FAQ about hiring C++ developers

How much does it cost to hire a C++ developer?

The cost to hire a C++ developer could vary because of different factors: first of all, a C++ developer can cooperate with you as an employee or as an independent contractor. If you are seeking an employee, you can pay a base salary and additional pay, but for independent contractors, usually, only one rate is used, which includes all payments.

Where can I hire a C++ developer?

To hire the right Senior C++ developer for remote full-time projects, you can use Indeed, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and other platforms. In this case, you should be ready to review a large number of CVs, conduct screening calls, hard skills interviews, communicate with candidates, and support other processes relevant to the hiring process. However, going through numerous devs resumes and profiles can be extremely time-consuming and overwhelming, as well as communication, setting up interviews, and tech tasks to find the best candidates. If you prefer to cut the chase and focus on other tasks, Lemon.io is at your service. We will select for you 2-3 vetted candidates who meet all your requirements in 48 hours.

The rate depends on various factors: seniority level, skill sets, and number of years of experience. Additionally, we would like to remind you that for a direct-hire, you should add the additional pay, which is not included in the daily rate. For a Senior C++ developer, it will cost you $56K – $105K per year.

What is the US hourly rate for a C++ developer?

Does Python or C++ pay more?

According to information from Glassdoor, Senior C++ developers can earn more with a yearly base salary ranging from $144K to $189K. On the other hand, Senior Python Developers typically earn between $146K and $177K annually. However, more projects require Python for development. Therefore, if you aim to work on more projects, Python may be the preferable programming language to use.

How fast can I be connected with a C++ developer once I make a request?

You can be connected with a C++ developer within 48 hours after the request. In these 48 hours, our team will manually choose the C++ developer for your project – their skills and experience will be relevant to the requirements of your project. The C++ developer who will be connected with you has already been pre-vetted by our team and has successfully completed these stages: VideoAsk, completion of their me.lemon profile, a screening call with our recruiters that includes various technical questions, and a technical interview with our technical interviewers.

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

At Lemon.io, we offer a no-risk paid trial for hiring a C++ developer and a zero-risk replacement guarantee. The no-risk paid trial is up to 20 prepaid hours, which helps clients check how the C++ developer completes real tasks. Additionally, we provide a zero-risk replacement guarantee: we will offer you a new C++ developer if the previous one doesn’t meet your expectations. This is not a standard situation for us because only 1% of applicants can join our community, so we are confident in their seniority level and technical skills. However, if it happens, we promise to make the replacement.
