Role details
What does a dedicated Django Developer do?
A Django developer at Codalyst Tech builds data-driven Python backends using Django's ORM, admin framework, and extensive middleware ecosystem. They design database schemas that support complex query patterns, write Django REST Framework serialisers that keep API contracts clean across versions, and operate Celery workers that process background jobs reliably at scale. Django's batteries-included philosophy suits their approach: they leverage the framework's established conventions rather than reinventing plumbing, reserving custom solutions for where the framework genuinely falls short.
- Design and maintain Django REST Framework APIs with viewsets, serialisers, permissions, and versioned URL routing
- Optimise Django querysets with select_related, prefetch_related, annotated aggregations, and django-debug-toolbar query analysis
- Configure Celery Beat for scheduled jobs: report generation, webhook retries, and async email queues with dead-letter handling
- Customise Django admin with advanced filters, bulk action handlers, and inline relationship editors for operations teams
- Harden Django for production: ALLOWED_HOSTS, CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS, SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER, and WhiteNoise static file serving
- Write DRF test cases using APIClient with factory fixtures, request mocking, and Http mock for external service isolation
Scope of work
What your Django Developer will build
- Multi-model REST APIs with Django REST Framework: serialisers, viewsets, permissions, and versioned URL routing for mobile and web consumers
- Background task processing with Celery Beat: scheduled reports, webhook retries, and async email queues with dead-letter handling
- Django admin customisations with advanced filtering, bulk actions, and inline relationship editors for internal operations teams
- Data-heavy read APIs backed by PostgreSQL with optimised querysets, database-level aggregations, and Redis caching layers
Vetting process
How we screen Django Developer candidates
Django ORM optimisation
Identifies N+1 queries with django-debug-toolbar, uses select_related and prefetch_related correctly, and writes annotated querysets for complex aggregations.
DRF serialiser design
Writes read-optimised serialisers separate from write serialisers, validates cross-field constraints in validate(), and handles nested relationships without extra queries.
Signals discipline
Avoids business logic in signals. Knows when signals cause hard-to-trace bugs and uses explicit service calls for predictable side effects.
Production security configuration
Hardens Django settings for production: SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER, ALLOWED_HOSTS, CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS, and static files via WhiteNoise or S3.
Interview guidance
Interview questions to ask your Django Developer
How would you export 500,000 database rows to CSV without timing out or running out of memory?
Why ask: Tests streaming responses, queryset iteration with iterator(), and file streaming via Django's FileResponse.
How do you handle schema migrations safely in a Django app running on multiple servers behind a load balancer?
Why ask: Reveals migration strategy: backwards-compatible migrations, deployment ordering, and rollback procedures.
Walk me through how you'd implement row-level permissions where User A cannot read User B's data.
Why ask: Tests object-level permissions with django-guardian or custom manager filtering approaches.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does it cost to hire a Django developer from Pakistan?
- Dedicated Django developers through Codalyst Tech cost USD 1,400–2,600/month full-time, compared to USD 5,500–7,500/month in the UK or Australia.
- Can your Django developers build and maintain REST APIs?
- Yes. Django REST Framework (DRF) is our standard for building RESTful APIs in Django — including serialiser design, permissions, throttling, versioning, and OpenAPI schema generation with drf-spectacular.
- Do your Django developers know Celery and async task processing?
- Yes. Celery with Redis or RabbitMQ is standard for our Django developers when projects require background jobs, scheduled tasks, email queues, or webhook processing.
- Can your Django developers handle large-scale data migrations?
- Yes. Database migrations are a Django strength — our developers manage schema evolution, data migrations, zero-downtime strategies using multi-phase migrations, and PostgreSQL-specific optimisations for large tables.
