“Shakers adds a lot of value because it connects you with sharper projects, already filtered and better defined. It saves you a big part of the upfront work of understanding the client, quoting and weighing up whether it is worth it, and that means that as a contractor you can go far more directly to the opportunities that genuinely fit you.”

“Life as a contractor has a lot going on and it is not always easy. We like to focus on what we are good at, but you also have to manage clients, invoicing and go looking for work. For me, Shakers has been key because it does that prospecting for me, it gives the client confidence from the very first moment, and it lets us be part of a community with real enthusiasm.”

“Shakers was key to getting my company off the ground: it gave me the flexibility to keep contracting while I built my next chapter. Without Shakers, I would have had to raise funding or push the project back.”

What you can build as a Python Developer at Shakers

A Python specialist is who you turn to for three different things: backend services with Django or FastAPI, automations that replace manual work, and data pipelines with pandas or Airflow. The language is the same; what changes is the judgement, such as when a process stops fitting in a script and needs a queue, or where to add types so the code holds. Training the model is ML Engineer ground. At Shakers projects arrive scoped and you choose which ones you join.

From a FastAPI service to a data pipeline with Airflow: backend, automation and integrations, with verified clients.

Typical stack: Python, Django, FastAPI, Flask, Airflow, pandas, PostgreSQL, Docker.
