FAQ about hiring Lumen developers

Where can I find Lumen developers?

Look at PHP developer communities that emphasize on Laravel to find capable Lumen developers, given Lumen is a micro-framework built upon it (and often utilized within the larger PHP ecosystem). Looking outside the box might include searching GitHub, connecting via forum or meetups that use Lumen.

If your organization requires an expert who is comfortable with these niche technologies, Lemon.io can quickly simplify this process for you. We already have a talent pool of vetted software engineers who are ready to proceed with cooperation ASAP. Meet your Lumen developer in just 48 hours or less after applying.

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

To make sure you feel good about hiring through Lemon.io, all our Lumen engineers are offered a paid, no-risk pilot that goes up to 20 hours. The time lets you observe them firsthand to see if their knowledge makes sense for your needs, and if they fit in well with your team.

And just like with every specialized position at Lemon.io, you’re covered by our replacement guarantee — should this candidate turn out to be unsuitable, there’s a very smooth process for finding someone else, rapidly & efficiently. It happens from time to time, but it’s not a tradition — less than 1% of clients need a replacement option.

Is there a high demand for Lumen developers?

Although not as hugely popular as its parent framework, Laravel, Lumen still continues to make demand within companies or on projects that work in the direction of lightweight and high-performance APIs (or microservices) coded using PHP. This is especially obvious with companies that need to make dozens or even millions of API requests a second.

Demand for Lumen developers arises due to its excellent fast performance with minimum overhead and it is considered as a great choice when you want API or micro web services which get some amount of traffic. Lumen developers are valuable for companies that focus on speed and scalability which in most cases fall within industries like AdTech, FinTech or API driven platforms.

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

We’ll connect you with a selection of talented developers, usually within 48 hours, so you can hit the ground running. The hiring timeline can be further customized with your chosen processes — additional meetings and onboarding procedures may add a few more days, but we see many clients bring their new Lumen developers on board within a few days.

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

Lemon.io does all the hard stuff behind the scenes. To start, our talent sources have curated a talent pool spanning over 300 of the most popular engineering websites, communities, and job boards. You simply tell us your requirements for a Lumen expert, and our platform quickly locates pre-screened individuals who match those exact needs.

Whether your company wants someone on board long-term or to augment an existing project’s capabilities, Lemon.io supports the need for both permanent placements and flexible time-based hiring on subscription.

All of Lemon.io’s developers focus exclusively on code. We guarantee a frictionless, smooth working process since our team handles anything deemed administrative to ensure onboarding with zero interruptions.

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

When hiring Lumen devs, we are very thorough with vetting each applicant:

1. Applicants complete detailed profiles focusing on skills that match what we are seeking at the time (such as PHP framework familiarity – specifically, Laravel / Lumen and what they’ve used to build).
2. Each CV is closely inspected to confirm their publicly available records (professional sites such as LinkedIn are a good example), and experience is cross-checked, making sure skills on paper truly match.
3. Shortlisted developers must undergo a technical evaluation via Coderbyte, where specific challenges will be given that assess both the breadth & depth of their practical expertise when coding with PHP. It’s a part of the screening call with our trusted recruiters.
4. The final interview with a seasoned engineer includes technical conversations about relevant projects (they previously led/contributed to), practical exercises in problem-solving involving unique constraints, live coding assessments, or even mock-code reviews.

How can your business benefit from hiring a Lumen developer?

Lumen engineers are specialists in creating simple, powerful, efficient APIs written in PHP (using the micro-framework from Laravel) as part of bigger platforms or programs. When apps need to send info to each other, APIs are essential; using Lumen lets you design these communications to happen very fast & easily support tons of users.

Lumen would work well for organizations with businesses requiring swift communication, such as FinTech or online commerce. Things like authentication or payment processing could be made smoother when using it for streaming information and interacting with other systems externally, and that is just the tip of the iceberg.
