What does a Django developer do?

A Django developer builds web applications and APIs using Django, typically with DRF for REST APIs, Celery for background work, and Postgres as the primary database. Strong Django developers leverage the ORM without shooting themselves in the foot, write fast tests with fixtures, and deploy with sensible caching and observability.

Why Django is a strong choice for modern engineering teams

•Batteries-included — auth, admin, ORM, migrations, forms out of the box.
•Excellent fit for content-heavy products and internal tooling.
•Mature ORM with complex query support and honest raw-SQL escape hatches.
•Huge ecosystem: DRF, Celery, django-allauth, django-rest-framework-simplejwt, many more.
•Still one of the fastest ways to go from idea to production for small teams.

Skills to look for when you hire Django developers

Modern Django

Class-based views, middleware, signals, typed settings, and async views where they fit.

DRF

Serializers, viewsets, permissions, throttling, versioning.

ORM depth

Prefetching, select_related, indexing, QuerySet composition, raw SQL where needed.

Celery

Task design, retries, idempotency, Redis or RabbitMQ as broker.

Postgres

JSONB, CTEs, migration strategy, connection pooling.

Testing

pytest-django, factory-boy, coverage targets, and fast-ish suites.

Caching

Django cache framework with Redis; fragment caching and cache invalidation strategies.

Deployment

Gunicorn or uvicorn, Docker, a real observability stack.

Frequently asked questions

Do SquadXP developers work on US business hours?▾

Yes. We match every hire to your required timezone overlap — full US hours, split coverage, or async-first, depending on your brief.

How fast can I hire a Django developer through SquadXP?▾

You'll get the first pre-vetted candidate CV within 24 hours of the intake call. Most clients finalise a Django hire within 48 hours and onboard within the same week.

What if the first hire doesn't work out?▾

You have a 7-day replacement window, no questions asked. We'll start sending replacements the moment you flag it — no invoices, no friction.

Can I hire Django developers across US, UK and EU timezones?▾

Yes. Our network spans multiple regions, so we can match any timezone overlap requirement — from full US hours to split UK/EU coverage.

Is this contract, full-time, or project-based?▾

All three. We support short-term projects, long-term contracts, and contract-to-hire. Most clients start with a 3-month engagement and extend.

Do you handle payroll, compliance, and NDAs?▾

Yes. SquadXP handles contracts, NDAs, payroll, tax compliance, and invoicing. You get a single monthly invoice and don't have to manage any local entity.

How do you protect IP and sensitive data?▾

Standard NDAs are in place before any candidate sees your brief. We follow NDA, HIPAA-aligned, and ISO 27001 processes. All engineers work on dedicated, encrypted machines.

Can SquadXP build a full Django team, not just one hire?▾

Yes. If you need a team (Django engineers + supporting roles like DevOps or QA), we source as a unit, including a team lead, and onboard them together.

Can your Django developers also handle DRF-heavy API work?▾

Yes. Most of our Django bench is DRF-first. Tell us the API surface and we'll match.

Is Django or FastAPI the right choice for a greenfield API?▾

It depends — Django is still faster for CRUD-heavy apps with admin needs. FastAPI wins for async-heavy, type-strict services. We can help you decide.
