Hire Python developers for production back ends
Our Python developers build back ends with FastAPI, SQLAlchemy and Alembic on PostgreSQL, with typed request models, database migrations under version control and tests run with pytest. They also write the jobs around an app: scheduled imports, document processing and the scripts that keep data clean.
Python projects from our work
- Pharmacovigilance literature screening: a weekly Python pipeline that acquires, extracts, classifies and exports search results, on FastAPI, PostgreSQL and AWS Fargate
- Pharma inbox automation: a FastAPI service that routes enterprise safety mail into folders through Microsoft Outlook, with an audit trail per email
- A multi-account AWS platform for a pharma enterprise customer, written in Python AWS CDK across dev, stage and prod
- Procurement automation for a US enterprise automaker: Python on AWS serverless, preparing and validating data before SAP and Coupa ingestion
- DecoverAI: Python services behind a legal AI platform's search over case documents
Python for data and automation
A lot of Python work is not an app at all. It is the pipeline that turns a supplier's spreadsheet into clean records, the job that reads an inbox and files each email, or the script that reconciles two systems every night. We build these with logging, retries and a record of every run, so when a number looks wrong you can see where it came from.
Hire Django developers
Our recent Python back ends use FastAPI rather than Django, and we would rather say so than claim otherwise. Django and FastAPI share the language, the ORM ideas and the deployment patterns, so our engineers can work in a Django codebase. If you need a Django specialist to lead a large Django project, tell us on the call and we will say whether we have the right person.
Python and AI work
Python is also the language of most AI work: model calls, retrieval, evaluation sets and fine-tuning. If the main job is an AI feature rather than a Python back end, our dedicated AI engineers page covers that kind of hiring and its terms.
Python developer rates
- Junior Python developer, $20/hr: scripts, endpoints, data clean-up and tests
- Mid-level Python developer, $25 to $30/hr: FastAPI services, pipelines, integrations and code review
- Senior Python developer, $30+/hr: architecture, data models, infrastructure as code and technical lead work
Minimum 80 hours a month, 2 weeks' notice to change hours, invoiced in USD.

Frequently asked questions
At Apex36, junior Python developers are $20/hr, mid-level $25 to $30/hr and senior from $30/hr, with a minimum of 80 hours a month.
Our recent Python work uses FastAPI, not Django. Our engineers can work in a Django codebase; for a project that needs a Django specialist to lead it, we will tell you honestly on the first call whether we can staff it.
FastAPI for APIs, SQLAlchemy and Alembic for databases, pytest for tests and AWS CDK in Python for infrastructure. Data jobs are plain Python with logging and retries.
Yes. We have built Python pipelines that prepare procurement data for SAP and Coupa and a weekly literature-screening pipeline for pharmacovigilance work.
