Demand for blockchain engineers is ‘through the roof’
There's been a 517% increase in demand for software engineers with blockchain development skills in the past year, according to a new report from job search site Hired.
In its first-ever analysis of only software engineering jobs, Hired found blockchain development skills ranked in the top three job openings in almost every global region. Blockchain skills were followed by security engineers and embedded engineers, which saw 132% and 76% year-over-year growth, respectively.
Mehul Patel, CEO of Hired, said the growth in demand for blockchain skills has gone "through the roof" and tops anything he's ever seen.
