Overview

Heights Capital Management, the Private Placements team within SIG, is hiring a SQL Database Developer. The team invests the firm’s proprietary capital in public companies in the US, Europe and Asia. We are looking for a Database Developer to architect and develop systems using C# and/or Java, T-SQL, and SQL Server technologies.

At Heights, you will have the opportunity to work with investment managers, quantitative analysts, and other developers to engineer unique ways to solve problems. A strong candidate will have experience in the financial industry, but more importantly, will need deep technical skills and an inclination to build systems iteratively and collaboratively with other team members.

This team, known as Heights Capital, is an entity within the Susquehanna International Group umbrella; as such, this role provides the feel of working in a small growing company, but backed by the resources of the entire SIG enterprise.

• Become an expert in the business and its associated data domain
• Develop using C#, VBA, Python, and SQL, backed by SQL Server databases
• Troubleshoot and solve technical problems by examining existing code and programs

What you can expect from us: 

Real Impact: You’ll be designing and optimizing systems that process massive amounts of data, ensuring high performance and stability. You’ll see how your contributions towards developing and supporting leading-edge hardware and software solutions make a firm-wide impact that makes us all smarter, faster, and better.

Collaboration: Our systems engineers, network architects, technical analysts and software developers work together to create competitive edge through best-in-class technical solutions.

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.

What we’re looking for

• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related discipline required
