Bitvocation’s 2025 Bitcoin jobs report
The hardest roles to fill, according to a survey conducted by Bitvocation, are two-fold. Highly specialized technical positions, such as Bitcoin Core, Lightning, and security-related engineers, are difficult to hire for. Non-technical roles that require translating Bitcoin’s values into product, growth, operations, or communication are also presenting a challenge to employers. The survey also shows employers are looking for candidates with “Bitcoin conviction” as much as technical skills, and most of all “agency”. Strong communication, ownership mindset, and “the ability to operate in small, fast-moving teams” mattered as much as technical skill, according to the report. AI literacy is increasingly expected, but rarely sufficient on its own. Across the board, employers emphasized culture fit, such as “Bitcoin alignment” and “proof-of-work”, which generally means portfolios of projects or general contributions to the industry are more important than traditional credentials alone. Job seekers, on the other hand, reported often feeling ghosted – the solution, according to Bitvocation, is to “relentlessly build your network and create opportunities through relationships, rather than job boards”. Interest in Bitcoin jobs nevertheless remains strong. Bitvocation registered “100% growth in subscribers,” looking for Bitcoin jobs, and over 800,000 views in the Telegram feed, according to the report. About Author
