    What should I expect in a junior blockchain developer interview? I’m applying for my first blockchain dev job and want to know how these interviews work.

    Will they test me with coding questions, or focus on blockchain fundamentals? Should I prepare to write smart contracts on a whiteboard or debug algorithms quickly?

    I’m a recent CS grad with a few blockchain hackathon wins. I’ve led small teams, but do interviewers care about soft skills if my coding isn’t perfect?

    When I share my GitHub, will they just scan it or ask for details about my code?

    What sets apart a strong junior blockchain developer candidate? If you’ve been through this or interviewed others, please share your experience.

    I want to be ready and know what matters most. Thanks!

    The typical process for a junior blockchain developer interview focuses on both coding skills and blockchain fundamentals, with a significant emphasis on your ability to solve practical problems. Expect technical tests or coding challenges that assess your proficiency in smart contract development (e.g., Solidity for Ethereum), familiarity with blockchain architecture, and debugging skills.

    The process usually starts with a screening round, covering your technical foundations, including data structures, algorithms, and core blockchain concepts like consensus mechanisms and token standards (ERC-20, ERC-721). This may be followed by hands-on coding assignments to build or audit a simple smart contract or to solve blockchain-specific problems like gas optimization or transaction handling.

    Your hackathon experience will be a strong advantage if you can articulate the technical challenges you solved and demonstrate a collaborative approach. While technical expertise is key, soft skills like problem-solving, communication, and adaptability are often evaluated in behavioral interviews, as blockchain development requires cross-functional collaboration.

    A blockchain developer interview evaluates your coding skills, blockchain knowledge, project experience, and teamwork ability. As a hiring manager, I structure the process into three main steps:

    Technical Assessment: You will solve coding challenges related to blockchain, such as writing or debugging smart contracts, implementing algorithms, or handling blockchain-specific tasks. Project Review: I will ask about your past projects, including your hackathon wins, to assess how you solve real-world problems and contribute to outcomes. Focus on your role, the challenges you addressed, and the results you achieved. Soft Skills Evaluation: Collaboration and communication matter. Blockchain development requires teamwork and the ability to explain complex ideas clearly. Your hackathon success demonstrates creativity and initiative. Highlight these as proof of your passion and ability to add value to blockchain projects.
