Who can apply

Lemon.io is a senior-only network. Vetting is deliberately demanding — so before you apply, see what the bar looks like.

You’re likely a good fit if you have:

• Senior-level, hands-on experience — a minimum of 3 years of commercial experience in a specific stack, with most developers in the network at 6–8 years. What matters is proven work on real products, not tutorials or side projects.

• Strong English — clear, professional communication, spoken and written, enough to handle standups, async discussion, and technical conversations. Accent and grammatical perfection don't matter; clarity does.

• Real availability — 20+ hours per week. Full-time (40h/week) developers are preferred and generally get matched faster.

• A relevant, in-demand stack — mainstream technologies such as JavaScript/TypeScript, React, React Native, Node.js, Python, Ruby on Rails, Java, .NET, PHP, Flutter, iOS, and cloud platforms, plus Data, AI/ML, QA, and UX/UI roles. If your CV shows depth across multiple stacks, you can be vetted for them.

A few practical notes:

• On a notice period? You’re welcome to apply, ideally if part-time work is possible in the meantime. Profiles that need 2+ months before starting full-time may not move forward right away.

• Not senior yet? Junior and mid-level engineers can still register — the team will reach out once you’ve reached the seniority level clients hire for.

• Rejected before? You can reapply, as long as you have a relevant stack, the right seniority, and sufficient English at the time you reapply.

What we don’t require: you don’t need to sell yourself, write cover letters, or bid on roles. Vetting is what earns you access; after that, relevant project offers come to you.

Ready? Apply here & good luck.
