    Are most blockchain developer jobs remote and available worldwide, or do companies prefer local hires? I want to move into blockchain after a career break and see mixed answers online.

    The blockchain career gap seems huge, so I hope remote work helps people like me. Has anyone here landed a blockchain job remotely after a career transition or job gap? Did remote work help you explain your blockchain job gap in interviews?

    Did it affect your job search or salary talks? Please share your real stories or advice.

    Yep, the roles are out there—but “remote” doesn’t always mean “anywhere.” Most Web3 startups really do hire remote, but they still want 4-6 hours of timezone overlap with their core team. From India, EU-based firms feel easiest; some US companies ask devs to work partial EST hours.


    Paperwork matters. If a firm can’t pay contractors in your country or doesn’t use an Employer-of-Record service, they limit hiring to certain regions. Always ask about this up-front.

    Skills beat certificates every single time. Two or three live Solidity/DeFi projects on GitHub land interviews far faster than a badge. Use certs only as résumé spice, not the main dish.


    Rust is hot. Solana, Polkadot, and newer L1s pay a premium for Rust devs. Adding Rust on top of Solidity doubles your market.


    Frontend + Web3 is a killer combo. Teams need devs who can wire smart contracts to slick UIs, not just write on-chain logic.


    How to move next:

    1. Polish one standout DApp: wallet connect, UI, smart contracts, deployed.
    2. Push steady commits—recruiters check GitHub graphs.
    3. Join dev DAO servers and Twitter Spaces; referrals beat cold-applying.
    4. When interviewing, confirm timezone overlap and payment setup early.

    Remote Web3 work is real. Navigate the overlap, show real code, and you’ll snag a gig.

    Building on the point about timezone overlap, I've noticed that even in "remote-first" blockchain teams, there's a subtle preference for developers who can sync up during core business hours—especially when it comes to rapid DeFi launches or protocol upgrades.

    From my own experience, being proactive about your availability (e.g., clearly stating your working hours and flexibility in your application) can set you apart. Has anyone here found that highlighting async communication skills or contributing to global hackathons helped bypass those timezone barriers when landing a remote blockchain developer job?
