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
