Hire Python developers for your team in Switzerland

You need code that the next developer can understand and change. We include reviews, tests and documentation in the work.

• Framework choiceA developer should know Django for applications needing an admin and ORM, FastAPI for typed APIs, or Flask for a small service.
• Repeatable environmentsThey use tools such as Poetry or pip with virtual environments and pin dependency versions so builds install the same packages.
• Business-rule testsThey use pytest, fixtures and mocks to check the parts of the code that handle your rules and data.
• Background workThey use a queue such as Celery or RQ for tasks and scheduled jobs, including imports, reports and data syncs.
• Data processingThey use pandas or Polars and recognise when data is too large for memory, moving heavy work into the database or batch jobs.

The developers we provide already work on our client projects. You direct the work, while we include a lead who reviews code and keeps it on track.

1. 01

   Choose the arrangement

   A studio engagement usually moves recruitment, payroll, equipment and cover for absence to the studio. Direct hiring gives you more control and takes longer to set up.

2. 02

   Set priorities

   You control a shared backlog, which we review with you regularly. Put the work you want addressed at the front so there is a clear basis for each review.

3. 03

   Join your workflow

   Developers work in your repository, tickets and stand-ups, with overlap hours agreed up front. We fit into your existing tools and review process.

4. 04

   Get started

   Plan for environment setup, a product and codebase walkthrough, and a small real task that touches the main parts of the system.

5. 05

   Review early

   Keep code review in place from the start. Early reviews establish standards and catch misunderstandings before they become harder to fix.

If your project involves disclosing personal data to India, plan the transfer as part of the work: India is not on the Swiss list of countries with adequate data protection. Recognised standard contractual clauses need adaptation or supplementation for Swiss law where needed. We set up individual accounts with the least permissions needed, starting in staging and adding production access once the review process is in place. Your organisation also needs to check that the recipient can comply with the agreed safeguards.

Give the developer enough direction to start on useful work.

• Prepare a ranked backlog or an initial set of well-described tasks.
• Share your working hours, the overlap you need and the person who will answer questions.
• Write a definition of done covering review rules, expected tests, deployment and approval.
• Arrange individual accounts rather than sharing an admin login, so access can be audited and removed when someone leaves.
