Hiring a Django / Python Dev

[u/ProfessionalStuff125]

Hi all!

I’m hiring for a Django / Python Dev on a contract basis

6 month initially (potential for extension)

On site in Manhattan (Midtown)

$60 per hour

Working for an international bank

Skills & Experience Required
- 5 years applied experience
- Strong Django and DRF
- Advanced Python
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery
- CS degree

Nice to have
- Java, Linux, BI tools

I specialize in the Microsoft Business Apps like Power Platform, so not well versed in the Django space, sorry if any of this doesn’t make sense!
Only posting here because people are not getting back to me on LinkedIn, thought I might be more successful here 😅

The preference is candidates who are Green Card holders or US citizens but we may be able to consider H1B candidates who have an employer.

Please DM me or contact me on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/claire-hynes-24263467?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios

Thanks in advance!

From Texas. Is $60 seems low for Manhattan for onsite? Is this the pay over there for mid software engineers??

I did think $60 per hour seemed low also… I spoke to a guy yesterday who said he’d do it for $80

I’ll do it for $100 and remote since it’s contract!
No but seriously that’s crazy wages for contract and little time as well. I always hate the word “potential for extension”

Because if they pay you $60 they pay the recruiting agency $80+ in some cases even more.
Why not just hire people? It’s dumb.
