TOP 10 PYTHON DEVELOPER SKILLS TO GET HIRED BY FAANG COMPANIES

In this article, we will explore the top 10 Python skills required to get hired by the world's top companies. The FAANG companies, which are Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google, are top companies in the world.

1. Expertise in Core Python

You must have a solid grasp of Python fundamental concepts like variables and data types, data structures, exception handling, file handling, object-oriented programming concepts, etc. As you know, it’s crucial to learn any programming language completely, and you can go in-depth when you start working.

2. Machine Learning and AI

AI and ML are the fastest-growing fields that you need to have good knowledge of Python programming. Python is used to acquire data from datasets and is also used for the analysis of data. To understand the data, you need to visualise and get insights from the data, and for that, Python is the best choice. Along with AI and ML, Python is used for building Neural Networks.

3. Deep Learning

Deep Learning is the field of Data Science and one of the fastest-growing fields. There are several aspects of deep learning too, such as recommendation systems, NLP, image recognition, Automatic Speech Recognition, Image Restoration, etc.

4. Understanding of Multi-Process Architecture

You should be familiar with Model View Controller (MVC) and Model View Template (MVT) Architecture as a Python Developer. This architecture helps us to develop the application in such a way that the backend and frontend are separately built. In Views, we write code for the frontend, and in Model, we write the code for the backend. For example, Django uses MVT architecture.

5. Python Frameworks

To become a Python Developer, you need to learn any Python framework. Django, Flask, and CherryPy are widely used Python frameworks. You should know any of them; I would recommend Flask if you don’t know any of them.

6. Object Relational Mappers (ORM)

ORM is used to connect object code to relational databases. Object code is written in OOP languages like Java, Python, C#, etc. This saves lots of developers' time and gives the flexibility to use different relational databases. In short, we can say ORM is a layer between object code and a relational database. We don’t need to write SQL queries.

7. Front-end Technologies

As a developer, you should have a good understanding of frontend languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Django has collections of libraries for the frontend as well as backend. In Django, we can define the frontend through templates that include HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

8. Analytical Skills

Good analytical skills are required to write clean code without redundancy and optimized code. If you are working in the Data Science field, then you should have good visualization skills.

9. Design Skills

Being a developer, you should have good design skills. Design skills mean you should be able to design scalable products and implement servers in such a way that they are highly available. For a Python developer, you should keep in mind the Python frameworks Django or Flask while designing any website.

10. Communication Skills

Communication skills are equally important as technical skills. Working in a team might be a challenging aspect of being a developer. Good communication skills are required to work in a big company or team. Even if you are in a technical role, you should communicate with your teammates and contribute to resolving issues or helping others.

We discussed the top 10 Python skills required to get hired by top companies like Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google. These skills include expertise in core Python, machine learning and AI, deep learning, understanding of multi-process architecture, knowledge of Python frameworks, object-relational mappers, front-end technologies, analytical skills, design skills, and communication skills. 

The article emphasises the importance of learning Python completely and in-depth, as well as the need for good communication skills when working in a team.
