Employers
Cryptocurrency specialists work for cryptocurrency exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, etc.), investment banks, commercial banks, fintech companies, cryptocurrency startups, hedge funds, crypto asset management firms (such as Grayscale Investments), tech companies (such as Amazon, Apple, eBay, Facebook, IBM, Oracle, PayPal, Square, Tesla), and large, non-tech companies such as Geico, Uber, and Walmart. Some cryptocurrency specialists choose to work as college educators, while others start their own consulting firms.
Starting Out
Since cryptocurrencies are so new, many people do not have extensive experience in the field. As a result, many people enter the field after first working as software developers, programmers, computer security specialists, and in other tech careers outside the cryptocurrency sector. Some enter the field after obtaining experience in blockchain. Others break into the field directly after graduating from college with an IT degree.
Job leads can be obtained by networking, participating in internships and cooperative education experiences, using the services of tech recruiters (for higher-level positions), creating a profile on LinkedIn, and visiting the career pages of companies that employ cryptocurrency specialists.
