Hire a Django Developer in India
Hire a senior Django developer in India. I build production Django/DRF backends, REST APIs, and PostgreSQL systems that scale — remote, IST, international clients welcome.
Looking to hire a Django developer in India? I’m Kuldeep Pisda — a senior backend engineer and former startup CTO based in Bengaluru. For 6+ years I’ve built and run production Django systems: REST APIs, multi-tenant SaaS backends, payment and auth integrations, and the PostgreSQL underneath them — for startups and non-profits, remote, on IST, working comfortably with teams across the world.
What I build with Django
- REST APIs with Django REST Framework — clean serializers, viewsets, permissions, versioning, and the sparse-fieldset patterns that keep responses fast.
- Multi-tenant SaaS — a single Django backend serving many frontends, with proper tenant isolation (I wrote django-rls, a PostgreSQL row-level-security library for exactly this).
- Performance work — turning 30-second endpoints into 200ms ones with
select_related/prefetch_related, real indexes, and query-plan analysis, not guesswork. - Auth, payments, and integrations — Keycloak SSO, payment gateways, and third-party sync pipelines that don’t fall over.
- Background processing — Celery/RabbitMQ with a queue per workload, so a slow job never blocks a payment.
Experience you’re hiring
I’ve scaled a Django platform past 30,000 users on a non-profit budget, rebuilt a headless-CMS product onto Django without a big-bang rewrite, and shipped in-house video streaming and Hindi semantic search on the same backend. The case studies walk through the real decisions and trade-offs. I’m a DjangoCon US and DjangoCon Europe speaker, and I test what I ship (pytest, TDD where it earns its keep).
How engagements work
Short, well-scoped engagements with a written plan and testable milestones — fixed-scope projects, ongoing retainers, or a few hours of architecture review. Remote-first, async-friendly, based in India (IST) and used to overlapping with US and EU hours.
FAQ
Are you available for international clients? Yes — I work remotely with clients in the US, EU, and India, and structure hours to overlap when it matters.
Do you do fixed-scope projects or ongoing work? Both. Some clients want a defined project delivered; others want a senior Django hand on retainer.
Can you work with an existing codebase? Absolutely — a lot of my work is improving, scaling, or migrating existing Django apps, not just greenfield builds.
Do you also handle DevOps and databases? Yes. I own the PostgreSQL layer and can set up the AWS/CI/CD around a Django app — I’ve done founding-SRE work and SOC 2 compliance.
