Python staffing that puts developers you choose on your roadmap

Hire Python developers who build on your roadmap, not a vendor's.

Connext's Python staffing services place dedicated developers for backend and API work, data pipelines, test automation, and infrastructure scripting, and you interview and approve every one. They work full-time in your repos and sprints while we handle recruiting, employment, equipment, and in-country management.

Quick answer

What is Python staffing?

Python staffing is a hiring model where a staffing partner recruits Python developers who work full-time for your company, inside your tools and under your direction. With Connext, you interview and approve every dedicated Python developer, and Connext acts as Employer of Record for payroll, HR, compliance, equipment, and secure facilities.

Your next launch shouldn’t stall while you search for a Python developer

The product update you promised customers slips again. Your data stays stuck in spreadsheets, and your senior engineers spend their days hiring instead of building. Connext puts dedicated Python developers you’ve interviewed and approved on your team in an average of 21 days.

Real situations: tech teams that started small and kept building

From a pilot to nearly 60 professionals

A Denver-based expense management software company needed technical capacity to support clients across North America, Europe, and Asia without stalling its own roadmap. It started with a small Connext pilot in 2022. The team now numbers nearly 60 professionals, including Technical Implementation Specialists, ServiceNow Administrators, and Client Delivery Managers.

A failed vendor, rebuilt from 1 to 39

A Salt Lake City managed service provider came to Connext after its previous offshore vendor left it running remote staff with almost no local management. Connext assigned a full-time Operations Manager from day one and took over employee support and engagement. The team grew from 1 to 39, including 28 people transitioned from the prior provider, across the Philippines and Mexico.

Each candidate packet includes the resume, bill rate, interview notes, and assessment scores. You run the technical interview and make the final call.

4

Work inside your repos and sprints

Developers use your repositories, ticketing system, and ceremonies, and report to your engineering leads.

Why tech companies choose Connext for Python staffing

Developers you picked. Not developers you were assigned

You interview every candidate on a shortlist built from the top 4% of applicants, and no one touches your codebase without your approval.

Python knowledge that stays on your team

94% of Connext hires are still in place at 90 days and 91% at six months, supported by Great Place to Work Certified workplaces in the Philippines and Colombia (2025).

SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA, backed by controls you can name

Connext holds SOC 2 Type II certification and is HIPAA compliant, with biometric access control, monitored workstations, and documented access controls audited annually. Details on the Data Security and Compliance page.

One developer or a full squad, on your timeline

Start with a single Python role and $0 upfront, then add offshore Python developers in the Philippines, Colombia, Mexico, or India as the roadmap grows.

Built for fewer, better developers

AI coding tools mean many roadmaps need fewer developers, each carrying more of the judgment. That is why selection starts with your standards and ends with your approval, not a seat count.

The same model behind teams of 60

The approach that took a Denver software company from a 2022 pilot to nearly 60 professionals, and rebuilt a Salt Lake City MSP from 1 to 39, is the one a first-time client gets with its first Python developer.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to hire a Python developer through Connext?
Connext charges one monthly all-in rate per Python developer, with $0 upfront. The rate covers recruiting, payroll, benefits, HR, equipment, secure facilities, IT, and in-country management, and it appears in each candidate packet before you interview.
What's the difference between Python staff augmentation and co-management?
Python staff augmentation adds a developer to your team, and you manage everything else yourself. Connext's co-management model keeps you in charge of the work, the goals, and system access, while a dedicated in-country team manager handles HR, payroll, IT, retention, and weekly account reviews. You get the control of augmentation without running an offshore operation alone.
Can Connext Python developers work U.S. hours?
Yes. Connext runs delivery centers in the Philippines, Colombia, Mexico, and India, so you can choose nearshore time-zone overlap or extended coverage. One health benefits platform runs its Connext team 20 hours a day, five days a week, across Eastern, Pacific, and Philippine time zones.
Who controls a Python developer's access to our production systems?
You do. Your team grants and revokes access to your repositories, cloud consoles, and databases, just as it would for an in-house hire. Developers work from Connext facilities covered by SOC 2 Type II certification, with biometric entry, monitored workstations, and documented access controls audited annually. Roles that handle protected health information operate under signed Business Associate Agreements.
Do we still need Python developers if our team uses AI coding tools?
Yes, though often fewer of them. AI can draft code, but someone still reviews it, tests it, and owns it in production. Many teams now hire fewer Python developers and expect more judgment from each, which makes selection matter more. With Connext, you interview and approve every developer against your own bar.
Who owns the code a Connext Python developer writes?
Your company owns the code. Connext developers work full-time for your organization, inside your repositories and under your direction, and Connext's client agreements assign work product to the client. Connext's role is employment and support: payroll, compliance, equipment, and in-country management.
