  • Roselyn

    AI Engineer

    Philippines/(GMT +8:00)

    Roselyn is a Senior AI Engineer with 8+ years in software development, about 5 of them focused on AI, building LLM applications across fintech, edtech and logistics. Her core stack is Python, FastAPI, LangChain/LangGraph, OpenAI APIs and PostgreSQL, backed by hands-on deployment experience with Docker, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes and Terraform. She’s strongest on the hard parts of RAG: structure-aware chunking, two-stage retrieval with reranking, and layered evaluation with LangSmith, Ragas and MLflow.

  • Jefferson

    AI Engineer

    Brazil/(GMT -3:00)

    Jefferson is a Senior AI Engineer with 11+ years rooted in NLP and computational linguistics — a rare foundation that shapes how he approaches LLM systems at the data layer, retrieval design, and evaluation. He covers the full AI engineering stack: agentic orchestration (LangGraph, CrewAI, AWS Bedrock AgentCore), RAG pipelines with chapter-aware chunking and semantic retrieval surfaces, and multi-model GenAI workflows with structured quality evaluation. He's taken sole architectural ownership of production agentic platforms at enterprise scale, and brings genuine pre-transformer NLP depth — spaCy, BERT, NER, classical ASR — that most LLM engineers simply don't have. Best fit as the AI/NLP design lead on a RAG or agentic product where retrieval architecture and orchestration quality matter more than raw Python backend throughput.

The lemon tea

Why hire Bubble developers with Lemon.io?

No-code development pulls in a lot of people who have finished a Bubble Academy course and started taking clients. We help you differentiate real experts (e.g., Full-stack or AI engineers with Bubble experience) from amateurs.

Why hire Bubble

What can you build with a Bubble developer?

A skilled Bubble developer does more than spin up a quick prototype. They engage in product development with a clean user experience and real-time data flows. Below are the most common use cases, the kind you'd find in real case studies.

SaaS products

B2B tools with dashboards, user roles, and subscription billing via Stripe, built and launched by a single developer in weeks.

Fast MVPs

Use Bubble to build functional, testable MVPs for investor pitches and early user feedback.

Automated workflows

Employ Bubble with tools like Make or native API integrations to automate onboarding sequences, lead routing, contract generation, and notification systems.

AI-powered web apps

Content generation tools, intelligent forms, and AI-assisted SaaS products can also be built this way, and the demand for developers who can do it well is high.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Bubble developer do?

A Bubble developer designs and builds web applications with Bubble’s visual editor by structuring the database, setting up backend workflows, connecting external services through APIs, and managing user authentication and access rules.

Experienced Bubble developers effectively work as full-stack engineers on the platform, handling what would normally require separate front-end and back-end development specialists. On bigger projects, they also take care of performance tuning, security configuration, and scalability decisions.

How much does it cost to hire a Bubble developer?

In the US, Bubble.io developers earn around $95,000–$100,000 per year on average, and senior contractors on complex SaaS or marketplace projects bill anywhere from $75 to $125/hour. Through platforms like Lemon.io, hourly rates for developers typically run about $45–$85/hour, depending on seniority, location (with timezone overlap considered), and scope, with no upfront recruiting fee.

Is Bubble suitable for building an MVP?

It’s a strong choice. A Bubble app can go from concept to something real users can test in weeks instead of months with traditional coding. The catch is that cheap or inexperienced developers often build MVPs with structural problems that need a full rebuild before the product can grow. A full-time Bubble developer who’s shipped production apps before knows how to build an app that doesn’t fall apart in production.

Should I hire a freelance Bubble developer or a development agency?

A senior freelance developer is a more cost-effective path for a short-term web development project. A development agency makes sense when you have a hard deadline and need multiple in-house specialists running in parallel. The gap in technical expertise between a good freelancer and a development agency is smaller than their pricing difference suggests.

For instance, if you currently use WordPress as your platform and hire an agency to build and maintain things on it, that combination tends to cost more and move more slowly than hiring one good Bubble developer to handle the full no-code development stack (functionality, integrations, ongoing support) is worth considering.

Is Bubble better than Replit?

Different tools that do different jobs. Bubble.io is a visual programming platform for building full web applications. It has its own database, workflow engine, user management system, and hundreds of plugins. Replit is a collaborative coding environment with AI-assisted code generation. You’d use Replit to write and run code, and you’d use Bubble to build a product without writing code.

What skills should I look for when hiring a Bubble developer?

Start with database architecture; anyone who reaches for the visual editor before mapping out data types is a red flag. Look for real API Connector experience (REST and OAuth flows, apart from Zapier), clean workflow design, and evidence that they’ve configured privacy rules correctly on a product that handles real user data.

The best candidates also know when to write custom JavaScript actions and when to bring in an external tool like Xano or Supabase for operations that Bubble isn’t built to handle well.

Should I hire an AI engineer with Bubble experience or a Bubble developer only?

Depends on what you’re building. If the core product is an AI system — model fine-tuning, ML pipelines — and Bubble is just the front-end wrapper, you’ll need an AI engineer who’s comfortable using the platform. But most startups building AI-assisted web apps don’t need that.

They need an expert who can wire up the OpenAI or Anthropic API through Bubble’s API Connector, design the workflows around it, and ship a working product. For that, a senior Bubble developer with hands-on API integration experience gets you further, faster, and at a lower rate than a dedicated AI engineer.
