Senior Vue Developer

Lemon.io acts as a bridge between top-tier global engineering talent and innovative companies across the United States and Europe. Since its inception in 2015, the platform has facilitated connections for over 1,500 organisations, including high-growth startups and established industry leaders like Pinterest and Klarna. They are currently looking for experienced Senior Vue Developers to join their international network of remote engineers.

This is an opportunity to move away from the traditional constraints of local agency work. Lemon.io manages the administrative burden, client acquisition, and rate negotiations on your behalf, allowing you to focus entirely on software development.

About the role

This remote position is designed for engineers who value autonomy and professional growth. By joining the Lemon.io platform, you gain access to a pipeline of vetted international projects without the need to hunt for clients or handle the commercial side of contracting. The organisation prioritises a results-oriented culture, which means there are no screen trackers, intrusive micromanagement, or mandatory rigid schedules.

You are expected to work in a way that suits your lifestyle, provided you can maintain either an asynchronous workflow or a reasonable overlap with your client’s time zone. While you will be working directly with the end client, the Lemon.io team provides ongoing support throughout the lifecycle of every engagement to ensure that both the developer and the company are satisfied with the partnership.

The core of this role involves building and maintaining complex frontend systems for international clients. You will be expected to:

• Take ownership of Vue.js project architecture and feature development.
• Work directly with international teams to deliver high-quality, scalable code.
• Collaborate on projects that range from early-stage startups to established enterprise environments.
• Communicate technical progress and requirements effectively, often in an async environment.
• Deliver clean, maintainable, and well-tested code using TypeScript and modern JavaScript standards.

What they're looking for

Lemon.io maintains a high standard for their network to ensure successful placements. They are looking for developers who can demonstrate significant experience with the following:

• A minimum of four years of professional software development experience.
• At least four years of hands-on experience working specifically with the Vue.js framework.
• A minimum of two years of production-level experience with Nuxt.js and core JavaScript.
• A mandatory, high level of proficiency with TypeScript.

Candidates should be comfortable operating in English and be able to demonstrate a track record of stability and professional growth in their previous roles.

For a South African software engineer, a role of this calibre represents a significant opportunity to earn in foreign currency, which remains a highly attractive prospect given the current strength of the Rand. Remote roles at this level often pay well above the local market average, though compensation will ultimately be determined by your specific expertise and seniority level. In the South African context, "Senior" Vue roles are highly sought after by local fintech and retail tech companies, but working through a global platform like Lemon.io provides the added benefit of international exposure and exposure to global coding standards without the need to relocate. This is an ideal path for developers looking to diversify their portfolio and build a long-term, high-income career as a remote global contractor.

• 4+ years of software development experience.
• 4+ years of experience with Vue.js.
• 2+ years of experience with Nuxt.js & JavaScript.
• Experience with Typescript is a must.
