HIRE PYTHON DEVELOPERS

Python developer roles and responsibilities

When you hire a full-stack developer for the job, you can expect everything – right from the start to finish of app development. A full-stack Python developer has proven expertise in frontend and backend technologies. The developer can take charge of the complete app/web development on your behalf – from managing, planning, and developing software & software products. When you decide to hire Python developers, you will typically have these three options – junior, middle, and senior Python developers. Here’s what to expect from all three.

Junior, middle, and senior Python developers

A Python developer with experience level anywhere between 0 and 2 years is considered junior. The skills you should expect from a junior Python developer include Python syntax, data structures, and SQL knowledge, basic CVS skills, and prior experience working with any popular web framework. The developer, in short, should be able to develop a simple app from scratch. Experience of working on a Python project under the guidance of senior developers would add to the skills of a junior developer.

A middle Python developer is someone with experience ranging from 3 years to 6 years. Typically, a mid-level Python developer should possess sound knowledge of object oriented design, coding, and testing, besides experience with creating Big Data solutions and significant experience in software development using Python. A middle Python developer should also have experience in developing and maintaining commercial and/or open source software platforms. Knowledge of cloud computing (such as AWS) service is considered an added advantage.

A senior Python developer is someone with 6+ years of relevant experience. Skills set to expect from a senior Python developer include proven expertise in coding complex logic in Python, knowledge of ORM (object-relational mapper), and frontend technologies like JavaScript, CSS3, and HTML5. When you hire Python developer of senior level, you would expect your developer to have experience in data visualization tools including Qlik & Tableau, and Query languages such as SQL, HIVE, and SAS. An experienced senior Python developer should also have exposure to cloud computing services like AWS and other skills such as knowledge of Big Data technologies and strong unit testing & debugging skills besides a clear understanding of Python’s threading limitations.

When to hire a freelance Python developer?

You should hire a freelance Python developer if your project requirement is too short to have a full-fledged team of developers work for you. Freelance Python developers would be your best bet in projects that are small, don’t require much time to complete, and have set time-frames and clear requirements. You can hire Python freelance developers for projects that don’t require long-term cooperation. If you have an existing project that requires expert help but you don’t want to hire Python developer on a full time basis or outsource the job to an IT service provider in another country, you must consider hiring freelance Python developers. Thanks to the availability of online platforms, these days, it is no longer a challenge to hire Python developers in your own country or in the other part of the world at the most reasonable cost.

When to form an in-house Python development team?

Outsourcing Python development or giving out the task to freelance developers is considered a better option by most startups and mid-sized companies. Hire Python developers and build an in-house team only if you believe it is going to be viable and worth it. We believe your startup idea is viable when the product/service you launched starts receiving traction and good response from customers, investors, and potential customers. Viability is an indication of the possibilities of success in your business and increased chances of monetization and profitability in the future.

You should hire dedicated Python developers, QA experts, testers, and other staff to build an in-house Python development team. Of course, this strategy isn’t best for all startups and the decision to have an in-house team or not will depend on your business model, available funds, and growth potential of your business. Mid-sized companies can benefit from hiring full-time Python developers and other staff members if they have projects that need complex business logic, constant coordination/cooperation, and communication between the developers and departments.

The biggest advantage of employing full-time, in-house developers is the ease of coordination, better project knowledge, and accessibility. However, to enjoy these advantages, you should be ready to pay monthly fixed salaries, maintain the office infrastructure, focus on hiring, training, and educating employees from time to time.

When to hire an outsourcing company?

Hiring IT outsourcing companies is the best bet for the startups and businesses looking for a faster and cost-effect way to have their iOS apps developed. You have two options when you choose to hire an outsourcing company for the job and they include:

• Hire iOS developer(s) and pay on an hourly basis. When you hire a developer on an hourly basis, you are responsible for taking care of managing that developer or team of developers. This means you will have to train and guide the developer in case there is any issue in the project and others take care of other management aspects besides, of course, managing their payrolls.
• You hire the outsourcing firm and share your iOS app development requirements with them and from there they take all your stresses away. All you will be required to do is pay them on project basis and rest they will manage. This approach has no headaches and hassles for you.`
