I run several Django-based web applications that need ongoing feature development and maintenance. To keep up with our roadmap I’m looking for a developer who is comfortable settling in for the long haul, communicating clearly, and shipping production-ready code on a steady cadence. The immediate focus is on three areas that touch nearly every part of the stack: • Multi-factor user authentication – think TOTP, backup codes, and recovery flow all wired into Django’s auth system without breaking existing sessions. • Payment integration – we currently prototype on Stripe and will move to live transactions once the flow is stable, so expect webhooks, retries, and clean error handling. • API development – new and refactored REST endpoints powered by Django REST Framework, documented via OpenAPI, fully covered by tests. All environments are Dockerised, version-controlled in GitHub, and deployed to AWS with Terraform, so familiarity there will help you hit the ground running. Acceptance criteria for the first milestone: 1. Users can enable, verify, and disable multi-factor authentication from their profile. 2. Successful card payments trigger order creation and a receipt email; failures surface clear messages to the client and log useful diagnostics. 3. New API endpoints conform to our existing versioning scheme, include pagination where appropriate, and achieve at least 90 % test coverage. If clean code, daily Slack updates, and meaningful pull-request reviews are already part of your workflow, let’s talk.

Hi — Elias here from Miami. I understand you’re looking for ongoing support for your Django-based applications. Consistent feature development and maintenance are crucial for keeping your platforms competitive and user-friendly. What usually matters most here is the balance between implementing new features and ensuring system stability. A common issue in systems like yours is managing dependencies and integrations without disrupting the user experience. The tricky part is usually ensuring that updates don’t introduce bugs or performance issues, especially as you scale. My approach would involve setting up a structured development cycle with clear version control and testing protocols. Leveraging Docker for consistent environments and Terraform for infrastructure management can enhance reliability and maintainability. I’ve worked on similar Django projects, focusing on automation and API development, which has honed my ability to foresee potential roadblocks. A few questions to better understand the scope: Q1 – What specific features are you looking to prioritize in the next few months? Q2 – Are there any existing integrations or third-party services we should be aware of? Q3 – How do you currently handle user roles and permissions within your applications? Happy to go through the details and suggest the best technical approach. Looking forward to hearing from you.

This Django roadmap is a strong match for my background in production web platforms, REST APIs, authentication, payments, Docker, AWS, and Terraform. I would begin by reviewing the existing auth/session behavior, Stripe prototype, API versioning, CI checks, and Terraform environments before implementing changes in small, reviewable pull requests. For MFA, I’ll integrate TOTP with Django auth while preserving active sessions, add securely stored backup codes, profile enable/verify/disable flows, and a clear recovery path with tests for invalid, reused, and expired codes. For Stripe, I’ll verify webhook signatures, make order creation idempotent, handle retries and duplicate events safely, send receipt emails after confirmed payment, and provide useful client errors plus structured diagnostics in logs. The DRF work will follow your current versioning scheme, serializers and permissions, add pagination where needed, generate OpenAPI documentation, and target at least 90% meaningful test coverage. DeskLeap, our production Shopify support platform, includes a public REST API, and ClearAgent is a live Django-style multi-tenant SaaS, so I’m comfortable with long-term maintenance and incremental delivery. I’ll provide daily progress updates and thorough PR reviews. Is the current Stripe prototype already creating order records, or should that flow be introduced in the first milestone? Muhammad Saad

Hello!, I am a Florida-based senior software engineer, and this kind of long-term Django work is exactly where I add the most value. What usually hurts these projects is not just adding features, but keeping the codebase stable while bugs, APIs, and deployments keep changing. I can help by: 1. Reviewing the current Django setup, dependencies, and deployment flow 2. Fixing the highest-risk issues first so the app stays reliable 3. Building new features in small, testable steps with Git/Docker discipline 4. Improving backend and infrastructure pieces so maintenance gets easier over time I’m very detail-focused, and I tend to catch the small things other bidders miss, especially around architecture, edge cases, and long-term maintainability. If you need someone who can jump into existing code and keep things moving without creating more tech debt, that’s exactly my lane. A few relevant examples of work I’ve handled: - SaaS admin dashboard with Django + REST API - Internal operations platform with Docker-based deployment - Python automation system for recurring data workflows - Multi-service web app with CI/CD and cloud infrastructure support Quick questions: 1. Is the main priority new feature development, bug fixing, or both? 2. Are you using Docker/Terraform already, or should I help tighten that up too? 3.

Hi, Mateo here, from Toronto. MFA wired into an existing auth system only stays safe if the migration path doesn't break current sessions, so I'd add TOTP and backup codes as an optional layer users opt into first, verified and tested against existing login flows before making it enforceable, rather than a flag flip that risks locking out active users on day one. For payments, I'd build the Stripe webhook handler with idempotency keys from the start, since retries and duplicate events are inevitable once you move to live transactions, and structure error handling so failures surface clear client messages while logging the actual diagnostic detail server-side, not the same message in both places. I work comfortably in Dockerized Django environments with GitHub and Terraform-managed AWS deployments, and I'd build the new DRF endpoints following your existing versioning and pagination conventions with test coverage as part of the definition of done, not an afterthought. Looking forward to working with you.

Hi, I'm Denis, a full-stack Django developer with extensive production experience in Django REST Framework, Docker, and AWS. I'm comfortable with long-term engagements where code quality matters. I understand your needs: steady roadmap progress without technical debt, correct authentication and payment handling, and clear communication. Your three priorities—MFA, payment processing, and API development—are interconnected and require thoughtful implementation. I've implemented multi-factor authentication with TOTP and recovery mechanisms, integrated Stripe webhooks with idempotency handling and retry logic, and built APIs with proper versioning, pagination, and test coverage. My approach: I'll review your codebase and establish acceptance criteria, then implement MFA into Django's auth system, build the payment integration layer with careful webhook handling, and develop API endpoints with OpenAPI documentation and thorough testing. I'll provide daily Slack updates and easy-to-review pull requests. Key consideration: payment processing requires external dependencies and careful timing. Webhook delivery isn't instant, so idempotency is critical. I'll build in monitoring and clear logging from the start. I'm already familiar with your tech stack—Docker, GitHub, AWS, Terraform—so no ramp-up time needed. I work best with direct communication and treat pull requests as conversations. I can start immediately. Let's discuss the details. Thanks, Denis.

Hi, I can work within your existing Django architecture and deliver each change through focused pull requests, tests, migration notes, and clear operational documentation rather than introducing unnecessary rewrites. For MFA, I’ll integrate TOTP into the current authentication flow with encrypted secrets, hashed single-use backup codes, recovery controls, rate limiting, session handling, and audit events. Enable, verify, disable, and recovery paths will include security-focused tests and avoid weakening existing login behaviour. Stripe integration will use idempotent checkout and order creation, verified webhook signatures, durable event records, bounded retries, duplicate-event protection, and clear separation between customer-facing errors and diagnostic logs. DRF endpoints will follow your established versioning, permissions, serializers, pagination, and OpenAPI conventions, with coverage measured around meaningful behaviours rather than superficial lines. I’m comfortable with Docker-based development and can follow the repository’s GitHub, AWS, and Terraform workflows. Relevant backend examples can be shared privately. Which Django version and authentication packages are currently in use, and does the existing order model already define a state machine for pending, paid, failed, and refunded payments?

Hey, The first milestone touches authentication, payments, and APIs, so reliability matters more than simply adding features quickly. I’d keep the MFA flow integrated with Django’s existing authentication and sessions, make Stripe webhooks and retries idempotent, and build the DRF endpoints around the existing API conventions with OpenAPI documentation and meaningful test coverage. The Docker, GitHub, AWS, and Terraform setup also gives a solid foundation for keeping development and deployment consistent. Daily updates and focused pull request reviews can fit naturally into the ongoing workflow. Is the current Django authentication and Stripe implementation already established, or would the first milestone include reviewing those parts before extending them?

The detail that matters most on the first milestone is "without breaking existing sessions" — adding TOTP and recovery flows is straightforward on paper, but existing users with active sessions and no MFA enrolled need a clean migration path, or you risk locking people out once enforcement kicks in. I've worked with Django, DRF, Stripe, MFA implementations, and Docker/AWS/Terraform deployments. For auth, I'd add MFA as an opt-in layer on top of the existing session model first, with backup codes hashed (never plaintext), then handle enforcement rules separately once enrollment is stable — keeping rollout safe. For Stripe, since you're moving to live transactions, I'd build webhook handling with idempotency checks from day one — Stripe retries on any non-2xx response, so without deduplication you risk double order creation the first time a receipt email service hiccups. For DRF endpoints, I'd match your existing versioning scheme exactly and structure tests around failure paths (card decline, webhook retry, expired session), since those are usually what's missing from coverage even when the happy path looks solid. Quick questions: will MFA eventually be mandatory for all users, or opt-in indefinitely? And is the current Stripe prototype already using webhooks, or is that part of what's being built? Juan Pablo

Stripe webhooks fail quietly more often than they fail loudly, so idempotency keys and a replay endpoint go in before the first live charge. For MFA I'll wire django-otp with TOTP plus hashed backup codes, keep existing sessions valid through a re-auth step, and ship DRF endpoints with OpenAPI docs and pytest coverage above your threshold. I can jump in this week. 1. Is the current auth stock Django, allauth, or djoser? 2. Which DRF versioning scheme are you on, URL path or Accept header? Ready when you are. Thanks Shayan

I've built and maintained Django applications at scale with TOTP/MFA flows, Stripe integration, and DRF APIs across Docker/AWS/Terraform stacks, so this is right in my wheelhouse. I'll start by auditing your existing auth system to wire in django-otp and django-rest-framework-simplejwt without session breakage, then handle Stripe webhook ingestion with proper idempotency and retry logic tied to order creation and transactional emails. Simultaneously I'll refactor your REST endpoints to OpenAPI spec, add pagination serializers, and build test coverage to 90%+ using pytest and factory-boy. All work lands in GitHub with clean commits, daily Slack standups, and thorough PR descriptions so you're never guessing what shipped. I can start immediately. Thanks, Andrii.
