlight in the café today is especially nice, reminding me of the job stories I saw last week on MyJob.one. To be honest, sometimes I feel like the recruitment market in our Web3 industry is like the weather in this season—sunny one moment, and suddenly rainy the next.
Oh, I know many of you are anxious about the **Infrastructure Engineer position** or the **Quantitative Trader position**, just like the latte in my hand—calm on the surface, hiding so many layers underneath...
1. Technical Roles That We Love and Hate
Did you know? Last week, I saw an interesting phenomenon in our Slack group: three different DAOs were simultaneously hiring for the **Technical Services Engineer position**. My reaction was—uh? When did this position become so popular?
Thinking it over, it's not surprising. Web3 projects are now placing more emphasis on user experience than before; it's no longer the early days where "functionality was enough."
- **Infrastructure Engineer** average salary range: $120,000–$180,000 (remote)
- Top three essential skills: Distributed systems, Blockchain protocols, Cloud architecture
- Often overlooked requirement: Psychological resilience during troubleshooting
Oh, and speaking of **Infrastructure Engineer positions**, I recall a real case. Last month, a candidate told me that during an interview, he was asked a particularly interesting question: "If you were to design a blockchain node that never goes down, how would you do it?"
2. Opportunities and Challenges in Management Roles
To be honest, when I first saw Web3 companies hiring for **General Manager positions**, I was a bit confused. It's not what we traditionally understand as a GM...
Later, at the Web3 summit in Berlin, I finally got it. These **General Managers** are more like "ecosystem gardeners," handling:
- The delicate balance of community governance
- Aligning technical roadmaps with business objectives
- The challenge of coordinating distributed global teams
Did you know? What's most valued for these roles isn't traditional management experience, but...
3. The Renaissance of Marketing and Sales Roles
Speaking of **Marketing Lead positions**, I need a drink... because changes in this field are happening so rapidly! Last quarter's hot NFT marketing strategy might be completely irrelevant this quarter.
The excellent **Marketing Leads** I've encountered all share a common trait: they're as sensitive to market trends as cryptocurrency traders...
And what about **Sales Development Representative positions**? Ah, the name is a bit misleading. What they do goes far beyond "sales development"...
- Weird skills required: Discord community management, meme creation, Tokenomics basics
- Most common interview questions: "How do you prove your work drives on-chain growth?"
- Changes in compensation: Base salary is decreasing, while token incentives are becoming more complex
4. The Beauty and Sorrow of Quantitative Trading
To be honest, every time I see a description for **Quantitative Trader positions**, I think of that candidate who messaged me at 3 AM...
He said, "COCO, I've been doing quantitative work for three years, but the volatility in Web3 has made me question my life." I replied, "Dear, that means you're starting to understand this market."
Did you know? The biggest difference between true Web3 quantitative trading and traditional financial markets is...
5. My Three Genuine Pieces of Advice
Ah, having written all this, what I really want to say is...
- Don't let job titles limit you: Many Web3 roles have actual responsibilities that will surprise you
- Focus on long-term value rather than short-term trends: I've seen too many people lost in the chase of the latest hype
- Keep learning but don't get anxious: The half-life of this industry is shorter than you think
Oh, and if you're looking at opportunities on MyJob.one, remember to refresh the page often. Good Web3 positions are like subways—they come infrequently, and missing one means waiting a long time...
