Python developer
About the role
You'll own and evolve two of eCarsTrade's core Python microservices that turn raw vehicle data into commercial decisions:
- MarketPrice — an ML-driven pricing engine that predicts market value for used vehicles and produces bid recommendations (dealer bid, supplier bid, potential dealer margin and turnover time) used across the auction platform.
- DataEnrichment — detects vehicle options, sport packages and verifies listing metadata.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain FastAPI services (API routers, Pydantic schemas, middleware, exception handling) and their RabbitMQ consumers (aio_pika, topic exchanges, durable queues, DLQ, circuit breakers).
- Design durable, decoupled processing flows (e.g. ack-on-aggregation, MongoDB-backed per-car state, thread-pooled blocking work under async consumers).
- Write tests, maintain Docker/docker-compose setups, and keep services production-reliable and observable.
- Collaborate with purchasing and platform teams to translate business rules into robust code.
Requirements
- Strong Python 3.10+ with production experience in async programming (asyncio) and FastAPI (or similar).
- Solid experience with message queues, ideally RabbitMQ (aio_pika), and event-driven architectures.
- Comfortable with Docker and microservice deployment patterns.
- Working knowledge of relational (MySQL) and/or document stores (MongoDB).
- Clean code, testing discipline, and Git-based collaboration.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail, with a passion for writing clean, efficient code.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment.
- Proven track record of delivering high-quality software solutions on schedule and within budget.
- Experience with CI/CD principles and tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar.
- Leadership qualities, including the ability to inspire and motivate team members, drive technical initiatives, and lead by example.
- Proficiency in both English and Russian is mandatory.
Benefits
- Full remote position under a B2B contract
- Multicultural, dynamic international team
- Competitive salary
- Fast-growing company with startup spirit and growth opportunities
- Chance to shape the future of digital automotive trading
