Job description

Overview

Susquehanna is a global proprietary trading firm founded with a growth mindset and a rigorous analytical approach to decision making. We bring together the brightest minds, the best technology, and an expansive library of data to design and implement proprietary trading strategies that make us leaders in the financial markets. Our ability to think together (but not always alike) propels our success.

 

We are hiring talented engineers to join our elite Strategy Development team. This is a computationally intensive role that will allow you to utilize both your data analysis and technology skills.

 

As a part of this team you will be on the front lines of the business iterating with quants and traders to enhance, refine, and evolve strategies. We’re looking for someone who has experience with highly performance-sensitive code. This is a great opportunity to work in a non-siloed, collaborative meritocracy on challenging problems with other scientists and engineers who have an impressive record both academically and in the workplace.

 

What You’ll Do

In this role, you will enhance alpha generation and improve our strategy and research infrastructure. You’ll have the ability to tap into tens of petabytes of raw and well-prepped full tick market data, strategy decisions, fundamentals, and many other data sources to understand market dynamics and find new signals. You’ll have the advantage of rapid turnaround cycles, where you’ll see the efforts of strategy ideas implemented into production quickly.

What we’re looking for

 

  • 5+ years of progressive industry experience developing performance sensitive code in C++
  • Expertise in C++ is required
  • Experience with distributed systems and microservice architecture
  • Strong numerical programming or HPC experience
  • Prior experience working with C# or Python is a plus
  • Prior experience leading a team or driving architecture decisions preferred
  • Minimum of a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or closely related discipline (Ideally MS or PhD)

If you're a recruiting agency and want to partner with us, please reach out to [email protected]. Any resume or referral submitted in the absence of a signed agreement will not be eligible for an agency fee.
