Software Engineer (1-2 years+) - Python or C++: Quantitative Fund

Are you passionate about revolutionising engineering with AI? Here at Monolith AI we’re on a mission to empower engineers to use AI to solve even their most intractable physics problems. We’ve doubled in size over the last four years, and we have ambitious plans moving forward. It’s an exciting time, and to continue our growth, we are recruiting a Senior Software Engineer focusing on Python for our Software Team.

Our Tech Stack:

AWS, Athena SQL, Athena Spark, ECS, Azure, Azure Synapse SQL & Spark, Python, Flask, Fast API, Redis, Postgres, React, Plotly, Docker. We will potentially add GCP and on-premise in the future.

What you can expect as a Senior Software Engineer at Monolith AI:

As a Senior Software Engineer at Monolith AI, you'll contribute to developing our self-serve MLOps platform that empowers domain experts to harness AI without deep technical expertise. Using your strong Python backend skills, you'll create intuitive tools that enable non-technical users to build robust MLOps pipelines, focusing on platform maturation, data scale, quality, and automation.

Working alongside experienced senior engineers, you'll bring a data engineering mindset to the team, building sophisticated systems that parallel orchestration tools like Airflow or Temporal. Rather than creating individual pipelines, you'll develop the frameworks and tools that allow users to create their own pipelines efficiently, while advocating for data engineering best practices across the team.

As a key member of our engineering team, you'll shape the future of our platform's data capabilities during a crucial growth phase. Success in this role means creating robust, user-friendly systems that democratize data engineering, allowing our clients to build and maintain sophisticated data pipelines without requiring deep technical expertise.

What would set you up for success coming into this role:

  1. You have a minimum of seven years experience working in Software Engineering, with at least three of these in Python.
  2. You’ve got two years' experience working with Spark, preferably PySpark.
  3. You’ve had the opportunity to work on Cloud Infrastructure, whether it be AWS, Azure or GCP.
  4. You’ve got experience with orchestration frameworks such as Temporal, Airflow or Dagster.
  5. You’ve had the opportunity to and enjoyed being part of a fast-paced and growing Software Engineering company.
  6. You’re not fazed by the prospect of working autonomously.

It would be a real bonus, but not a requirement if:

  • You’ve worked in a start-up environment.
  • You’ve got DBT experience.
  • You’ve familiarity with MLOps principles and practices and their application in a production setting.

Interview Process:

  1. You’ll have a 20-minute conversation with one of our internal recruiters to get you excited about the opportunity.
  2. You’ll then have the opportunity to discuss a personal project with the team. If you don’t feel like there’s anything suitable, we’re more than happy to send a take-home assignment.
  3. You’ll then have a 60-minute technical interview. The first half will be a short live-coding exercise. The second will focus more on technical questions.
  4. Lastly, you’ll have a 45-minute chat with a couple of our team to understand more about the teams you’ve worked in previously and of course there’ll be plenty of time to ask questions.

Neurodiversity in Data Science Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Data science is all about turning messy, real-world information into decisions, products & insights. It sits at the crossroads of maths, coding, business & communication – which means it needs people who see patterns, ask unusual questions & challenge assumptions. That makes data science a natural fit for many neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & thinking about a data science career, you might have heard comments like “you’re too distracted for complex analysis”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too disorganised for large projects”. In reality, the same traits that can make traditional environments difficult often line up beautifully with data science work. This guide is written for data science job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a data science context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common data science roles Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in data science – & how to turn “different thinking” into a real career advantage.

Data Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK data science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise rigorous problem framing, high‑quality analytics & modelling, experiment/causality, production awareness (MLOps), governance/ethics, and measurable product or commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for product/data scientists, applied ML scientists, decision scientists, econometricians, growth/marketing analysts, and ML‑adjacent data scientists supporting LLM/AI products. Who this is for: Product/decision/data scientists, applied ML scientists, econometrics & causal inference specialists, experimentation leads, analytics engineers crossing into DS, ML generalists with strong statistics, and data scientists collaborating with platform/MLOps teams in the UK.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.
