Methodology

Cryptogrind collects open roles daily from the public job boards of 56 crypto companies, plus jobs employers post directly. A role counts from the day it first appears. The figures describe the companies we track, not the whole industry, and skew towards larger exchanges and infrastructure firms.

Salaries use the midpoint of the advertised range, US-dollar listings only, ignoring anything under $25k a year. Remote means the listing is open to remote candidates. Seniority comes from the job title and hubs from the location text, so both are approximate. Monthly snapshots are in the crypto hiring reports.
