An estimated 1,520 blockchain startup companies are now looking for workers, along with a number of corporations like IBM and Microsoft. As the market continues to grow, more lucrative career options will open up for those who are skilled in the various blockchain technologies.
Here are six of the best blockchain jobs on the horizon, according to the report.

The project manager will be responsible for translating the company's needs into technical language, and the blockchain developers' needs into plain English. They are also tasked with planning and supervising the execution of the blockchain project.
2. Blockchain Developer.Blockchain developers may have the strongest career opportunities in the industry right now.
