How to use this when writing a listing
Three patterns show up in the data. Engineering titles are specific — the chain, the language or the layer is in the title, because that is what engineers search for — and umbrella words ("blockchain", "crypto", "web3") mostly live in the description. Seniority is stated in the title far more often than not, and candidates take it literally: a "Senior" title with a junior band attracts nobody. And non-technical titles are where the most variance is — the same work is called growth, marketing, community or partnerships at different companies, and candidates self-select accordingly, so pick the word for the work you actually need done. Pair the right title with a published band from the benchmarks and you have covered the two things candidates read first.

Frequently asked questions
What are the most common crypto job titles?
On live listings today: Senior Software Engineer, Senior Product Manager, Software Engineer, Product Manager, Senior Data Engineer, Engineering Manager. The full ranked list of 40 titles, with counts, is on this page and recomputes daily from employers' own listings.
Does the job title affect who applies?
Strongly. Candidates self-select on the title before reading the description — a "Growth Lead" and a "Marketing Manager" attract different people, and vague titles attract generalists. Use the title the market uses for the work you actually need done.
Should I use 'blockchain', 'crypto' or 'web3' in the title?
Use the term the candidate pool uses: engineers search for the chain or stack (Solidity, Rust, Solana) far more than for any of the three umbrella words. Put the umbrella word in the description, the specific skill in the title.
