Blockchain Developer
Since it first hit the scene in 2016, corporate America continues to embrace Blockchain. Originally created for cryptocurrency, Blockchain is a decentralized way to record information digitally. There’s a huge potential for business and a massive demand for developers familiar with the technology.
The business opportunity extends well beyond software development. In fact, the demand for individuals who can harness the business case for Blockchain is greater than the demand for developers. Since Blockchain is such a new field, the talent pool is really limited. Anyone with proficiency in Blockchain, or a willingness to learn, can pursue an exciting and lucrative career as a Blockchain Developer VBO.
