How much does it cost to hire a Python developer?

Python developers sit within our EUR 35-55/hour band depending on seniority and specialisation, billed transparently per month. For Italian, EU and US companies that is typically 30-60% below an equivalent Western-European hire.

How fast can a Python developer start?

We usually present a vetted shortlist within about a week and embed the engineer in 2-3 weeks. If you need a narrow specialisation — heavy data engineering, or a regulated domain — matching can take longer, and we tell you that upfront.

Do your Python developers do web backends or machine learning?

Primarily web backends, APIs, integrations and data pipelines. For LLM, RAG and retrieval work we staff AI engineers instead. If a brief sits outside what we can staff well, we say so rather than stretching a CV to fit.
