I was impressed by the detail with which the feedback was taken and selection of candidates provided to fit our startup. not a lot of firms care about the details, but they are doing a phenomenal job to find the right fit. would recommend anyone at the early stage as its extremely important to get the right candidates who define the company culture

Darshan Sonde

If your looking to find top developer resource, Lemon.io is the place.

Lemon.io has been a game changer for us. Speed, clarity, and quality were there from day one, but what really impressed me was how much they care about getting the right fit, not just filling a role.

We had some specific requirements, and the candidates surfaced were consistently high quality and well aligned. The team checked in regularly, handled onboarding smoothly, and genuinely went the extra mile to keep things simple.

It’s rare to find a service that combines great talent with great people. Lemon.io absolutely does both, and we’ll be continuing to work with them. Diana is a superstar.

Lemon provides access to great talent. Their platforms are good and I’ve found my account rep (Alina) to be super helpful and knowledgable.

Chris Freeberg

Lemon cares a tremendous amount about finding high quality developers that are the right long term fit. We had some specific requirements and Iryna was able to find some great options that were all really qualified. They checked in several times during the engagement and made sure the start and kickoff for the dev was well handled. Will be planning on working with them well into the future.

Grant Wilkinson

Building our tech startup would not have been possible without Lemon.

We’ve been working for ~1.5 year with one of their full stack engineer from Brazil, Matheus, whom we strongly recommend. As 2 co-founders looking for moving our prototype product to a production level, Lemon has been amazing at guiding us through the selection process and then ongoingly whenever we had any questions or requests (thank you Andrew Bondar) – definitely recommend.

FAQ about hiring Software Architects

Where can I find Software Architects?

You can find Software Architects online. You can publish your job openings and look for talent on job boards, freelance platforms, social networks, and various forums. Also, you can opt for online or offline networking. The primer options can work out for those with contacts in the tech field, and the latter is a good strategy for those ready to attend tech meetups and events.

Lemon.io is one of the best places to look for Software Architects. Instead of scanning the platforms for candidates and spending much time on research, you share a job description and receive a CV of a person that matches it perfectly. In other words, you can find a software architect quickly while avoiding stress.

Can I test the Software Architect skills during the no-risk trial period?

Before subscribing to the services, you can test the software architect skills during the extra paid working hours (up to 20). We thoroughly review all CVs, do background checks, and test every candidate’s hard skills during interviews. Thus, you can be sure our talent pool only features proven experts. If you face any serious problems in the future (missed deadlines, poor performance, lots of mistakes, etc.), you can contact our team and request the substitution of a software architect. However, the probability of such scenarios is very low.

Are Software Architects in demand?

Yes, Software Architects are in high demand. Their role in the development team is the main reason for this: Software Architects build a solid backbone for a future digital product. Moreover, it’s becoming more and more critical to have an architect involved in system design. Software gets more complicated, the reliance on cloud technologies and microservices grows, and companies slowly transition to Web3.

Digital transformation is another reason that puts architects in demand. A skilled architect is one of those team members who can design efficient software that is logical, scalable, and reliable. A software architect is always a senior role. It requires a lot of experience and learning. Naturally, such experts are less numerous than developers, affecting the demand.

How quickly can I hire Software Architects through Lemon.io?

You can hire Software Architects through Lemon.io within 24 to 48 hours. The platform aims to simplify the hiring process for tech companies. Thus, our team handles CV reviews, candidate background checks, screenings, and technical interviews. So, from outlining the requirements for a software architect your team seeks, you get straight to receiving a CV of an ideal candidate. This saves a lot of energy and nerves, but more importantly, it allows you to start working on the project almost immediately after putting a request out there.

What is the vetting process for Software Architects at Lemon.io?

The vetting process for Software Architects at Lemon.io entails CV analysis, a background check, and online interviews – four steps in total:

1. A specialist fills in all the required information on the platform. The system automatically analyzes their profile to approve or decline it. It considers a software architect’s experience, tech stack, English proficiency, and location.
2. A recruiter receives the approved CV, evaluates it personally, and does a background check using open data resources. This can include checking the candidate’s LinkedIn profile, social networks, activity on different forums, etc.
3. A recruiter arranges a screening call, during which they evaluate the software architect’s soft skills and check some basic knowledge using questions from Coderbyte.
4. The software architect is invited to a technical interview, where we assess their hard skills. For this, we can use some live coding tasks or niche-specific questions.

Those who pass all four stages get their CVs published on Lemon.io and are ready to take on new projects.

Why should I use Lemon.io to hire Software Architects?

It would be best if you used Lemon.io to hire Software Architects because there’s hardly any other platform that makes hiring this easy. You only share a job description and receive a CV of an ideal candidate. Our team picks the one from the pool of available specialists – all pre-vetted, with their backgrounds checked and skills validated. The entire process takes around 24 to 48 hours. Without Lemon.io, the search for candidates can last for weeks, if not months. What’s more, it’s often followed by extra waiting time since a software architect may need it to finish their current projects before joining yours.

How much does it cost to hire Software Architects?

Hiring Software Architects costs between $38K-$187K per year. What is the difference so striking? The payment rate depends a lot on the person’s skillset, tech stack, experience and expertise, your project’s complexity, and even location. Thus, you should start the hiring process by outlining clear responsibilities for this role and expectations for your ideal candidate. Remember that the best talent isn’t always the most expensive. Research your options and keep the specific project’s needs in mind during your search. Or just share your requirements with the Lemon.io team, and we’ll find the perfect software architect for you.

How are Lemon.io Software Architects different?

Lemon.io Software Architects differ from many candidates on similar platforms because they are all pre-vetted. If their CV is on Lemon.io, this person has passed the background check, the screening interview, and the technical interview. In other words, our team took time to assess and verify all the skills mentioned in their profile.
Also, Software Architects at Lemon.io are ready to start the work immediately. Everyone in a pool of available talent isn’t engaged in full-time projects and doesn’t need a notice period before joining your team.
