expert backend dev with scripting experience

I’m upgrading a.NET-based backend and need targeted Python scripts to run server-side tasks such as data transformation, scheduled jobs, and quick automation hooks that are easier to maintain in Python than in C#. Your work will slot straight into the existing.NET services layer, so an understanding of how Python processes can be invoked from, or communicate with, ASP.NET endpoints is essential.

Key points • Primary language for the new scripts: Python 3.x • Hosting environment: modern.NET (Core/6+) backend already in production • Focus area: server-side scripting—no UI work required

I’ll supply:

• Access to a staging API and database connection strings
• Clear task XXXX XXXX each script (inputs, expected outputs, frequency)
• Coding standards and logging format already used in the project

What I expect from you:

1. Clean, well-documented Python modules that follow PEP-8
2. Easy-to-run integration hooks (e.g., command-line entry points, REST triggers, or scheduled tasks) compatible with the existing.NET deployment pipeline
3. Unit tests for all critical functions
4. A short deployment guide so my DevOps pipeline can pick the scripts up without surprises

If.NET interop presents limitations, I’m open to your suggestions—whether that means containerising the scripts, using gRPC, or exposing them through a lightweight FastAPI micro-service. The end goal is seamless operation, stability, and straightforward maintenance.

Let me know your relevant experience bridging Python with.NET and how quickly you can deliver the first scripted task. Budget: USD 30–250 Skills: Python,.NET, C# Programming, Django, Software Architecture, ASP.NET, Scripting, Backend Development, FastAPI, REST API
