Working with Lemon.io was seamless from start to finish. They matched me with a great developer, Ihor, who met and exceeded what I needed while building the MVP for my project. Communication was clear, timelines were respected, and the quality of the work was excellent. I’d happily work with Lemon.io and Ihor again.

Reliable projects, professional sales team, and zero payment stress

I’ve worked on several React, React Native, and Node.js projects through Lemon.io, and they have consistently proven to be a top-tier partner for developers.
The developer onboarding process is professional: after an in-depth screening and a thorough review of my work experience, the sales team took over. They only send valid project offers that are already pre-vetted and align perfectly with my skills and availability. The payments are always on time.
If you want a platform that respects your time and your expertise, Lemon.io is a great choice!

Solid platform with consistent, high-quality projects

I’ve been with Lemon.io for a long time now. I’ve finished 14 projects and logged almost 5,000 hours, and the experience has been very smooth.

The matching team is great, they actually find projects that fit my stack so I don't waste time. Payments are always on time, and the clients are startups or established companies. If you're a dev who just wants to focus on coding without the hassle of searching for work, this is the place to be.

Really enjoyed the interview, great feedback!

Really enjoyed the interview experience. It was very much a 2-way conversation, with the interviewing showing genuine interest in my career and projects while also allowing space for me to ask questions.

What I appreciated most was that I learned a lot during the technical portion of the interview, with the interviewer explaining the answers to questions I didn't answer correctly. A follow up email contained itemized feedback about the entire process.

Lemon has been a great place to work with from the moment of onboarding to the actual projects. It is remarkable how well organized the teams are at Lemon and there is a person always available at every step to help you through the process and then keep engaged with you to make sure you have best chance to get projects as well as make sure you are successful in your engagement. Their way of assessing and evaluating your skills are also very good in that they really focus on real-world skills rather than just your ability to solve test problems. Would definitely recommend them both for developers and for companies looking for developers!
