Blockchain Jobs in Malaysia 

If you’re thinking about stepping into the world of blockchain and FinTech in Malaysia, you’ve got good timing. As demand for digital finance and decentralised solutions grows, blockchain-related roles are emerging as promising career paths. This article shows you why blockchain jobs matter, what you could earn and how a qualification in financial technology can position you for success.

Why Blockchain Jobs in Malaysia Are on the Rise 

• The FinTech sector in Malaysia is increasingly embracing blockchain, cryptocurrencies and digital banking, meaning businesses need people who understand both finance and technology. 

• With this shift, blockchain-related roles, from developer to product analyst to compliance or risk roles, are being advertised across cities, especially around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. 

• As firms explore decentralised finance, tokenisation, digital payments and ledger-based systems, the need for professionals who know blockchain fundamentals, not just coding, but also regulation, finance and analytics, is growing. 

So if you have an interest in finance and tech and you adapt quickly, now might be a good time to jump in. 

Salary & Career Path 

The pay range for blockchain and related FinTech jobs in Malaysia varies based on experience, role and employer, but there are encouraging numbers: 

• Entry-level / junior blockchain developers reportedly start at around RM 3,000–RM 5,000/month, rising to RM 5,000–RM 8,000/month for mid-level developers. Senior roles can pay significantly more. 

• In some listings, backend or blockchain-engineer roles offer up to RM 8,500/month. 

• A wider survey suggests that as you accumulate experience (5–10 years and beyond), earnings increase, though reported averages vary based on role, skill set and employer. 

Of course, pay might also depend on skills beyond pure coding - e.g. understanding of finance, compliance, analytics or blockchain governance. 

What Types of Blockchain / FinTech Roles You Could Go Into 

With a background in Blockchain and FinTech, and depending on your strengths (tech vs finance vs business), you might aim for roles such as: 

• Blockchain Associate / Developer — working on blockchain-based infrastructure, smart contracts, distributed ledger systems. 
• FinTech Product Analyst / Business Analyst (FinTech) — helping design, analyse or optimise digital-finance products, maybe involving blockchain or crypto. 
• Crypto / Market Analyst — analysing crypto / token markets, understanding trends, risk, valuations (if you combine analytics/finance skills). 
• Risk / Compliance / Governance roles in FinTech — combining understanding of finance, regulation and blockchain platforms. 
• FinTech Support / Operations / Digital Banking Officer — supporting digital banking platforms, payment systems, blockchain-powered finance services. 

If you aim high and build your skills over time, some companies in the blockchain space even seek senior developers, architects or managerial roles. 

What You Should Keep in Mind (and How to Prepare) 

• Because blockchain sits at the intersection of finance, technology and regulation — having both technical chops and understanding of finance/business is a plus.
• While demand is growing, the FinTech / blockchain market in Malaysia is still evolving. Depending on the company (startup vs established), job stability and pay might vary. It helps to pick internships, industry-relevant microcredentials or practical exposure. 
• Market pay varies widely depending on your experience and skills. To get better pay, aim to build a strong portfolio, perhaps with blockchain projects, analytics skills or FinTech business insight.
