We track job postings at 67 major crypto companies every week. The divergence right now is extreme — some exchanges are building aggressively while others are quietly pulling back. This page is updated every Friday with live data.
These aren't snapshot numbers. This is 8 weeks of continuous tracking. The patterns below are structural, not noise.
From near-zero to one of the most active hiring exchanges in the dataset. Compliance went from 0 to 22 roles. Score hit 83 — highest of any CEX.
Dropped 61% in 5 weeks. Engineering fell from 45 to 10. This is a freeze, not gradual attrition — and it follows Kraken's xStocks launch and an expensive EU expansion push.
Total roles stable at ~360. But compliance jumped from 26 to 38 over 4 weeks — a 46% spike inside flat total headcount. Classic regulatory-preparation signal.
A steady 8-week contraction across all functions. Engineering fell from 111 to 75. Total openings down 33%. This followed OKX's restructuring of its institutional desk in January.
The crypto exchange tier is splitting into two groups right now. Bybit and Binance are in aggressive hiring mode — Bybit appears to be rebuilding after its 2022–23 contraction, with particular emphasis on compliance (possibly related to its Dubai/UAE regulatory positioning). Kraken, OKX, and Coinbase are all contracting — some post-expansion normalization, some cost-pressure from the broader market. These divergences typically precede announcements: product launches, regulatory milestones, or restructuring plans. We publish forward predictions when the pattern is strong enough.
Every company Signalmap tracks, ranked by current hiring signal score. Updated every Friday.
