399 roles on the Solana job board, and the visible mix is Rust/security, SRE/release, data, payments, design and GTM rather than pure community ops. DefiLlama has Solana around $5.9B TVL and $44B of 30-day DEX volume, so the labor market is starting to price the chain like production financial infra, not a memecoin arcade. Firedancer and Alpenglow raise the ceiling, but teams like Jito, Helius, Jupiter, Coinflow, Squads and Fermah still need unglamorous headcount to turn faster blockspace into durable apps.
