Core capabilities
Django powers Instagram, Pinterest, and Mozilla. The batteries-included Python framework lets teams ship secure, scalable web applications at record speed. Our Django developers build production-grade REST APIs with Django REST Framework, implement complex business logic with the ORM and admin panel, and manage async workflows with Celery. They handle authentication, authorization, and security best practices out of the box. Enhanced with AI tools like Cursor and Copilot, they deliver full-featured backends in weeks, not months. From startup MVPs to enterprise platforms processing millions of requests, our LATAM engineers bring deep Django expertise to your team in your timezone.
Interview questions to ask
Use these questions to evaluate candidates — or let us handle the technical vetting.
How do you handle N+1 query problems in Django?
Expected answer
Use select_related() for ForeignKey and OneToOne relationships (SQL JOIN) and prefetch_related() for ManyToMany and reverse ForeignKey (separate query + Python-side join). Use django-debug-toolbar or django-silk to detect N+1 queries in development. For complex cases, use Prefetch objects with custom querysets. In DRF serializers, override get_queryset() to include the right prefetches for the serializer fields being used.
How would you design a Django REST API that handles 5,000 requests per second?
Expected answer
Database: connection pooling with pgBouncer, read replicas, proper indexing. Caching: Redis for frequently accessed data, per-view cache with Django cache framework. API: pagination for list endpoints, select only needed fields with DRF serializer optimization. Async: offload heavy tasks to Celery workers. Infrastructure: Gunicorn with multiple workers behind nginx, horizontal scaling with load balancer. Consider switching hot paths to async views with Django 5.x ASGI support.
Explain Django's middleware system and give an example of a custom middleware.
Expected answer
Middleware is a hook framework that processes requests and responses globally. Each middleware class has process_request, process_view, process_response, and process_exception hooks. Example: a request timing middleware that records the start time in process_request, calculates duration in process_response, and logs slow requests. Middleware executes in order for requests (top to bottom) and reverse for responses (bottom to top). Modern Django uses the MiddlewareMixin or ASGI-compatible callables.
Common hiring mistakes to avoid
Hiring Django developers who only know the ORM without understanding raw SQL for complex queries and performance optimization.
Not evaluating Django REST Framework experience separately — building APIs requires different skills than building traditional Django views.
Ignoring AI tooling — Django developers using Cursor generate boilerplate code (serializers, views, tests) 40% faster.
