  • Yo, fellow devs!

    I’m a Smart Contract Developer with 4 years of experience, currently working with a Layer 1 protocol in Nigeria. Been grinding through job boards looking for remote blockchain roles, but man, it’s rough. Every so-called ‘remote’ job has a catch—US only, Europe preferred, must be in XYZ time zone. Like, why even call it remote then? 😩

    I know I’ve got the skills—Solidity, Rust, smart contract security, the whole package—but it feels like location bias is a bigger hurdle than actual technical ability. If you’ve been in a similar situation, how did you break through?

    • Any legit companies that truly hire globally?

    • Best ways to get noticed despite not being in a “preferred” region?

    • Would collaborating with devs in those regions help?

    Would love to hear from anyone who’s figured this out—how do you actually land a remote job when companies keep shutting the door based on location?

    Totally hear you on this—it's one of the most frustrating parts of "remote" hiring in blockchain. I’ve been there, and honestly, breaking through takes a mix of strategy and persistence.

    First, focus on truly remote-first companies—think DAOs, Web3-native startups, and orgs without HQ-based hiring. Check out CryptoJobsList, UseWeb3, and Twitter (lots of hiring happens there).

    Second, network like crazy—LinkedIn, Discord, Telegram, even contributing to open-source projects. Sometimes, getting referred internally helps bypass the location filter.

    Third, flip the script—if they hesitate over location, lean into your strengths. Show them your track record, audits, or any public contributions. If timezone is an issue, offer overlap hours.

    Lastly, don’t get discouraged. It’s not about if you’ll land a job—it’s when. Keep applying, keep connecting, and the right opportunity will come. You got this!
