FAQ about hiring Scala developers

Where can I find Scala developers?

Where can I find Scala developers? There are a lot of options that you may consider. You can start with freelancer platforms or job listings. Freelancer platforms are also a good variant for businesses. There, you can find portfolios and choose the best one for your company. Additionally, you can read the client reviews and find rankings of Scala developers. Also, pay attention to Lemon.io, because it is a specialized platform with large databases of developers. Just choose skills you’ll need, and Lemon.io will show all suitable candidates.

What is the no-risk trial period for hiring Scala developer on Lemon.io?

We strive for transparency on Lemon.io and want you to feel confident when hiring Scala developers in our platform. We provide a “no-risk” trial period for you to have the first-hand experience of developer’s skills before committing long-term with them.
A paid trial allows you to see the developer working on real tasks from your project for up to 20 hours. It will help you understand how they solve problems, code and communicate and check their skills against your criteria.
We also offer a 0-risk replacement guarantee for our Scala developers because we are sure of the skills. Should the developer not meet your expectations (this including any other reason), we will supply you with a new one at once.

Are Scala developers in demand?

Scala is in demand, and continues to fare well – especially when you consider big data oriented jobs or systems that emphasise bedrock principles of functional programming. The fact that Scala can work so seamlessly with the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) makes it perfect for companies who are already invested in this eco-system but desire a more concise and functional way of programming.
In fact, that specialisation is why enterprises working with data processing and streaming technologies such as Apache Spark and Kafka often search for seasoned Scala developers. While less widespread than many other languages, Scala has such a significant niche and industry-applicability as to preserve its developer value.

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

Within our network, we have certified developers experienced with a lot of technologies including Scala. So, usually, we can match you with an appropriate Scala programmer in 2-7 days depending on your project requirements and developers’ availability.

How much does a Scala developer charge per hour?

From $70 to $150 per hour is the price of Scala dev, usually known for creating scalable and high-performance apps. That said, the actual cost for this varies based on a number of important factors such as expertise, geographic location and also complexity of your project.
A senior Scala developer with deep knowledge of big data technologies (Spark and Kafka) will normally be priced higher than an entry level programmer. The cost also varies on how complex or specific your project is, as more resource-intensive projects require a research team with specialized expertise.
Contact us for Scala project pricing based on your exact needs.

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

Here’s how we vet Scala developers at Lemon.io:

1. Profile evaluation. We evaluate candidates’ profiles based on their Scala experience, knowledge of functional programming, and communication skills.
2. CV and background check. Our recruiters assess the candidates’ CVs, LinkedIn and GitHub profiles to validate their experience and credibility within the Scala community.
3. Interview. A phone or video call where we check the candidate’s understanding of Scala’s frameworks. We make them solve a coding problem on Coderbyte, too.
4. Live coding session and technical check. We provide scenarios for the devs to solve, assessing their coding style, and their comfort level with different Scala tools and libraries.

This is how we pick the Scala developers that meet our standards and can join your project right away.

How can your business benefit from hiring a Scala developer?

Companies who may be working with huge data sets and building scalable apps can afford to make a strategic move by hiring a Scala developer. A fusion of functional and object-oriented programming makes Scala a concise language for moderate-complexity systems that also has facilities for retooling into efficient adaptation to systems with high complexity.
This means faster time to market and the ability to scale up or down as your data volume increases over course of time. Scala also synchronizes well with big data tools such as Apache Spark, which is perfect for businesses using advanced analytics and machine learning. With a good Scala developer you can power through data processing, create advanced back-end systems and enable your organization to access that data for new insights.
