Backend

Hire Python developers for whatever the backend actually turns out to be.

General-purpose Python, APIs, data pipelines, automation, and the glue code every product needs, for teams that need a strong Python generalist first and can go deeper on Django, Flask, or ML tooling once the shape of the problem is clear.

Why hire through Code Elevator
Generalist, deliberately. We vet for range (API work, scripting, data handling), because most Python hires need to move across all three in a given month, not specialize in one on day one.
Typed by habit. Type hints and Pydantic models used as a matter of course, so a Python codebase catches mistakes before runtime, not after a customer report.
Knows when to hand off to a specialist. Every candidate can tell you honestly when a task needs a Django, Flask, or ML specialist instead. We'd rather route you correctly than stretch a generalist past their depth.
Typical rate

Questions

Answered before you ask.

If you already know the framework and just need hands, hire the specialist. If you're still scoping the build (or the work spans API, scripting, and data), a strong generalist is the faster, cheaper starting point, and we can bring in framework depth once the shape is clear.

Internal tools, automation scripts, data pipelines, and APIs where the framework choice isn't the hard part, the logic and integration work is.

Often. Yes, at a small-to-mid scale, Python's ecosystem spans both comfortably. Past a certain data volume we'd point you toward a dedicated data engineer instead, and say so plainly.

Yes. Asyncio and async frameworks like FastAPI are common enough now that we screen for engineers who understand event loops and don't accidentally block one.

What you're not risking

Every way out of this hire is already written down.

Two-week replacement

Not a fit? Replace anyone in the first two weeks. No questions asked, no replacement fee. We re-match from the same vetted pool.

No placement fee

You pay only for engineers who actually start. Seeing candidates costs nothing.

No lock-in

Dedicated and managed engagements run on a monthly rolling contract. Cancel with notice.

Rate agreed up front

You see the number before you commit. Nothing is added on top of it later.
