Demand for developers and engineers with blockchain skills has risen 517% over the last 12 months, a survey of almost 100,000 developers has found.
Moreover, the salaries offered for blockchain engineering roles are among the highest for developers in London, averaging $89,000 per annum (approximately £68,000). This is second only to embedded engineers, who earn an average of $90,000 (£71,000).
Demand for engineers with security expertise grew the second quickest during 2018, rising by 132%, likely due to the rising number of data breaches and public data privacy concerns, according to recruitment firm Hired.
