FAQ about hiring Web API developers

Where can I find Web API developers?

Hiring a developer proficient in “Web APIs” depends on exactly which skills your organization is seeking; this can encompass anything from REST, GraphQL, and similar architectures. Refine searches on common job boards (Glassdoor, Indeed, LinkedIn, and more) by including programming language(s), backend framework(s) or libraries, the type of application you’re building, or related architecture in tandem with the “Web API” keyword itself. Lastly, using a dedicated recruitment platform, such as Lemon.io, will expedite finding specialists.

What is the no-risk trial period for hiring Web API developers on Lemon.io?

When selecting the perfect developer to create solid and performant Web APIs, Lemon.io makes the process simple and removes most risk through our 20-hour paid trial period, enabling everyone involved to collaborate on genuine needs during which clients can evaluate their new engineer in a context that is both realistic and aligned with their technical specifications.

Don’t fret — Lemon.io provides a substitution if necessary. This minimizes any disruptions to workflow should things not turn out exactly how you envisioned.

Is there a high demand for Web API developers?

There’s a massive and constantly increasing demand for great Web API developers. This is driven by two trends: the growing importance of secure data exchange and communication between apps and the increasing need to connect systems, apps, and platforms together.

The industries where developers with extensive Web API knowledge are in very high demand are eCommerce, online services, social media, and the finance sector. To summarize, anyone seeking to build robust integrations using well-designed secure APIs.

How quickly can I hire a Web API developer through Lemon.io?

We usually can provide profiles of developers with experience in developing Web API (and not just a few “good” resumes that mention RESTful principles) within 24-48 hours. It is left up to you from here. If additional interviews or coding tests are necessary to the timeline, this could extend 5-7 more days. Yet, our clients often tend to make their hires and get a Web API developer to work on integrating systems for them in just 2–8 days.

What are the main strengths of Lemon.io’s platform?

Our 3-stage vetting process requires every candidate to demonstrate their mastery of API and other logical abilities to provide you with the best developer who can quickly fit into your projects.

At Lemon.io, you will directly cooperate with the developer of your choice, which will reduce communication efforts and paperwork. We take care of that for you, so you can get more work done and focus on your project.

Dedicated developers from 50+ countries in different time zones mean you can always find a developer who fits your project work without any hassle.

What is the vetting process for developers at Lemon.io?

We go through an extensive verification process to find the best Web API developers.

1. The candidates are taken through a detailed profile, focusing on their experience in creating APIs and specifically targeting those who know the principles of REST.
2. We check CVs to confirm the applicants’ abilities and work history claims by looking at their LinkedIn profiles or project portfolios.
3. The complete submission includes a technical assessment on Coderbyte, evaluating the candidate’s knowledge of core Web API technologies and best practices.
4. Best-of-breed move onto a final interview with a web service expert, which may include code reviews if the developer’s skills are aligned for this project, looking at past API integration work the candidate has done in practice, and asking them to solve real-world problem scenarios.

How can your business benefit from hiring a Web API developer?

Web API developers build APIs, particularly RESTful services, that enable disconnected systems to communicate and are the linchpin in any company or project that is meant to leverage different online connected data. Those developers let your applications talk to the other software. They empower high-performing companies across all sectors with the tools to connect more readily.

Web API experts streamline processes of information exchange across different types of businesses such as FinTech, online marketplaces, e-commerce platforms, SaaS, etc.
