Currently, the team has two major areas of responsibility.

• Acquiring new performers (drivers for Taxi and Delivery, couriers for Food and Lavka). About 100 thousand leads go through our services daily. Our goal is to create a convenient and flexible platform to simplify and automate acquisition processes as much as possible. This helps improve one of the key metrics — the number of supply hours (performer hours), which, in turn, affects the price and speed of order fulfillment.
• Platform for sending trigger communications. This is one of the team's key projects, which we started this year. We aim to create a platform that will be utilized across all of Yandex's RideTech segment.

Knowledge of Python and Go or a willingness to work with them simultaneously will be required: most services are in Python, while new ones are being written in Go.

What tasks await you

Trigger Platform for Sending Communications This year, the team gained a new area of responsibility — a trigger platform for sending communications to users. Example scenarios: sending a push notification reminder to top up a balance, sending a link to track an order, confirming a phone number, marketing campaigns, and more.

We are developing a solution from scratch that could become the standard in RideTech services (Taxi, Food, Lavka, Market) for sending trigger communications. We want to build a low-code service that will allow the business to conveniently and flexibly configure scenarios without involving developers.

Under the hood, we use the Temporal engine, and backend services are written in Go.

Developing the Platform for Acquiring Performers In addition to the trigger platform, we are responsible for performer recruitment tools. We maintain existing Python services and implement new product features. One of the latest developments is a new product — a personal account for call center operators who call potential performers, help them create a profile in Yandex Pro, and go online to fulfill orders. Previously, operators used the interface of a CRM system, which was inconvenient and slow. Therefore, we created our own solution, which has already allowed users to reduce call time by 50%. We continue to develop the product and help adjacent teams start using it.

During our work, we have undergone several migrations to new CRM systems. You can watch a talk about one of them on YouTube.

We have a fairly complex domain area, and you will have the opportunity to try absolutely different things: from developing small product features to complex architectural tasks.

We expect that you

• Have experience with Python and Go
• Have experience with Linux or are willing to switch to it
• Understand SQL databases (we use PostgreSQL)
• Are familiar with microservice architecture
• Strive to deeply immerse yourself in the product you're working on
• Are ready to take full responsibility for implementing tasks and projects — from planning to release

It will be a plus if you

• Have experience with Temporal or other workflow engines
