Team Overview:
Our Platform Services team is an integral part of the Compute and Storage Platforms (CASP) team at Susquehanna and shares responsibility for building and managing all 15,000+ servers and 250+ PB of storage that composes our critical trade focused infrastructure. Joining Platform Services is the first step in building an engineering career with Susquehanna and provides you with opportunities to:
Rotate across technology spaces
As part of the team, you will be able to rotate with senior engineers specializing in Windows, Linux, Virtualization, Storage, and open source technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Ansible, and Grafana. During these rotations you will partner with engineers to learn the fundamentals of their spaces and help them solve complex problems from building out new environments, evaluating and creating new applications, performance tuning, automation, and configuration management.
Work with mentors
In each rotation you will be paired with one or more mentors that will guide you through your technical growth and Susquehanna's environment. In addition to dealing with day-to-day project work, together you will pinpoint your areas of interest and avenues for growth. You will also work closely with the rest of our teams through design/white board sessions, problem solving discussions, and ongoing project and team updates.
