Need help from a blockchain developer
Post original
I am managing Operations for a small group starting a company that I know will contribute a lot of win-win and good business to the FinTech industry. I cannot publish the specific details of the project due to our NDA agreement, but essentially I need to find a blockchain developer as soon as possible. This can be either an individual or a team of 2/3 people. They would be working with a Senior Business Process Manager from a large software company, who is very experienced in the industry, but lacks the newer knowledge of blockchain tech, in order to develop the technology needed to start this company. My challenge here is that my expertise is in Operations, I make things happen and I keep them running, but I know very little about this magical enigma of the cloud and the chain and the matrix and whatever else the tech bros are doing these days lol. Iâm also limited because I canât really write a clear job description since itâs currently confidential, so I have to find someone willing to give me the time of day so I can connect them with the people who will explain the project clearly. Contract, compensation, roles/tasks, and time will be discussed and negotiated after the initial meeting. âI need a blockchain developer to consult w a senior Microsoft exec on nfts, wrapping and layer2.â - This was requested and itâs really all I have to work with. My question here is does anyone have any recommendations/advice on where I could begin, essentially, âhead huntingâ? Iâm considering starting with LinkedIn and Upwork but Iâm open to suggestions from the people who understand the industry better.   submitted by   /u/imalrightifuralright [link]   [comments]

Hiring blockchain talent for an NDA-bound project is common but slow. Focus first on communities where actual builders hang out: r/ethdev, r/solidity, the Arbitrum and Optimism Discords, and the Ethereum Research forum. Post a high-level tech ask (NFT wrapping + L2) without naming the project; serious devs will reply if the problem sounds interesting. LinkedIn and Upwork work but require heavy filteringâlook for contributors with public GitHub repos or on-chain activity rather than self-proclaimed âWeb3 experts.â Be ready to sign mutual NDAs quickly once someone credible responds; most good developers wonât invest time without some signal of seriousness. Also consider small teams that have already shipped similar infra; they move faster than solo freelancers and usually have process experience working with non-technical execs.
Your situation is pretty typical for pre-product teams. Start in the dev Discords I mentioned publiclyâthey filter noise better than LinkedIn. If the stack really is focused on L2 wrapping and NFTs, I can point you to two small groups that have done comparable work recently. Let me know the rough timeline and whether you need someone who can also handle audits.
