Millennium·Software Engineer·Onsite - Behavioral / Leadership

Jul 2026
Behavioral round at Millennium for a software engineering role, focused almost entirely on communication and motivation. Pretty light on technical content, which was either a relief or a red flag depending on how you look at it.
  • Walk me through how you'd explain a complex ML or technical concept to someone non-technical, like a PM, a trader, or someone in legal. Give a real example.
  • Why do you want to work on ML or AI specifically at a hedge fund rather than at a big tech company or a research lab?

“I had an example ready but I fumbled the landing.”

Millennium·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

May 2026
Technical phone screen for a Software Engineer role at Millennium. The question was a Python async debugging problem, pretty focused and hands-on, no fluff.
  • Given a broken Python async program that calls two HTTP APIs and processes the results, can you explain why it exits without printing anything, fix it so it runs correctly, and then describe how you'd run both API calls concurrently while handling cancellation and exceptions properly?

“Three parts to this and I fumbled the first one a bit.”
