If you ask any developer how their career started, everyone has their own story. For some, it’s a referral from a friend. For others, it’s grinding LeetCode at 2am while whispering “just one more commit.” For me, it started with a free online course I didn’t expect much from.
Back in 2019, I took a crypto course that felt more like a side quest than a career move. I wasn’t expecting much. But somehow, that experiment turned into my first hands-on experience… and eventually, my first job offer.
Since then, I’ve worked with different teams, built stuff that broke (and fixed it), and realized one simple truth: you don’t level up by just reading docs or watching tutorials. Real growth starts when your code hits production, the logs light up, and someone tags you in a ticket at 10:47 PM asking “why is the deploy stuck on staging?”
Lately, after almost 6 years of working in dev, I’ve also been thinking: I’ve wanted to bridge my dev background with the world of crypto for a while now. Why? Because this space is moving fast, and honestly-it’s too interesting to sit out. I’ve already worked on a few crypto-related projects over the years-but they were fairly simple, nothing that really pushed me out of my comfort zone. And now there's a perfect excuse to dive in.
The WhiteBIT Global Talent Program kicks off in March, and I’m all in. It’s a 4-month remote program for developers who want to grow through real, practical experience. You’ll work in a team environment, write production-level code, and learn how things are done in real tech companies- not just in tutorials or personal side projects.
👉 Take the lead, join the program, and grab your chance at a real job offer with the WhiteBIT team!
I looked through the curriculum of the program - it's pretty solid. Whether you're on the PHP or Go track, it covers everything from architecture and databases to observability, testing, and final project delivery
So why I’m signing up:
🔹 Hands-on, no-fluff structure
🔹 Real feedback from actual engineers (not just “LGTM” on GitHub)
🔹 A shot at a job offer from WhiteBIT
If you’ve been stuck in tutorial purgatory, tired of building the 15th to-do app, or curious how crypto products are actually engineered-this might be your way out.
Let’s build something real!
