What our clients have said about working with Nexus IT Group
Our client creates balance between existing investments and cloud-driven innovation with a practical approach that prioritizes results. This particular client tasked our cloud recruiters with a challenging project. Being named Google Cloud Partner of the Year, this recognition required them to increase their Google Cloud Architect and Engineering resources. Google Cloud talent is quite a bit more scarce than AWS and demand more salary, so our cloud recruiters had to get creative with our sourcing strategy. Reach out to learn how we filled 13 Google Cloud professionals for this client.
A 3 year old startup who is transforming insurance buying by providing a digital insurance engine and world-class underwriting capabilities tasked Nexus IT group to identify, vet, and hire a Head of Data Engineering for the data engineering group. Our data scientist recruiters quickly got on this executive level search. Diversity sourcing and hiring was very important for this client so the team focused on diversity sourcing. We ended up sourcing 176 candidates, submitted six candidates and the client ended up hiring one candidate.

Frequently asked questions about hiring your next Python developer
When hiring a Python developer, key skills to look for include proficiency in Python syntax and language features, familiarity with common Python libraries and frameworks (e.g., NumPy, Pandas, Django, Flask), experience in software design and architecture, problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and strong communication and collaboration skills. Depending on the role, additional skills in areas like data analysis, machine learning, web development, or automation may also be valuable.
Prior work experience is very important for Python developer roles. Candidates with 2-5 years of relevant experience in building and maintaining real-world Python applications are typically ideal. This experience allows them to hit the ground running, understand software development best practices, and bring practical problem-solving skills to the table.
Both a computer science degree and Python-specific certifications can be valuable for Python developer roles. A computer science degree provides a strong foundation in computer science principles, algorithms, and software engineering, which are applicable to Python development. However, Python-specific certifications, such as the Certified Associate in Python Programming (PCAP) or the Certified Professional in Python Programming (PCPP), can also demonstrate a candidate’s in-depth knowledge of the language and its ecosystems.
Some common interview questions for Python developer candidates include:
Explain the differences between lists, tuples, and sets in Python, and when you would use each.
How would you implement a custom iterator or generator in Python?
Can you walk me through the process of profiling and optimizing a Python script for performance?
Describe your experience with Python’s built-in modules and popular third-party libraries.
How would you approach designing a Python-based application architecture to ensure scalability and maintainability?
Staying up-to-date with the latest Python language features and ecosystem is crucial for Python developers. Python is a rapidly evolving language, with new versions and features being released regularly. Effective Python developers are those who are proactive about learning new language constructs, libraries, and best practices to deliver innovative solutions.
Python developer candidates should have a portfolio of personal or professional projects that showcase their Python programming skills, problem-solving abilities, and experience with different libraries and frameworks. This can include web applications, data analysis and visualization projects, automation scripts, machine learning models, or other Python-based applications that demonstrate their technical expertise and passion for the language.
Soft skills are just as important as technical skills for Python developers. Effective communication, teamwork, adaptability, and the ability to translate technical concepts into business-friendly language are all crucial for success in the role. Candidates should be able to demonstrate their ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, provide clear explanations of their work, and contribute to a positive team culture.
Some common challenges when managing a team of Python developers include:
Ensuring consistent coding practices and adherence to Pythonic principles
Coordinating the deployment and maintenance of Python-based applications
Addressing any performance or scalability issues that may arise
Keeping the team up-to-date with the latest Python language features and ecosystem changes
Aligning the team’s work with the organization’s broader technology strategy
To assess a Python developer’s problem-solving abilities, you can present them with coding challenges or hypothetical scenarios that require them to demonstrate their analytical thinking, creativity, and ability to break down complex problems. This could include things like:
Asking them to write a Python script to solve a specific algorithmic problem
Presenting them with a performance issue or bug in a Python-based application and having them walk through their debugging process
Giving them an open-ended business problem and asking them to propose a Python-based solution
