If your backend is slow, your APIs keep breaking under load, or your AI features feel bolted on instead of built in, that's usually where I come in. I build Django and FastAPI backends on AWS for SaaS and AI products that need to stay fast under real user load, not just pass a demo. Most of my work is either fixing slow APIs and deployment bottlenecks or shipping new backend features (REST APIs, async jobs, LLM/RAG integrations) for teams that outgrew their first architecture. I'm a senior Python backend developer based in India, with 8+ years, top-rated, and 100% job success. What I work on day to day: ★ REST APIs and backend services (Django/DRF, FastAPI, Flask when it fits) ★ Cloud deployments on AWS: EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, Docker, CI/CD pipelines ★ Async and background jobs: Celery, Redis, RabbitMQ for queues, reports, notifications ★ AI and LLM integration: RAG workflows, chatbots, automation pipelines (OpenAI, Gemini, Grok APIs; not just prompt wrappers) ★ Backend refactoring: slow queries, messy codebases, deployments that break every release ★ Microservices where it makes sense: not microservices for the sake of it A few projects I've led or built recently: Astrosure.ai: AI-powered astrology platform from scratch. I led the backend: Django and FastAPI services, birth chart processing, dosha/dasha rules, and the Agastyaa chatbot with LLM integration. Deployed on AWS with Docker and CI/CD on EKS. HerKey (herkey .com): India's largest career platform for women. Built scalable APIs for job matching, session booking, and notifications. Django REST Framework, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes on AWS. We cut incident triage time by around 40% after improving monitoring and deployment flow. Riyaah (riyaah.sa): Beauty e-commerce platform in Saudi Arabia. Backend for product catalog, orders, and payment flows. Django, PostgreSQL, AWS. Before Upwork, I worked with Capgemini (banking/ANZ), Flooid, Keuro Digital, and Bricksteel, mostly backend, team lead, and client-facing delivery. I also run Sparkscribe Technologies for larger or long-term engagements where you need more than one developer. On Upwork you work with me directly. For larger scopes, I may involve senior developers from my company under my technical lead, only with your approval and with me owning architecture and delivery. How I usually work with clients: I keep communication straightforward, regular updates, and clear ETAs, with no disappearing mid-sprint. I've managed small teams (up to 10 devs), done code reviews, and set up CI/CD and monitoring so releases don't turn into firefights. Most of my Upwork clients mention responsiveness and clean delivery in their reviews. If you need someone who can own the backend end-to-end architecture, APIs, cloud, AI integration, and production stability, send me a message with a short description of what you're building. I'll reply with honest thoughts on scope and how I'd approach it.

𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 | 𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 | 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆 You have a visionary SaaS or AI product idea. You don't want to manage a scattered team of backend developers, DevOps engineers, and ML specialists, and you definitely don't want to micromanage tasks. You need a single, accountable technical partner to architect the system, solve the hard problems, and turn your idea into a scalable reality. I’m a Computer Science grad (first-class), but I don't just live in the theory. I combine a heavy academic background in math, stats, and ML with fast, practical execution. I don't just write code. I take ownership of the whole project: the design, the architecture, and the infrastructure. 🧠 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺: When you hand me a prototype, an MVP, or even just a wireframe, my first step is mapping the architecture. I am a natural problem solver, so I look at the big picture first. I treat your product like a business asset and focus on the hard realities: 🔹 Can we launch the MVP faster to validate the market? 🔹 Does it do exactly what your users need? 🔹 Is the AWS bill optimized, or are we burning money? 🔹 Will it crash if traffic spikes tomorrow? 🔹 Is your proprietary data actually secure? 🔹 If a server dies, is the database instantly recoverable? 📈 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀 & 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿: 🔹 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Recently, completely re-architected a system to handle 𝟰𝟬𝘅 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 while achieving a 𝟳𝟬% 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 on cloud spending. 🔹 𝗔𝗜-𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗮𝗦 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: I use my deep learning research experience to build secure, private LLM and RAG pipelines tailored to your business data. 🔹 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 (𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗢𝗽𝘀): I architect zero-downtime CI/CD pipelines and configure AWS/GCP environments so you can ship features fast. 🔹 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀: I engineer high-performance backends (Django, Node) that won't crash when your user base scales. 🤝𝗠𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲: I work best with founders and small teams who need a leader. You bring the business problem and the priorities — what matters next and why. I own the rest: the architecture, how the work gets broken down, and the delivery. I run it in focused sprints against agreed goals, with async updates and a call when a real decision needs one — so you get momentum without daily standups eating your week. When you hire me, you are not buying hours of typing, or a developer to assign tickets to. You are buying the judgment, speed, and technical leadership required to win — and a clean, production-ready product handed back to you. Let's look at your system and get it running right.

How to Hire Top Django Developers

What is a Django developer?

Django is a high-level, MVC-style, open-source collection of libraries written in Python and one of the most popular server-side web frameworks available. Django developers offer extensive knowledge of related software and web development in addition to programming experience, strong analytical skills, customer service experience, and familiarity with common programming resources.

How do you hire a Django developer?

You can source Django developers on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a Django developer.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview Django developers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of Django developer you need to complete your project.

How much does it cost to hire a Django developer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced Django developer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their Django development services more competitively.

Rates typically charged by Django developers on Upwork are:

  • Beginner: $20 per hour
  • Intermediate: $39 per hour
  • Advanced: $125 per hour

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write a Django developer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample Django developer job post titles:

  • Django-Python developer needed for fintech project
  • Full-stack developer wanted for education start-up
  • Expert developer who knows Django needed for front- and back-end programming

Project description

An effective Django developer job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From integrating data storage solutions to implementing RESTful API design, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, types of projects, or environments, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Django developer job responsibilities

Here are some examples of Django developer job responsibilities:

  • Design and develop company-impacting services using open-source and commercial technologies at scale
  • Manage a variety of projects that vary in size and scope 
  • Interact with remote engineers to add features and fix potential issues

Django developer job requirements and qualifications

Be sure to include any requirements and qualifications you’re looking for in a Django developer. Here are some examples:

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or related discipline
  • Analytical skills and data structure/algorithm fundamentals
  • Proven expertise in GitHub/Bitbucket
