why django stars
Our Mission
We’re a technical partner for product development in fintech, real estate, and transportation industries for markets from the UK and US to Germany and Switzerland. We help our clients build MVPs, raise investments, and shape the strategy — what’s called, put the process on track for them.
Our Vision
Being the main Python/Django software development & consultancy company HQed in Ukraine, we stand for equality, freedom, and authenticity. Everyone at Django Stars is free and encouraged to express their opinions, ideas, and thoughts.
Our Core
Here, at Django Stars, we’ve built our own crew of talented engineers and managers with shared values and passion for technology as a cornerstone. Our success is always the result of the responsibility, ownership, and commitment we share as a team.
We lead, inspire, and help engineers transform from software developers into Product Creators
people say
Our Culture Book
Stay curious and passionate about engineering
I value an opportunity to work with really experienced people, who have seen both fails and success. Who can say what really works and when it's better to avoid spending time on an approach, technique, or design pattern. It's not about how to design software and write code only — this desire to share a practical experience can be noticed everywhere.
Care about what you do and own the decisions taken
No matter when and how exactly we work, Django Stars stands out with the professional, caring approach and product quality we are proud of. Our values are easy to understand, and the way we follow them gets recognition from every client.
Stand out and speak out
Most of all I value the Django Stars attitude towards people who work in the company. It forms a special culture, and it’s important for me to enjoy not only working within my team but being a part of our whole community.
Stick to common sense & keep things simple
At Django Stars, you’re encouraged to express ideas, and you know that your colleagues will listen to you and give you a chance to prove yourself. Having a clear vision of company values and goals, it’s easy to dive deeper into processes and become a better specialist.
Challenge yourself
Here at Django Stars, we don't accept the status quo. The focus on what makes a difference combined with a to-do approach and keeping things simple is hardwired into Django Stars biological code — and for me, it works pretty well.
Be transparent and professional
I can do my job in the most efficient way possible since the communication and collaboration with both colleagues and customers is transparent and professional. I also feel freedom in my work and ability to influence decisions with my ideas and expertise.
Our Crew
We are the Django Stars
Keep the balance
We believe that the power to create great products comes from the happiness of people who actually build them.
No emotions you get from work can replace the moments spent with family, friends, your favourite snowboard or synthesizer. And our Django people do not miss those moments — with our flexible hours and life-work balance approach, they can get the most out of what they love.
As a company, we strive to multiply such moments of happiness as much as we can — besides corporate parties online and offline, voyages to conferences both in Ukraine and abroad, football and basketball, we don’t hesitate to travel, go hiking or play video games together.
We’re not only engineers. We’re dancers, musicians, gamers, skiers, footballers and basketballers, yoga enthusiasts and rock climbers. We are the people.

hiring flow
It's never been easier... for skilled professionals
We focus our activities on positive candidate experience, and divide the recruitment process into two main stages.
Stage 1: Meetings with our Team
During that stage, we assess the candidates’ skills and match them to a project which meets their expectations.
Meeting with the recruiters
We usually hold the interview in our office so the candidate can see our work on a daily basis and feel the atmosphere of the place. However, during quarantine and lockdown, we can settle an interview online.
During the interview, we’ll ask you about your background, the technologies you used, your motivation, and what direction you want to progress in your career. We will also tell you about our projects, internal initiatives, and opportunities, and give as much time for questions as you need.
Сonversation with our technical interviewer
After the Recruitment meeting, we move directly to the discussion with a tech interviewer. You can expect to hear some technical questions regarding specific technology, algorithmic challenges, and problem-solving tasks. We’d also like to know what you are curious about programming, and what new languages, frameworks, or tools you’d like to learn.
Stage 2: Feedback and Job Offer
At this stage we talk about everything in detail and finalize the recruitment process.
Feedback
We’ll provide you with feedback within 2-7 days — terms depend on the complexity of the selection for the position.
If the feedback is positive, we’ll come back to discuss working conditions and the date when you’re ready to start. We can also discuss options for projects you can get into.
Job Offer
After every detail is discussed, we send you an official job offer, where all the agreements are spelled out.
We always provide feedback, no matter if the candidate joins Django Stars or not — we appreciate your time and efforts spent and strive to help you grow.
