Get Django Developers
Backend engineers from Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia who build Django REST APIs and full-stack applications. They know the ORM deeply, structure projects for maintainability, and ship to production with proper test coverage.
LATAM Django engineers cost 40-60% less than US equivalents. Senior engineers who command $150k in the US are available at $65k-$95k from Brazil or Argentina.
Brazil is UTC-3, Colombia UTC-5. You get meaningful daily overlap with US East Coast and Central teams — enough for code reviews, async standups, and PR turnaround.
Django REST work involves API design discussions, spec reviews, and integration documentation. LATAM Python developers are comfortable with technical English in all of these.
Brazilian and Argentine universities produce strong CS graduates with solid Python foundations. Django expertise often comes alongside data engineering, ML infrastructure, or scientific computing experience.
LATAM tech startups — especially in fintech and healthtech — run heavily on Django. Developers here have built multi-tenant SaaS platforms, payment integrations, and high-traffic REST APIs.
Every candidate completes all five stages before you see their profile. You can also run your own technical round after our screening.
A timed test measuring analytical thinking, pattern recognition, and problem-solving clarity, independent of specific programming language knowledge.
A structured interview assessing communication style, conflict resolution, ownership mindset, and English proficiency in a professional context.
A 90-minute live session covering Django ORM queries — including complex annotations, prefetch_related vs select_related decisions, and migration writing. Candidates design and partially implement a REST API using DRF or Django Ninja, including serializer validation, custom permissions, and viewset structure. We cover Celery task design for a realistic async job, and review a given code snippet for N+1 issues, missing indexes, or poor serializer structure. The session ends with a discussion of how they test Django views, background tasks, and external service integrations.
Verification of work history, education, and identity with written consent, aligned with applicable privacy rules including LGPD where relevant.
We speak with at least two professional references who worked with the candidate in an engineering context, not personal contacts.
After our screening, you can optionally run your own technical round before making an offer.

Django developers in our network don't just write views and serializers. They think about query efficiency, test coverage, and how the system will behave under load. They use AI tools to handle the scaffolding so they can focus on architecture.
GitHub Copilot and Cursor for serializer generation, test case scaffolding, and migration writing. Routine Django tasks that used to consume half a day are done in minutes.
AI-assisted docstring and API documentation generation from existing code. Useful on projects where the codebase outgrew its docs.
They write integration tests for Celery tasks, external API calls, and permission boundaries — not just happy-path unit tests.
Clear PR descriptions with links to the relevant requirements. They document design decisions and performance tradeoffs in comments, not just in Slack.
They push back on scope changes that would break API contracts or introduce unnecessary complexity. Ownership means saying no when it matters.
