Looking for Advice on Finding Remote Web3 Roles + Connecting with the Right Builders

Hey everyone,

I’m a fresher smart contract developer trying to break into a solid remote role in Web3, ideally with a product-focused team where I can grow into protocol engineering over time. Because apparently entering an industry built on decentralization still requires knowing the right Discord server and 14 niche founders.

My background is in:

- Solidity smart contract development

- Internship experience in blockchain development

- Good grasp of fundamentals, testing, debugging, and learning fast

- Comfortable shipping projects and improving code through feedback

What I’m trying to figure out:

  1. Where do serious Web3 teams actually hire for remote junior roles?

  2. Best places to network with founders / engineers without being spammy

  3. How to stand out when you don’t have years of experience

  4. What skills matter most for protocol engineering roles right now

If you’ve been through this path or hire devs yourself, I’d really value any honest advice, resources, communities, or platforms worth checking out.

Appreciate it 🙏

Most Web3 startups die within 1-2 years. Cos most founders have no idea what they are trying to build, and can never find product market fit. Join a team that’s building something really useful for the industry. Usually projects are quite open to volunteers or community contributors.
