"Highly professional, patient with our changes, and always maintaining clear communication with candidates. We look forward to continuing to work with you on all our future roles."
“Lupa has been an exceptional partner this year, deeply committed to understanding our unique needs and staying flexible to support us. We're excited to continue our collaboration into 2025.”
"What I love about Lupa is their approach to sharing small, carefully selected batches of candidates. They focus on sending only the three most qualified individuals, which has already helped us successfully fill 7 roles.”
"We hired 2 of our key initial developers with Lupa. The consultation was very helpful, the candidates were great and the process has been super fluid. We're already planning to do our next batch of hiring with Lupa. 5 stars."

"We compared Lupa with another LatAm headhunter we found through Google, and Lupa delivered a far superior experience.

From sourcing an incredible Senior FullStack Developer to supporting our broader hiring needs, their team has been proactive, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. It really feels like we’ve gained a trusted partner in hiring.”
Working with Lupa was a great experience. We struggled to find software engineers with a specific skill set in the US, but Lupa helped us refine the role and articulate our needs. Their strategic approach made all the difference in finding the right person. Highly recommend!
Lupa goes beyond typical headhunters. They helped me craft the role, refine the interview process, and even navigate international payroll.

Top Django Developer Interview Questions
Essential questions for evaluating Django Developers
What is Django's MVT architecture and how does it differ from MVC?
Look for an understanding that Django uses the Model-View-Template (MVT) pattern, where the Template is responsible for the presentation, differing from the Controller in MVC. The candidate should explain how Django handles user requests by mapping them to views, which prepare data for the templates.
How do you handle database migrations in Django?
The candidate should mention using Django's migration system with commands like `makemigrations` and `migrate`. They should understand the importance of applying migrations consistently across environments and managing model changes over time.
Can you explain Django's ORM and why it's useful?
Look for an explanation that Django's ORM allows developers to interact with databases using Python code instead of SQL. It's useful for writing database queries in a way that is database-agnostic, improving maintainability and portability of code.
How would you optimize a Django application for performance?
The candidate should discuss techniques like caching, database query optimization through select related/prefetch related, using a content delivery network (CDN), and reviewing bottlenecks with profiling tools. Their answer should emphasize identifying issues before optimization.
What security features does Django provide by default?
Ensure the candidate mentions Django’s built-in protections against common web application vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and clickjacking, along with the importance of keeping Django updated for security patches.
Can you describe a time you identified and fixed a bottleneck in a Django application?
The candidate should demonstrate their ability to analyze and optimize application performance. Look for specific examples that show an understanding of profiling tools and performance tuning.
How do you approach debugging when you encounter an unexpected issue in a Django project?
Look for systematic and logical thinking in their answer. They should mention using Django's debugging tools, checking logs, and possibly setting up test cases to isolate the problem.
How would you handle a situation where you need to implement a feature that doesn't fit well with Django's out-of-the-box functionality?
The candidate should show creativity and adaptability, explaining how they would use Django's flexibility, such as creating custom middleware or utilizing signals, to implement the feature.
Explain a complex technical problem you solved in Django and the impact it had.
This should highlight the candidate's problem-solving depth and ability to handle complex issues. Look for a structured approach to the problem and clear communication of the benefits of their solution.
How do you keep up with changes in the Django framework and use that knowledge to solve current project issues?
The candidate should demonstrate a commitment to continuous learning and adaptability. Look for mentions of following Django's release notes, participating in the Django community, and incorporating relevant updates into their work.
Can you describe a time when you had to collaborate closely with others on a team project?
Look for examples where the candidate actively contributed to team success, demonstrating effective communication, support for team members, and a willingness to listen and incorporate diverse perspectives.
How do you handle conflicts within a team?
Pay attention to their approach to resolving disagreements, focusing on their ability to empathize, maintain professionalism, and find solutions that benefit the entire team.
Describe how you prioritize tasks during high-pressure situations.
Assess their ability to efficiently manage time, maintain focus, and deliver quality work even when faced with tight deadlines and multiple competing priorities.
Give an example of a time when you had to convince others of your idea.
Look for their capability to effectively articulate their reasoning, adapt their approach based on feedback, and engage in collaborative problem-solving.
How do you ensure clear communication when working remotely or in a distributed team?
Look for evidence of proactive communication practices, such as regular check-ins, using collaborative tools effectively, and ensuring alignment across the team.
