What they do

APIs, data pipelines, and the language the AI era runs on.

01

API engineering

FastAPI and Django services with typed models, async where it pays, and OpenAPI contracts by default.

02

Data & pipelines

ETL/ELT, scraping, queues and scheduled workloads — Python as the glue of the data estate.

03

AI-adjacent engineering

LLM integrations, RAG plumbing and evaluation harnesses — the Python work every AI product needs behind the demo.

04

Automation & tooling

Internal tools and automations that remove manual hours across ops and engineering.

Use cases

What teams hire Python developers for.

Python spans web, data and AI — the most versatile single hire on this list. For heavy AI product work, step up to the dedicated AI engineer role; for warehouse-scale plumbing, see data engineering.

01

Product APIs

FastAPI/Django services with typed contracts — often behind AI-era features.

02

Data & integration pipelines

The glue between SaaS tools, warehouses and internal systems.

03

AI feature plumbing

LLM integrations, RAG and evals — Python is where that work lives.

Stack & seniority

What's on the bench.

Mid to senior, with a fast-growing AI-adjacent segment — Python is where our classic bench and AI-native bench overlap most.

Rates & engagement

Three ways to engage Python developers.

FT

Dedicated full-time

One specialist, embedded in your team, your standups and your tools — the classic direct model. Most placements run this way for a year or longer.

PT

Part-time fraction

Two or three days a week for maintenance-grade or advisory work — you keep senior capability without paying for idle hours.

POD

Inside a pod

For outcome-scoped delivery, the specialist joins one of our implementation pods — priced on the result, not the hours.

What moves the rate: seniority, ecosystem scarcity (an architect-level profile prices differently than a generalist), and how long the engagement runs. For context, Dutch IT detachering averages about €65–150 per hour (ITRC, 2026); the direct nearshore model usually undercuts comparable local seniority meaningfully, since no layered agencies take margin. Exact all-in rates come with your shortlist in the intro call.

The process

From brief to onboarded in four moves.

Brief us

A 30-minute intake: the role, the stack, the team it lands in, the timeline it has to hit.

Meet your matches

Two to three vetted Python developers from our 400K+ European network — within days.

Interview and choose

You run the interviews and make the call. No pressure, no bench we need to empty.

Start within two weeks

Contracts and onboarding handled. A 60-day trial period, so the risk stays with us.

FAQ

Hiring Python developers, answered.

Where they sit

Your Python developers work from our network across the Netherlands, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Poland and Bulgaria — all CET ±1, all fluent English (C1), all contracted and payrolled by Probegin so compliance stays our problem, not yours.

Netherlands · HQUkraineHungaryRomaniaPolandBulgaria
Can your Python developers work on AI features?

Yes — LLM integrations, RAG pipelines and evals are increasingly standard Python work. For agentic products end to end, see our dedicated AI engineer role.

Django or FastAPI?

Both are well represented. Django for batteries-included products and admin-heavy systems; FastAPI for typed, async APIs. We match to your codebase.

Do they cover data engineering?

Pipeline-grade Python (Celery, Airflow, dbt-adjacent work) is on the bench; for warehouse-scale work we staff dedicated data engineers.

How fast can a Python developer start?

Profiles within days, start within two weeks, 60-day trial as standard.

Django or FastAPI for a new build?

Django when admin, auth and CRUD dominate; FastAPI for typed, async, API-first services. Both are first-class on the bench — the intro call settles it against your roadmap in ten minutes.

How does the 60-day trial period work?

The first 60 days are the proof: if the match isn't right, you say so and the placement ends without long-term obligation — or we replace the profile from the network. Most trials convert; the ones that don't cost you a conversation, not a contract.

Can we scale from one developer to a team?

Yes — that's the normal growth path. Many clients start with a single specialist and expand to two or five as the roadmap demands, keeping one contract and one point of contact at Probegin. Scaling down is equally simple, with reasonable notice instead of penalty clauses.

Who handles contracts, payroll and compliance?

Probegin does. You get one Dutch counterparty and one invoice; employment, payroll and cross-border compliance for the specialist are our responsibility. That structure also keeps you clear of freelance-classification risk under Dutch rules.
