Hire for SQLAlchemy Mastery
Your Python application's database access is a mix of raw SQL strings and fragile, custom-built logic. You need an engineer who can build a robust and maintainable data access layer using SQLAlchemy, the gold standard in the Python world. You need an expert who knows the trade-offs between the Core and the ORM and can solve performance issues like the N+1 problem.
Sound Familiar?
Common problems we solve by providing true SQLAlchemy experts.
Are you struggling to choose between the power of SQL and the convenience of an ORM?
The Problem
Many ORMs hide the underlying SQL, making it hard to optimize. But writing raw SQL everywhere is not maintainable.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We find engineers who understand SQLAlchemy's unique two-layered approach, using the high-level ORM for convenience and dropping down to the SQL Expression Language (Core) for powerful, optimized queries when needed.
Proof: Expertise in both the ORM and Core layers
Is your ORM causing N+1 query performance problems?
The Problem
Lazy loading of relationships is a classic ORM pitfall that leads to thousands of unnecessary database queries.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our engineers are masters of SQLAlchemy's relationship loading strategies, able to use `selectinload` or `joinedload` to eliminate N+1 problems and write highly efficient queries.
Proof: Mastery of relationship loading strategies
Are your database schema changes managed with risky, manual SQL scripts?
The Problem
Manual schema changes are not version-controlled and are a common source of deployment failures.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We look for engineers who are proficient in Alembic, the migration tool built by the creator of SQLAlchemy, to provide safe, repeatable, and version-controlled database migrations.
Proof: Reliable database migrations with Alembic
Our Evaluation Approach for SQLAlchemy
For roles requiring deep SQLAlchemy expertise, our Axiom Cortex™ evaluation focuses on practical application and deep system understanding, not just trivia. We assess candidates on:
- Core vs. ORM trade-offs
- Session management and transaction patterns
- Lazy vs. eager loading strategies (to avoid N+1)
