FAQ about hiring PWA developers

Where can I find PWA developers?

To find talented engineers for building PWAs, look within two types of professional communities: front-end development and mobile app building. Start with job sites like GlassDoor, LinkedIn, or Seek to discover candidates — make sure to use relevant search terms (“PWA,” “Progressive Web App,” “web application development”) and specific front-end languages (JavaScript, React, Angular, or Vue.js) to hone the results.

Then, there are dedicated tech hiring platforms, such as Lemon.io, where you have direct access to skilled PWA engineers at once. All our software engineers are pre-vetted and ready to join your project ASAP.

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

To make sure clients can truly assess candidates’ skills for building next-gen PWAs, every engineer we onboard has a no-risk paid trial that extends up to 20 hours — during which the client is able to directly collaborate on whatever real-world task they’re working on to see how well that dev stacks up.

That’s backed by Lemon.io’s replacement guarantee — meaning a swift switch for your next Progressive Web App rockstar. It doesn’t happen traditionally because our clients are usually completely happy with the subscriptions, but if the situation exists, we will do our best to make a replacement and find you a better fit.

Is there a high demand for PWA developers?

PWA experts are indeed highly sought-after as businesses look for a simple yet effective way to offer engaging online experiences that work on both mobile and desktop platforms.

Companies relying heavily on a strong web presence — especially within sectors targeting users who are mobile-first — are seeing the most benefits when building these kinds of applications. Essentially, PWAs create an app-like experience without requiring dedicated software downloads, which increases usability while lowering costs across the board.

Online learning, content providers, social media — any platform catering to a broad user-base — benefits from hiring PWA developers right now.

How quickly can I hire an PWA developer through Lemon.io?

Within 48 hours, you should be able to review a hand-picked selection of suitable candidates. You drive the rest of the process, whether it’s additional discussions. Though these stages may require a few days for some clients, we see that many of Lemon.io’s users have the right developer on board & contribute value to projects in an extremely short timeline.

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

Our extensive network of experienced developers means that we can find you a great fit in just 2 days. You will be able to save time and money for your PWA needs.

To connect to PWA developers Lemon.io offers two choices: you can subscribe to our platform on a time-based package and we will assist you in candidate sourcing; or if your company’s preference is permanent employment directly with an individual then we will organize that person’s arrival.

We also deal with labor-intensive and complex messy things like contracts and payments on behalf of the developers who work through our platform.

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

This is our vetting process to ensure Lemon.io PWA developers meet our quality:

1. Every candidate submits their resume or profile, listing PWA-related experiences and overall competence, for a pre-screen against the relevant project’s needs (conducted by a mixture of algorithms and human expertise).
2. We then check CVs (often using LinkedIn, too) to confirm the background checks of all potential hires, ensuring skills match what’s mentioned on those public forums.
3. They will then need to complete technical testing via Coderbyte to confirm they are knowledgeable when it comes to developing successful PWAs. There is no way to join the community without passing this task successfully – it’s conducted during the screening call with our recruiters and is a key to moving forward with the next step.
4. During the final stage, a senior programmer will be asked more specific questions regarding their technical knowledge (and how it was applied), the architecture involved, and scenarios where the candidate had solved PWA-specific challenges in the past.

How can your business benefit from hiring a PWA developer?

Progressive Web App developers specialize in hybrid solutions that create a nearly native experience for users, mixing web-based tech with that feel of a typical mobile app. PWAs offer quick loading, have notifications, are accessible offline, and utilize features found on the device they are running on (such as geo-location).

A variety of companies across multiple sectors often hire PWAs to maintain a competitive web presence as these experts can push into the mobile space in an affordable, efficient manner. Think businesses in: social media, digital publishing companies (media & news platforms), etc.

Hiring Guide: PWA Developers

Hiring PWA (Progressive Web App) developers is the key to delivering app-like experiences through the web. PWAs combine the best features of websites and native mobile apps—fast loading, offline functionality, and push notifications—without requiring app store downloads. Skilled PWA developers help companies enhance performance, boost engagement, and improve user retention across all devices.

Why Hire PWA Developers

Progressive Web App developers specialize in creating cross-platform applications that work seamlessly across browsers and devices. By hiring expert PWA developers, you can:

     
  • Build web applications with near-native app performance and responsiveness.
  •  
  • Enable offline usage, background sync, and push notifications through service workers.
  •  
  • Improve SEO visibility and user retention through lightweight, installable apps.
  •  
  • Reduce development costs by maintaining one codebase for web and mobile experiences.
  •  
  • Deliver fast-loading, secure, and reliable user interfaces that work even on low networks.

Key Skills to Look For

     
  • Programming Languages: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), and TypeScript.
  •  
  • Frameworks & Libraries: React.js, Angular, Vue.js, Svelte, and Ionic.
  •  
  • PWA Technologies: Service Workers, Web App Manifests, and IndexedDB.
  •  
  • Backend Knowledge: Node.js, Firebase, GraphQL, and REST APIs.
  •  
  • Testing & Optimization: Lighthouse, Jest, Cypress, and Workbox.
  •  
  • UX/UI Design: Responsive design, Material UI, and accessibility best practices.
  •  
  • Deployment: Experience with AWS, Azure, or Netlify for hosting and scaling PWAs.

Experience Levels

     
  • Junior Developers (0–2 years): Assist with UI components, API integration, and front-end improvements under guidance.
  •  
  • Mid-Level Developers (2–5 years): Build complete PWA solutions, handle service worker caching, and implement responsive layouts.
  •  
  • Senior Developers (5+ years): Architect scalable PWA frameworks, lead performance audits, and integrate advanced features like background sync and push notifications.
