Hire WCF developers

WCF developers (Windows Communication Foundation) have lots of experience building service-oriented apps, so most of the talent will be located within .NET communities. To find the right candidate for the role, start by looking on sites like Indeed, Dice, or LinkedIn—then drill down further. Niche technical forums dedicated to .NET are frequented by more experienced developers who may have worked on older, enterprise-grade applications built with WCF.

Lemon.io makes finding experienced developers of almost any specialization much easier (and faster) than searching manually on other sites.

Finding the right WCF developer for your project is essential, and that’s why Lemon.io offers a paid no-risk trial. For up to 20 hours, you can work directly with a specialist who has demonstrably built Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) projects in the past; use this to time assess how capable they are and what style they bring to development.

But don’t fret if things don’t work out — if their capabilities don’t live up to what’s expected Lemon.io will handle replacements for you.

The demand for dedicated WCF developers has seen a decrease in recent years due to the arrival of contemporary alternatives within the .NET ecosystem, but WCF remains a key technology for many companies maintaining systems already built with it. Many businesses still depend on this framework and programmers skilled with its ins and outs are much needed by such establishments.

Companies with existing projects that still use WCF will need experts who understand it very well for ongoing support or transfer to newer technologies. Microsoft-dependent businesses and those whose main framework is .NET will likely be looking to hire.

Typically, we can get you a shortlist of premium WCF developers within 24 to 48 hours of your request with the developer’s availability and other considerations. This might require additional interviews or skills tests as part of the process. It could add 5-7 more days in testing. In many cases, we can deliver a new WCF developer within 2-8 days to work side-by-side with our clients.

Lemon.io possesses an extensive network of talented developers spanning more than 50 countries, across many time zones, and with experience in hundreds of technologies and frameworks — making it easier to connect you with WCF specialists who fit your needs.

While the rigorous, multi-stage vetting ensures that only 1% of all applicants pass our qualifications, you are further protected by our rapid replacement process.

In case your originally chosen WCF developer cannot continue, we immediately start working to find you a suitable alternative who can seamlessly pick up where the previous developer left off.

So, skilled WCF developers — how do we spot them?

1. Candidates post elaborate profiles reflecting experience in building service-oriented applications, WCF, .NET, and key Microsoft technologies. These profiles are run through an automated initial game of checks against a predefined list.
2. Each CV is filtered by recruiters who confirm the details with LinkedIn and look especially at the applicant’s track record of working on .NET and WCF applications.
3. Candidates undergo a Coderbyte technical evaluation to demonstrate their understanding of WCF fundamentals and experience with older Microsoft technologies, specifically for communication-heavy applications.
4. The final interview is typically about completing practical tasks or discussing available projects to remove doubts about their ability to apply knowledge and problem-solving skills in bigger contexts.

WCF developers are responsible for creating applications that use Windows Communication Foundation, Microsoft’s older technology. The use of WCF services started to wane about the time that REST-based APIs really took off, but systems built with this framework needed solid expertise in order for them to be maintainable.

Enterprise systems are a stronghold – and will be for a long time – where Windows Communication technology is simply part of the application structure (newer applications using this communication model should reconsider their approach).
