No Rally? No Problem. Bitcoin Companies Are Still Hiring, Says Bitvocation

The Market Slows? The Mission Doesn’t.

Building within the Bitcoin ecosystem isn't contingent on market peaks; in fact, a period of consolidation can offer an opportune entry point.

March 2025 wasn’t a headline month for crypto. Bitcoin prices dipped. Altcoin volumes shrank. But behind the price charts, the hiring pulse stayed strong—especially in corners of the ecosystem built around mission, not momentum. According to Bitvocation’s latest report, companies working only on Bitcoin continued to hire steadily, even as the broader market cooled.

For those considering entering the Bitcoin space, the data suggests a clear answer: the demand for talent remains strong.

Who’s Hiring — and Why It Matters to You

Bitvocation's data reveals a robust 141 Bitcoin-related job postings in March, indicating a healthy demand rather than a market contraction. 

More than half of these roles (52%) came from Bitcoin-only companies: startups and organizations that work exclusively on the Bitcoin protocol and ecosystem.

These aren’t general crypto firms hedging their bets. They’re laser-focused on Bitcoin, its ethos, and its mission. And they’re looking for people who align.

Why this matters: If you’ve felt unsure about applying to “crypto” companies, there’s another lane. One where values like decentralization, privacy, and long-term thinking aren’t marketing slogans—they’re table stakes.

Big Names or Builders? You’ve Got Options.

The job market isn’t just active—it’s diverse.

At the top, companies are hiring aggressively:

• BitDeer (13 open roles), 
• Riot Platforms (10), 
• Lightspark (9). 

BitDeer and Riot are mining giants. Lightspark, co-founded by David Marcus, is building Lightning infrastructure for Bitcoin payments.

But it’s not just the heavyweights. Mid-size players like SatoshiLabs, Braiins, and Xapo Bank are also recruiting. And at the startup end of the spectrum, companies like Geyser, ZEBEDEE, and Galoy are adding new roles across engineering, operations, and growth.

For you: Want the resources and structure of an established org? Start with Lightspark. Looking to build fast with a mission-first team? Fold, Galoy, or Geyser might be your next stop.

Remote-First — Because Bitcoin Is Borderless

Out of 141 jobs posted, exactly half were remote. That’s no surprise—Bitcoin is global by nature, and Bitcoin companies reflect that.

Dig deeper, and the trend is even more pronounced. Bitcoin-only companies lean slightly more toward remote setups (56% of their roles), staying true to Bitcoin’s decentralized ethos. These are companies built for async collaboration and borderless teams.

The upside: You don’t need a visa to work in Bitcoin. Whether you’re in Buenos Aires, Bangalore, or Brno—your next role might be just a GitHub PR away.

No, You Don’t Have to Be a Developer

Here’s the stat that changes everything: 3 out of every 4 Bitcoin jobs in March were non-developer roles.

That’s 106 roles in product, marketing, community, operations, compliance, and more. And again, Bitcoin-only companies are especially active here—posting 57 non-dev roles compared to just 17 for developers.

Reality check: If you thought “you have to code to work in Bitcoin,” think again. 

The ecosystem needs:

• strategists, 
• storytellers, 
• advocates, 
• designers, 
• organizers 

Just as much as it needs engineers.

So What Are They Actually Hiring For?

The titles tell the story. On the dev side, top roles included:

• Senior Software Engineer, 
• Frontend Engineer, 
• Core Lightning Engineer. 

But none of them dominated the charts.

The non-dev side was equally varied: 

• Product Manager, 
• Compliance Officer, 
• Performance Marketing Manager, 
• Account Manager.

A mix of functional needs that suggest Bitcoin companies are scaling, not just building.

Key point: There’s no single “hot” job. Bitcoin hiring is horizontal—and that’s good news if you’ve got a niche skill set.

Junior, Senior, Volunteer? There’s a Place for You

Bitvocation’s March data also introduces seniority levels across postings. The bulk of roles were at mid-level and manager tiers. But entry-level opportunities still appeared—alongside a noticeable presence of unpaid or volunteer roles, especially from Bitcoin-only teams.

What does that tell us? Some companies are early-stage and open-source. Others are structured and hiring for scale.

If you’re just entering the space, unpaid roles or internships might open the door. If you’ve got leadership experience—there are openings that match your skills today.

From El Salvador to Singapore: Bitcoin Jobs Are Global

March’s opportunities weren’t confined to Silicon Valley or the usual crypto hotspots.

• North America remains the leader, especially the U.S.
• Europe showed strength, particularly in Czechia and Gibraltar
• Asia lit up via Singapore
• Latin America saw ongoing demand in El Salvador, reinforcing its position as a Bitcoin-forward jurisdiction

The takeaway: Bitcoin has no HQ. The map is open. You don’t need to relocate—just contribute.

Bitcoin Needs Builders. That Still Means You.

The headlines may focus on market caps and price drops—but the hiring numbers tell a different story.

Bitcoin-only companies are building. They’re hiring across roles, regions, and seniority levels. And they’re doing it with conviction.

Whether you’re an engineer, a marketer, a community lead—or just someone ready to transition into a mission-driven industry—there’s a place for you here.

The market may be chilling. But Bitcoin’s mission doesn’t cool down. If you’ve got the skills—technical or not—the ecosystem has a place for you.
