Hire a Python developer who builds systems— not scripts.
Dedicated Python engineers for backend services, data pipelines, and AI/ML applications. Embedded in your team, working your hours.
01 · What this role does on your team
Embedded in your team, owning real production work.
- Builds backend services with Django, FastAPI, or Flask — REST APIs, async workers, task queues
- Designs data pipelines — ETL/ELT, data warehousing, analytics backends with Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Airflow
- Implements AI/ML features — model integration, LLM API orchestration, RAG pipelines, data preprocessing
- Writes clean, tested, maintainable Python — type hints, pytest, linting, CI/CD integration
- Manages database interactions — PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, query optimization, migrations
02 · What we vet for
We accept the top 2% — and we vet specifically.
-
Production Python applications — not Jupyter notebooks or Kaggle scripts
-
Framework depth — Django ORM patterns, FastAPI dependency injection, async Python understanding
-
Data engineering skills where needed — Airflow DAGs, ETL pipeline design, data quality monitoring
-
Code quality standards — type annotations, test coverage expectations, documentation habits
-
Understanding of Python's limitations — GIL, memory management, when to reach for Go or Rust
