Overview
Susquehanna is seeking talented graduates to join their growing London office in September 2026.
As a Software Development Graduate at Susquehanna, you will be working with senior technologists from the beginning of your programme who will act as your mentors throughout. Your role will allow you to get involved with the development teams building cutting-edge technologies.
You will be working with Software Developers who have a constant focus on evolving a stable, scalable, optimized environment with minimized risk. Our growing team of analysts, developers, infrastructure engineers and support specialists design, deliver and optimize industry leading technical solutions that can process large amounts of data, ensuring high performance and stability.
What we're looking for
Who you are:
Technical: You have strong software development skills in any object-oriented language (we use C#, C++ & Python mostly). You also understand algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented design patterns.
Problem Solver: When it comes to solving problems, you use clear and sound reasoning. You're rational and like to use numbers and data to come up with sensible solutions.
Curious: You're eager to learn and develop new technologies. You're inquisitive and creative, questioning the status quo.
Communicator: You enjoy building relationships with those you work closely with. You enjoy sharing ideas, expressing your thoughts, and listening to the views of others.

Education: You be graduating in 2026 from a Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or related STEM bachelors or masters degree. Prior experience in finance or trading is not necessary.
What's in it for you:
Education: Our education and training is industry leading. Getting a "big picture" perspective of our technology is important. You will also join industry lectures to understand trading and delve deeper into the crucial role that technologists play in Susquehanna. We provide a variety of technical classes to get you up to speed on any technologies that will be needed for success in your role. These include C#, C++, Python.
Real Impact: Through a combination of hands-on and classroom discussion, you will learn how we solve the real technical challenges of building and maintaining the best trading systems. You will learn about our use of leading-edge hardware and software technologies. With other developers and traders, you will collaborate on live challenges, improvements, and technical issues which are key to the ongoing success of the business.
