Jobs for a Python developer: search and automatic applications

Python in Ukraine means backend on Django and FastAPI, data, automation and ML. Here is how to set up the search so the bot applies only where you really want to go.

What job posts ask for most

Django or FastAPI, less often Flask
PostgreSQL, Redis, queues (Celery, RabbitMQ)
Docker, a basic grasp of CI/CD and the cloud (AWS, GCP)
Tests (pytest), typing, code review
For data roles: pandas, SQL, Airflow, ML frameworks

How to set up filters in AutoApply

Put Python and the framework you work with in the skills. "At least one skill" gives more jobs, "all skills" gives more precise ones.

Stop words in the job title drop what does not fit you: for example "Data Scientist" if you do backend, or "QA Automation" if you do not want testing.

A short sample letter

The recruiter reads the first lines, so the letter must be short and concrete. A sample the AI adapts to each job:

"Hi! I am interested in the Middle Python Developer role. I have written backend on Django and FastAPI for three years, the last one building APIs for a payment service with PostgreSQL and Celery. Happy to tell you more on a call."

Tips

Keep separate CVs for backend and data if you look for both.
Give versions and scale: "FastAPI, 2 million requests a day" says more than "experience with APIs".
A pet project on GitHub with tests and Docker helps junior candidates.

FAQ

Should I list both Django and FastAPI?

Yes, if you worked with both. With "at least one skill" the bot finds jobs with either of them.
