Are you eager to transform the engineering landscape with artificial intelligence? At Monolith AI, we are on a pivotal journey to enable engineers to harness the power of AI to tackle some of the most challenging physics issues. Our growth has been remarkable, doubling in size over the past four years, and we’re moving ahead with ambitious plans. This is your chance to join a dynamic team as a Senior Software Engineer specializing in Python, playing a key role in our Software Team.

Our Technology Landscape:

We utilize a diverse tech stack that includes AWS, Athena SQL, Athena Spark, ECS, Azure, Azure Synapse SQL & Spark, Python, Flask, FastAPI, Redis, Postgres, React, Plotly, and Docker. In the near future, we may also integrate GCP and on-premise solutions.

Your Role as a Senior Software Engineer at Monolith AI:

In this pivotal position, you will be instrumental in the development of our self-service MLOps platform, designed to empower domain experts to apply AI without requiring extensive technical background. Leveraging your expertise in Python backend development, you will create user-friendly tools that enable non-technical users to construct comprehensive MLOps pipelines. Your focus will be on enhancing platform capabilities, ensuring data quality, scaling, and automating processes.

Collaborating with seasoned engineers, you will imbue a data engineering mindset into the team, crafting sophisticated systems akin to orchestration tools like Airflow or Temporal. Instead of merely building isolated pipelines, your mission will be to establish the frameworks and tools that empower users to efficiently design their own pipelines, while promoting data engineering best practices across the group.

As an integral part of our engineering team, you will have the opportunity to define the future data capabilities of our platform during a critical phase of expansion. The success in this role hinges on your ability to create robust, accessible systems that democratize data engineering, allowing clients to develop and maintain sophisticated data pipelines without needing deep technical know-how.

What You Need to Succeed in This Role:

1. A minimum of seven years of experience in Software Engineering, with at least three years focused on Python development.
2. Two years of experience working with Spark, ideally with PySpark.
3. Experience with Cloud Infrastructure, including AWS, Azure, or GCP.
4. Familiarity with orchestration frameworks such as Temporal, Airflow, or Dagster.
5. A background in a fast-paced and expanding Software Engineering environment.
6. Confidence in working independently and autonomously.

Bonus Qualifications (Not Required):

• Experience in a start-up culture.
• Familiarity with DBT.
• Understanding of MLOps principles and their practical application.

Our Interview Process:

1. Start with a 20-minute conversation with one of our internal recruiters to discuss your interest in the role.
2. Present a personal project to the team, or opt for a take-home assignment if preferred.
3. Engage in a 60-minute technical interview that includes a live-coding exercise followed by technical questions.
4. Conclude with a 45-minute discussion with team members to explore your past experiences and provide space for your questions.
