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 Originally posted on Himalayas
