One alternative wage model for developers working on token platforms follows a percentage of the funds raised in the initial coin sale (ICO) or security token offering (STO). For example, an ethereum-based ERC20 token code contract can cost up to $100k to develop in addition to an agreed percentage of the final raised funds balance.

Fee-plus models are often attractive to freelance software engineers who wish to work closely on a project that they are passionate about to generate a vested interest in the success of the platform.

Where engineers develop the core program of the blockchain application, security token, or other assets, a full stack developer works to integrate the software into the front-of-house to make the user interface (UI) accessible and industry-appropriate. A full-stack developer’s key role focuses on creating, testing, and maintaining the UI and linking it in a structurally sound manner with back-end operations.

Knowledge and experience of both front-end and back-end projects is an advantage for prospective full-stack developers, especially since potential employers are looking for skills in relational and nonrelational databases, hardware expertise and quality assurance. Proficiency in Javascript, C++, HTML and PHP programming are essential.

A quick search on Simply Hired or a similar career site will show the latest salaries and wages for full stack developer roles, ranging from $80,000 to $150,000 plus a year, at the time of writing.

Perhaps in-line with the democratizing ethos of blockchain applications, a lot of blockchain-based technology is taking a much more consumer-oriented approach to their sales and marketing, with the customer experience (CX) often at the core of their strategy.

Community managers handle the brand in relation to its users. This ranges from community engagement on social media and via direct channels (Telegram, for instance), to online chat, know-your-customer (KYC), right through to feedback, support, and customer satisfaction.

By using online community outreach and engagement skills coupled with web-based analytics, community managers actively participate in and interact with users and customers. Within the blockchain niche, this mainly occurs on specific social media platforms and niche forums, such as Telegram, Bitcointalk, and Steemit.

Community managers are responsible for ensuring that the brand voice and content message is consistent and effectively communicated through the user-journey. They are also responsible for ensuring that feedback, concerns, and bugs are passed along to the appropriate back-office staff as well.

The average salary for community managers is between $46,000 and $54,000, following research by Sprout Social. However, community managers are often compensated an agreed fixed-fee for a specific project.

Compliance officers check that key business operations are in conformance with financial and legal regulations specific to their region and internationally.

Due to the relatively young nature of the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries, legal and financial conformance are essential to ensure innovative projects and disruptive platforms are fully compliant with regional and international legislation and regulations, lest they run into potential hurdles somewhere down the line.

The relative state of flux surrounding cryptoasset values, and the varying legislation across global regions, coupled with the lack of an international consensus on regulation means compliance officers need to keep up with the latest news plus financial and legal leanings in their bid to stay ahead of the curve.

Indeed, a key responsibility of compliance officers is to keep track of pending legislation and ensure operations stay up-to-date to cooperate with the latest state rulings, while at the same time advising project stakeholders and key personnel on how best to proceed.
