Women in Blockchain: Engineering Leadership Program

Women's Engineering Leadership Workshop: Exploring Opportunities in Blockchain

What We'll Do

Learn about the different types of problems you could work on at blockchain companies, new and old through 3 short lightning talks. Then, we'll break out into small groups where you'll have the chance to meet like-minded developers who have recently joined the space, hear what they are working on, and learn about opportunities at their companies. This event is for female *engineers* interested in entering the blockchain industry.

Networking

During this event, you will be paired in small groups with engineering leaders with expertise in Javascript, Go, Graphql, React, Solidity, and more. You'll get to learn about their projects as well as the interesting technical challenges they're solving.

Getting a job in Blockchain

We'll provide an overview of the landscape of blockchain companies and how the experiences differ depending on if you work at a financial firm, an open source project, a large team vs small team. Depending on the values of the company, blockchain companies can stress the importance of self-motivated individuals, given the distributed nature of many blockchain companies. Get an inside view on the space and discover what might be a good fit for you.

** Because you will be paired with another engineer during the workshop to discuss technical topics, we cannot accept any non-technical participants. You must be working as an engineer to attend.
