Move Developer Jobs

Move is a purpose-built smart contract language originally developed at Meta for the Diem blockchain, now powering Aptos, Sui, and the emerging Movement network. Move developer jobs represent a niche with rapidly growing demand and very few qualified engineers globally — making it one of the highest-ROI skills to develop in Web3. Aptos and Sui have collectively raised over $1 billion in funding and are actively building out their developer ecosystems. Both protocols maintain large internal engineering teams and fund external developer grants for Move-native projects. Move's resource-oriented model — where digital assets are first-class language objects rather than smart contract state — makes it inherently safer than Solidity for DeFi and asset management applications. Salaries for Move developers range from $120,000–$160,000 for developers transitioning from Rust or similar systems languages, $160,000–$220,000 for engineers with deployed Move applications, and $220,000–$280,000+ for protocol engineers at Aptos or Sui foundation teams. The global supply of Move developers remains extremely small — fewer than 1,000 engineers have production Move experience — creating exceptional compensation and hiring leverage.
