The median annual pay for blockchain developers is also considerably higher than that of other software developers at US$132,000. Experienced developers earn even more – US$176,000 – especially when they change employers.



TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN



In the top bracket of IT jobs, the only other positions enjoying higher pay than blockchain developers were data scientists, database managers, ERP data architects, and ERP data engineers. Only ERP data engineers and database managers out-earned blockchain developers in the second quartile while in the third quartile only ERP data engineers earned more than blockchain developers.

This is not the first survey to demonstrate the enviable position that blockchain developers occupy in the tech sector food chain. Last year in October, CCN reported that blockchain engineers in the United States were earning almost as much as artificial intelligence specialists, another field that is seeing increased demand for top talent:



[T]he average pay for blockchain engineers in the United States is between US$150,000 and US$175,000 making it comparable to what developers who specialize in another high-demand field, artificial intelligence, make. The two fields now currently offer the highest-earning specialized engineering roles. Typical software engineers make an average of US$135,000.



GROWING DEMAND



At the time, the competitive pay that was being offered to blockchain developers was attributed to the increased demand for talent in the field with tech sector recruitment firm, Hired, indicating then that job postings had risen by 400%. Jobs site Glassdoor also disclosed last year that job postings related to cryptocurrencies and distributed ledger technology had risen by 300%.



Last month professional networking site LinkedIn reported that the biggest growing field on its platform in 2018 was blockchain development. Specifically, the Microsoft-owned social media firm revealed that job listings for software engineers with the capacity to develop distributed ledgers using peer-to-peer technology had increased by 33 times in 2018.
