Lemon.io Is Matching Senior .NET Devs With Remote Startup Gigs
Skip the client hustle. Lemon.io pairs experienced .NET full-stack developers with vetted startups across the US and Europe — and handles the business side for you.
If you're a senior .NET developer tired of chasing leads, negotiating rates, and dealing with the general grind of finding good remote work, Lemon.io is worth a look. The New York-based platform acts as a matchmaker between skilled engineers and hand-picked startups, taking the sales and admin headaches off your plate entirely.
Rather than throwing you into a pool of hundreds of applicants, the team manually matches developers to projects based on their specific skills and working preferences. Pay varies depending on your experience level and technical background — the platform has reportedly paid out over $11 million to engineers so far, which suggests a decent volume of ongoing work.
The setup is built with autonomy in mind. You can work async or with minimal overlap with your client's time zone, and there's no micromanagement or activity tracking. You also communicate directly with clients, most of whom come from technical backgrounds — which tends to make conversations smoother and more productive.
Most of the projects sit inside fast-moving startup environments, so this is a better fit for developers who are comfortable with ambiguity and quick iteration than those looking for a slow, corporate pace.
