About the Project
We are a growing U.S. commercial insurance company building proprietary technology to automate insurance sales and prospecting.
We maintain a database of 350,000–400,000 trucking companies and need an experienced Python developer to build an automated monitoring system using official FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) data.
This is a hands-on development position, not a virtual assistant or no-code-only role.
What You Will Build
A system that:
* Automatically retrieves updated FMCSA insurance and operating authority data daily.
* Detects insurance carrier changes, cancellation/replacement filings, and authority status changes.
* Matches those changes to companies in our existing database using USDOT/MC numbers.
* Stores historical records and prevents duplicate alerts.
* Sends important updates and follow-up tasks into Zoho CRM.
* Uses n8n for workflow automation.
* Produces a simple daily monitoring report.
Where It Will Live
* Zoho CRM: Alerts, tasks, and dashboards.
* Python + PostgreSQL: Data processing, matching, and historical records.
* n8n: Scheduling and automation.
* Cloud hosting: Company-owned cloud account.
* GitHub: Company-owned source code.
Required Skills
* Strong Python and SQL/PostgreSQL.
* REST API and data integration experience.
* ETL/data pipeline development.
* Zoho CRM API integration or comparable CRM experience.
* n8n automation.
* Experience handling large datasets.
How to Apply
Please include:
1. One example of an API/data automation project you personally built.
2. Your experience with Python, PostgreSQL, n8n, and Zoho CRM.
3. Your estimated fixed-price project fee and completion timeline.
4. A brief explanation of how you would monitor and detect changes across 400,000 records.
Shortlisted candidates will receive detailed project specifications and an optional paid technical assessment ($75–$125).
