Django engineers who know the ORM, the cache layer and where the foot-guns hide.
- Django + DRF APIs serving mobile and web clients
- Server-rendered Django apps with HTMX or Alpine.js

Side-by-side hiring data for Django and Flask - salary bands, ecosystem skills, what each engineer actually ships, and how to brief Haystack for either.
Django engineers who know the ORM, the cache layer and where the foot-guns hide.
Flask developers who keep APIs lean without recreating a framework.
Both Django and Flask have active talent pools on Haystack. We see first shortlists for Django and Flask land within 24 hours of kick-off, with the median Django hire closing in 14-21 days alongside comparable Flask roles.
Mid-level Django engineers anchor around £65k–£85k UK base, with seniors reaching £90k–£130k. Flask engineers sit around £60k–£80k mid and £85k–£125k senior. German bands run 5-20% higher in EUR and US bands 40-50% higher in USD.
For Django we look for working experience with Python, DRF, Celery. For Flask the equivalents are Python, SQLAlchemy, Alembic. Both ecosystems get surfaced on every Haystack profile so you can filter on exact tooling.
Often yes - particularly when both stacks live in the same category (Backend vs Backend). On Haystack we let you require both as primary or secondary skills; senior generalists typically carry one as their main stack and one as supporting.
Pick on hiring depth, your team's current strengths and the ecosystem fit. Django suits django + drf apis serving mobile and web clients; Flask suits lean json apis powering web and mobile apps. We can shortlist both in parallel so you can interview against the same brief.
Yes - the full ladder from junior through staff/principal in both Django and Flask. The kick-off call captures the level and shipped-work bar you need, and shortlists are filtered accordingly.
