What they build
Right for products with a Python backend, or teams adding data and AI features that are easiest to build in Python.
01
Django products
Web apps and admin back-offices with Django and Django REST Framework, from models to deployment.
02
FastAPI services
Fast, typed APIs with Pydantic, async database access and generated OpenAPI docs.
03
Data-heavy backends
Imports, reports, scheduled jobs and integrations that move data between your systems.
04
AI features
The backend for LLM features: retrieval, prompt pipelines and evaluation, next to your existing API.
What we vet for
A senior engineer, not a recruiter, runs every stage: a communication screen, a practical task in your stack, a technical interview and references. You see the scorecard and interview the shortlist.
- Django and Django REST Framework, or FastAPI with Pydantic
- Postgres, migrations and ORM performance
- Celery or another task queue for background work
- Type hints, pytest and CI
- Docker and deploying to AWS
- Reading and improving code someone else wrote

Questions
Straight answers on time, money, people and IP.
Django or FastAPI?
Django when you want an admin, auth and an ORM out of the box; FastAPI for lean, high-throughput APIs. Our engineers work in both.
Can a Python developer also help with AI work?
Yes, for the application side: calling models, retrieval and pipelines. For model training or heavier data work, hire an AI or data engineer.
How fast can they start?
Python developers are a fast-start role: a senior engineer from our core team can usually start within 5 working days, while we match your long-term hire.
What does it cost to hire Python developers?
From $2,400 a month (about $15/hr) for a mid-level engineer, $3,200 for senior and $4,200 for a lead, for about 160 hours a month. Overtime, when you need it, is 1.5× the normal rate.
Who owns the code?
You do, from the first commit. We sign a mutual NDA before you share details, every contract assigns all code and IP to you, and the code lives in your repositories.
