Why Python programmers are so in demand in the market

Digitization and the introduction of innovations are one of the main trends in business in recent years. Companies in a variety of niches are looking to automate processes, improve customer interactions, and improve data-driven decision-making accuracy. The Python language is ideal for solving all these tasks.

Here are the top 5 reasons why companies choose Python development:

• Rapid product development and launch . Thanks to a large number of ready-made libraries and frameworks that support the language, companies can quickly bring software to the market, saving time and development costs.
• Flexibility and possibility of development . Python is suitable for creating various digital solutions. For example, if today you are developing a website, and in a year you will also need a mobile application, then you can easily use a ready-made Python backend. Thus, the language allows businesses to quickly adapt to changing market demands and implement new capabilities.
• Code quality and reliability . Python programming is all about strict syntax and strict adherence to rules. This reduces the risk of errors, increases the reliability and stability of applications, and facilitates further maintenance and development of the code.
• Integration with other technologies . Python easily integrates with other languages and technologies, so it is ideal for projects that need to organize interaction with various external systems and services.
• Data analytics and machine learning . Python is the main language in ML, Big Data, AI. Therefore, if you plan to use the capabilities of artificial intelligence to gain valuable insights and improve business processes, it is worth hiring a Python developer who has experience in implementing such innovations.

Responsibilities of a Python backend developer

A Python programmer is a multifaceted developer who can solve various tasks on a project. The list of his duties varies depending on the type, features and requirements for the software being developed, so let's consider the main ones:

• Development and support of the backend part of the software. Creation and development of the project's server logic, working with databases, as well as establishing interaction with various external services and APIs for data exchange and product functionality expansion.
• Data analysis and machine learning. Collect, process and analyze data, build and train machine learning models using specialized Python libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow and PyTorch.
• Automation of tasks. Writing scripts to automate routine processes within the development team, such as data processing, system monitoring, log collection and processing, and many others.
• Development and support of microservices. Design, creation, deployment and further development of microservice architecture, which increases the flexibility and productivity of the software.
• Code documentation. Creating project documentation and describing the logic of the software code and processes, which greatly simplifies project support in the future.
• Code testing and debugging. Writing scripts for automatic testing, conducting unit tests and debugging software according to QA requirements.

What skills and tools should a Python developer have

To implement modern and technological projects in Python, it is not enough for a developer to know the syntax of the language itself and to be able to apply it in practice. A specialist must have skills in working with many additional tools and frameworks. Let's consider the most popular of them.

Basic skills

• Experience working with databases. Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases (eg PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB).
• Knowledge of algorithms and data structures. Understanding of basic algorithms and data structures to write efficient code.
• Experience with version control systems. Ability to use Git to manage code and collaborate with other developers.
• Testing and debugging skills. Ability to write tests, effectively find and eliminate errors in code.
• Understanding the principles of ORP and design patterns. Ability to design and implement systems using objects and classes.
• Skills of working with RESTful API. Creation and integration with RESTful services.

Frameworks

• Django. A high-level framework for quickly creating web applications.
• Flask. A lightweight framework for implementing applications and APIs.
• FastAPI. A framework for creating high-performance APIs.

Data analysis and machine learning

• Pandas. A library for analyzing and manipulating data.
• NumPy. A library for complex calculations that supports multidimensional arrays.
• Scikit-learn. A library for machine learning and data analysis.
• TensorFlow and PyTorch. Platforms for building and training machine learning models.

How to correctly test a developer's Python competence

A Python developer is responsible for the technical implementation of efficient and secure server-side software, so before hiring such a specialist, you should make sure of his qualifications and experience. This can be done in several ways:

• Portfolio analysis. Examine the developer's previous projects and code examples in public repositories such as GitHub to assess the coding style, approaches used, and quality of work.
• Technical interview. Conduct a technical interview and ask potential candidates questions about the language syntax, data structures, ORP principles, or frameworks you plan to use in the job.
• Practical task. Conduct coding tests - invite candidates to implement a small program or functionality that is close to what they will do on the project.
