Hey Bitcoiners,

Here’s something I noticed recently: some Bitcoin companies don’t post jobs anymore. They hire directly — through their network, by reputation, or when the right person reaches out.

The job never appears. The hire still happens.

In Bitcoin’s network, hidden nodes can’t strengthen the system. Same with talent — if you’re invisible, the companies that need you will never find you.

That’s why we share this data. To make the Bitcoin ecosystem more visible. Companies discover each other. Job seekers spot opportunities — or even just see a company name for the first time. Findability strengthens the network.

September brought some interesting shifts. Let’s see what the data reveals.

How many Bitcoin Jobs were there in September 2025?

148 jobs. 74 Bitcoin-only. 74 Other. Perfect balance.

September just delivered the moment we’ve been tracking toward all year: 🟠 Bitcoin-only companies reached perfect parity at 50% of all job postings — a historic first since we started classification in January.

What Does the Bitcoin Job Market Trend Look Like?

September’s 148 jobs didn’t just recover from August — it exceeded the summer average of 144, showing genuine momentum beyond seasonal bounce.

🟠 Bitcoin-only companies grew 35% month-over-month, while broader Bitcoin companies expanded 25%. That 10-point advantage has held steady for months now.

Year-over-year tells an even stronger story: 51% growth compared to September 2024.

Last year, we saw significant growth from September through November.

Curious if we’ll see the same pattern as Q4 unfolds?

Who’s Hiring?

60 unique companies hired in September — from bigger exchanges with 17 job postings to single-role startups. That diversity matters. Bitcoin is decentralized. Bitcoin is for everyone. The job market should reflect that.

But here’s what you need to remember: these are just the companies that posted jobs. Some hire without ever publishing a role. They find people directly.

That’s why knowing the companies matters. If you don’t know a Bitcoin company exists, you can’t reach out. You can’t become visible to them. The data doesn’t just show you jobs — it shows you which companies are building, growing, and worth knowing about.

Most Jobs Never Get Published!

That’s why we’re focusing on teaching Bitcoin jobseekers “Findability” skills!

Most open roles are filled through networks before they’re ever listed. That’s why building relationships and being findable matters: you want to come to mind before a company even posts a job.

How many Bitcoin jobs are remote?

56% of all Bitcoin jobs were remote in September — up from 45% in August, continuing the steady climb toward distributed work.

Here’s what’s likely driving this: more smaller companies are entering the market, and smaller companies tend to be 🟠 Bitcoin-only. Smaller teams hire remotely by default — it’s how they access talent without geographic constraints.

The split remains clear: Two out of three 🟠 Bitcoin-only job postings are remote (65%), compared to 47% at broader Bitcoin companies.

🟠 Bitcoin-only companies filled 58% of all remote positions despite representing exactly 50% of total jobs. If remote flexibility matters to you, the data keeps pointing the same direction.

Where are the hotspots of Bitcoin opportunities?

Something shifted in September: only 7 countries appeared on the map, down from 10-15 in previous months.

The US dominated with 76 of 96 positions with location (79%), the highest concentration we’ve seen in months. Both Czechia and Switzerland emerged as the #2 hub with 7.

I’m curious what’s behind this geographic tightening. Are companies consolidating around established hubs? Or is something else at play?

One thing for sure, we need to analyze remote vs on-site + hybrid data deeper.

Do you have to be a Developer to work in Bitcoin?

72% of September postings were non-developer roles — down from 82% in August, but this up-and-down pattern has been consistent over the last few months.

Though we can confidently answer - no, you don’t have to be a developer to work in Bitcoin.

The balance within categories stayed nearly perfect.

What roles have been in demand?

Non-dev side: Account Manager led with 4 postings, followed by Business Development Associate (2). Sales and business development roles continue driving growth.

Dev side: Software Engineer topped the list with 5 postings, followed by Frontend Engineer (3) and Senior Software Engineer (3).

One thing I’m watching: AI-specific roles haven’t surged yet, despite AI’s growing presence in Bitcoin companies. They appear now and then, but not at the scale I’d expect. The real AI shift might be hidden in job descriptions rather than titles.

What Level of Talent Are Bitcoin Companies Hiring?

Mid-level roles dominated at 41% of all September postings, what says that Bitcoin companies need professionals — people with proven skills who can deliver immediately. And those professionals need to be findable.

Entry-level opportunities sat at just 7% of postings (11 jobs). But the doors aren’t closed to newcomers — they open for those who’ve built their proof of work and make themselves visible to companies that need them.

That’s what matters: not just having skills, but being findable when opportunity arises.
