02 Two kinds of work

Python development outsourcing: two kinds of engineer

Python work usually arrives as one of two jobs: a backend to extend, or data and AI work to build and automate. Each needs a different engineer, so tell us the work and we match a backend or a data and AI profile.

  • Backend

    For the API behind a mobile or web product, and the codebase it runs on.

    • Extending and speeding up the Python API behind a mobile or web product.
    • Looking after an ageing Django codebase whose original team has left.
    • Turning analysts' notebooks into a production service with tests and monitoring.

  • Data and AI

    For data that has to be collected, cleaned, moved or read by an AI feature.

    • ETL jobs feeding dashboards and reports.
    • Turning scraping and data-cleaning scripts into a reliable pipeline.
    • Automating manual spreadsheet workflows.
    • Adding LLM features such as search, summaries or an assistant over your own documents: see AI and LLM development.

Backend work we built in Django: the web app that moved Metropolitan Anesthesia Consultants' manual credentialing, document compliance and timesheets online, with 80% less manual effort, and the backend in the full IoT ecosystem for Homa's smart atta chakki. Dashboards on top of the data? See dashboards and data visualisation.

03 What to check

What to check in a Python developer, by track

Hold any Python CV against the areas for its track, ours included. The first five are for backend work; the last three are for data and AI work.

The hiring steps every role shares are on the hire hub.

Backend: Python 3 and frameworks
Django and Django REST Framework, with FastAPI or Flask where the job suits them, laid out so the codebase stays readable as it grows.
Backend: async and background jobs
Async code where it pays, and queues for the work that runs outside a request.
Backend: ORM and database design
Models and queries designed for the product's real load, on PostgreSQL or the database you already run.
Backend: typing and tests
Type hints and automated tests that run before every deploy.
Backend: deployment
Containers and cloud deployment, so a release is repeatable rather than done by hand.
Data and AI: processing and scraping
Collecting, cleaning and reshaping data as code that can be rerun, not as one-off scripts.
Data and AI: pipeline reliability
Scheduled pipelines that retry, log and alert, so a failed run is noticed before a report goes out.
Data and AI: LLM APIs and retrieval
Calling LLM APIs and building retrieval over your own documents.

04 Your data

Working with your data when a Python developer needs access

The developer works with your data under your own data rules. The binding version is in the master services agreement.

  1. 01

    Access under your rules

    The developer gets access to your data under your own data rules.

  2. 02

    Accounts you own

    Work happens in accounts you own where possible, so client data stays in them.

  3. 03

    DPDP Act and GDPR

    Work follows India's DPDP Act 2023, and GDPR where it applies.

  4. 04

    A data processing agreement

    A data processing agreement is available.

Billing and the other engagement terms are in the hire terms.

05 FAQ

Questions about hiring Python developers.

Which kind of dedicated Python developer do I need?
Tell us the work, and we match a backend profile for APIs and web apps, or a data and AI profile for pipelines, scraping and LLM features.
Can a Python developer work on our existing Django codebase?
Yes. We start with a code review in the first week, then agree with you what to fix and what to build next.
Do your Python developers work with FastAPI as well as Django?
Yes. We work with Django and Django REST Framework, and with FastAPI or Flask where the job suits them.
Can a Python developer add LLM features to our product?
Yes: LLM integrations are part of the work we do.
How is our data protected when the developer needs access?
The developer works with your data under your own data rules. How access, storage and agreements work is set out in working with your data above.
Can we outsource Python development without handing over the whole project?
Yes. A dedicated Python developer joins your team and works in your codebase. Your lead directs the work, so the developer follows your priorities and your backlog.

06 Request profiles

What should you send when you request Python developer profiles?

Send three things, and we can match a Python developer to your work on the first pass.

  • The system: what it does, and the codebase or a short tour of it.
  • The work: backend, or data and AI, and what is coming up in the backlog.
  • The data access: which databases, pipelines or documents the developer would need.
