What we test for
Typical work
- APIs and backends in Django or FastAPI
- Data pipelines and scheduled jobs
- Integrations with third-party APIs
- Hardening scripts into tested services
The coding test
Build a small FastAPI or Django endpoint with a background task and tests in pytest, then fix a data bug in a pipeline step. Scored on readability, tests and data handling.
Inside Python
The ones people search for by name get a page of their own, with their own coding test and interview questions.
Five interview questions you can reuse
We use questions like these in our soft-skills and technical rounds. Steal them for your own interviews.
When do you pick FastAPI over Django, and the reverse?
A strong answer covers: Admin, ORM and batteries versus async-first APIs; the team's experience matters as much as the framework.
How do you make a scheduled job safe to run twice?
A strong answer covers: Idempotent writes, locks or unique keys, checkpoints, and alerts when it fails.
How do you test code that calls an external API?
A strong answer covers: Wrap the client, fake it in unit tests, contract or recorded tests for the edge, never hit production.
What do type hints buy you in a large code base?
A strong answer covers: Earlier errors with mypy or pyright, safer refactors, better editor help; not runtime validation.
A pipeline produced wrong numbers. How do you debug it?
A strong answer covers: Reproduce with the same input, check each step's output, add data checks, fix and backfill.
