Senior Python Backend Development StudioDevelopment Studio
We build production-grade Python backends. 12 weeks to MVP with no hourly billing.
IRPR is a senior python backend development studio that builds high-performance APIs, data pipelines, and microservices using Django, FastAPI, Flask, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS. Every project is staffed with senior engineers who have shipped over 200 production systems across 50 countries.
We deliver a working backend in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price starting at $80K. Our code meets compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. You get full source code ownership and a CI/CD pipeline from day one.
Our clients are SaaS founders who need a scalable API, CTOs at fintech companies who require PCI-DSS compliant payment backends, healthcare product managers who need HIPAA-ready data services, and e-commerce leaders who want custom order and inventory systems.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development

Why choose a senior python backend development studio
A senior team builds faster, safer, and with fewer rewrites than junior-heavy shops.
IRPR has shipped 200+ Python backends over 12 years. Our engineers average 10+ years of experience. We write code that handles 10,000 requests per second without breaking a sweat.
We use Django for rapid prototyping and FastAPI for high-concurrency APIs. PostgreSQL with proper indexing keeps queries under 10ms. Redis caching reduces database load by 80% on average.
Generic dev shop vs senior python backend development studio
Not every agency delivers production-ready, secure Python backends. See the difference.
Generic shops often assign junior developers who learn on your budget. They bill hourly and rarely deliver on schedule. Their code may pass initial tests but fails under load.
IRPR assigns senior engineers only. We fix the price after the Roadmap phase (week 2). Every line of code is peer-reviewed and covered by automated tests.
- Junior developers on your project
- Hourly billing with no ceiling
- No dedicated architect
- Timeline slips by 40-60%
- No CI/CD pipeline included
- You don't own the code until final payment
- Senior engineers only (10+ years avg)
- Fixed price after Roadmap (week 2)
- Lead architect assigned from day one
- 8-12 week delivery guaranteed
- GitHub Actions CI/CD from sprint 1
- Full source code ownership upon kickoff
How we build your python backend in 12 weeks
Our process is designed for speed and clarity. No guesswork, no scope creep.
Every project starts with a 2-week Discovery phase where we map every API endpoint, database table, and third-party integration. You get a detailed Roadmap with a fixed price.
Then we build in 2-week sprints. You see running code every 14 days. We deploy to staging for your QA team to test live.
Everything that ships with your python backend
We don't just hand over code. You get a complete operational system.
Every IRPR project includes production infrastructure, monitoring, and automated testing. You can deploy to your own AWS account on day one.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Docker Compose for local development
- Automated unit and integration tests (90%+ coverage)
- API documentation with Swagger or Redoc
- Sentry error tracking integrated
- Datadog or Grafana dashboards for monitoring
- PostgreSQL schema migration scripts
- Deployment runbook (one-command deploy)
- 30-day post-release support and bug fixes
What we ship in this practice.
Real-time analytics API for a logistics startup

Multi-tenant SaaS backend for a B2B analytics tool
Built a Django backend with row-level security for 500+ tenants. Used PostgreSQL schemas for isolation and Elasticsearch for full-text search. Reduced onboarding time from 2 weeks to 2 days. Stack: Django, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Redis, Docker.
Order management API for a global e-commerce brand
Designed a microservices backend handling 50,000 orders/day. Used RabbitMQ for async fulfillment and PostgreSQL for inventory. Cut manual data entry by 12 hours per week. Stack: FastAPI, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, Celery, AWS EKS.
Data pipeline backend for an edtech company
Created a real-time ingestion pipeline using Apache Kafka and Debezium. Transformed student activity data into actionable reports. Processed 100GB of data daily with no data loss. Stack: Python, Kafka, Debezium, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly billing
Every IRPR project gets a fixed quote after the 2-week Roadmap phase. No hourly rates, no surprise invoices. We eat the risk if we under-estimate.
Senior engineers on every project
We assign engineers with 10+ years of Python experience. No juniors, no outsourcing. You talk directly to the person writing your code.
Guaranteed 12-week delivery
Our standard timeline is 8-12 weeks for a production-grade MVP. We have delivered 200+ backends on schedule. If we slip, we tell you by week 2.
Full code ownership from kickoff
You get access to the private GitHub repo on day one. All code, commits, and documentation are yours. No proprietary frameworks.
Compliance-ready architecture
We build with SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR in mind from the first line of code. Our infrastructure templates include encryption, audit logs, and access controls.
Async-first but US-hours overlap
Our team works across time zones but guarantees at least 5 hours of overlap with US business hours. We respond to Slack messages within 30 minutes during core hours.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
