Security-Focused Engineering Systems support highly sensitive data (e.g., compensation, performance, firm-wide workflows) and are designed with strict isolation and reliability standards. Complex Systems Environment Multiple integrations, diverse data flows, and enterprise-scale workflows require thoughtful system design and strong engineering fundamentals. Firm-Wide Impact The platforms built by this team directly support critical operational functions across Susquehanna.

What we're looking for:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or a related discipline. Relevant experience can be substituted for education.10+ years of hands-on software development experience
Strong proficiency in C# or Java
Experience with SQL, Web Development, and API-driven architectures
Experience working with AI-assisted tooling (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.)Interest in understanding systems beyond code — including deployment, data flow, and reliability
Strong collaboration and communication skills across technical and non-technical teams
Any experience deploying solutions using AI for inference is a plus

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
