Hire Django Developers
Django has a deep, mature pool, but most of it clusters at the tutorial end: people who scaffolded a CRUD app, leaned on the admin, and never had to make the ORM behave under load. The engineers you actually want are the ones who have run Django REST Framework in production and know where it gets slow. The real risk when hiring here is the ORM. It makes the easy things trivial and quietly hides N+1 queries, missing indexes, and migrations that lock a live table until someone profiles the thing in staging.
What to look for
Look for query awareness: casual use of select_related and prefetch_related, knowing when to drop to raw SQL, and reading what the ORM actually emits instead of trusting it. On the API side, ask how they structure DRF serializers and viewsets once the models stop being simple, and whether they have run anything on Celery. The tell worth probing is migrations: ask about a schema change they shipped against a large production table and how they avoided downtime. Anyone who has felt that pain will have a specific story about a lock, a backfill, or a rollback.

- How does codercops vet Django developers?
