We’re looking for an experienced Data Center Engineer to design, build, scale, and perform daily upkeep in our regional data and colocation centers. This is a hands-on position that will require a strong communicator with excellent people skills who can manage projects and take ownership.

You will join an interdisciplinary team made up of several groups across SIG, including our Network, Server, Facilities Engineering, Market Data, and Trading teams, along with some external data center operators, colocation and smart hands service providers, and cabling, hardware, and telco vendors. You will collaborate with these stakeholders to:

• Design plans for new equipment deployments using data center best practices
• Coordinate logistical tasks across locations, including procurement, shipping, moving, and keeping inventory of our equipment, cabling, and parts
• Install, cable, configure, and troubleshoot different types of network and server equipment
• Install and configure server OS in a PXE environment (fundamental Linux knowledge is required to deploy network equipment)
• Ensure all our data centers uphold the highest standards in terms of security, organization, documentation, safety, cleanliness, and supply management

What you can expect from us:

Real Impact: By integrating sophisticated coding techniques with innovative engineering ideas, we design and optimize systems that can process massive amounts of data while still ensuring high performance and stability. You’ll see how your contributions towards developing and supporting leading-edge hardware and software technologies make a firm-wide impact that makes us all smarter, faster, and better.

Collaboration: You will partner closely with our Infrastructure Teams to deliver and manage scalable and highly performant systems to support trading in the region and globally.

Growth: For many of our roles, we don’t expect you to have prior industry experience in proprietary trading or financial services to succeed at Susquehanna International Group. We’re looking for people who are naturally curious, relentless problem solvers, and have the desire to continuously innovate, learn, and grow.

Benefits: SIG offers a wide array of competitive employee perks & benefits. 

• 5+ years of experience working in a data center environment with strong knowledge of data center best practices and cabling methodology

• Knowledgeable in networking fundamentals; can address Layer 2 and 3 connectivity issues
