Back in 2020, my path into tech was typical for many Ukrainian developers: online courses, small pet projects, experimenting with frameworks, and trying to “get ready” for a real job.
At the time, it felt like progress. But there was one gap no tutorial could close — real production experience.
There was no access to
- live infrastructure
- team-based development and code reviews
- understanding how decisions affect systems used by thousands or millions of users
This gap was especially obvious when looking at crypto and fintech. The industry was moving fast, but entry points for junior engineers were limited. Requirements were high, while practical onboarding opportunities were rare.
What’s different today?
Over the past few years, the ecosystem has matured. We’re finally seeing programs designed not as “courses,” but as structured entry points into real product teams.
One of the strongest examples is the WhiteBIT Global Talent Program, created with Ukrainian engineers in mind.
Not as marketing hype — but as an engineering-first approach to onboarding developers into crypto infrastructure.
Why this program makes sense for developers?
🔹 Production-focused learning. Participants solve real tasks connected to WhiteBIT’s infrastructure.
🔹 Team environment
🔹 Mentorship from practitioners
🔹 Clear structure and expectations
Start date: March 2, 2026
Outcome: individual final project
👉 Turn theory into real production experience and compete for your first crypto job offer!
The program is open to Ukrainian developers based in Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia, allowing engineers to grow professionally without relocation.
After completing the program, participants get a real opportunity for a job offer at WhiteBIT. That makes it a clear transition path:
pet projects → production → product team → full-time role
Crypto and fintech today are no longer experimental playgrounds. They are complex, regulated, high-stakes systems.
If you want to build a career here as a developer, production experience matters more than ever — not just knowing a language or framework.
Programs like this finally close the gap that existed for years.
🚀 Learn today. Work tomorrow.
