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. Both are async FastAPI services, message-driven via RabbitMQ, and containerized with Docker. You'll work across ML pipelines, computer vision, LLM integrations, and high-throughput event processing. ### 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
