Windows Engineer

Overview

Susquehanna's business relies on fast, reliable and secure server infrastructure. As a Windows Server Infrastructure Engineer, you'll build, maintain and improve the Windows server environment that supports our teams and production systems.

Working closely with developers and production engineers, you'll help deliver resilient systems and smooth production deployments.

In this role, you will

• Manage the full server lifecycle, from planning and building physical and virtual servers to operating system maintenance, patching and decommissioning.
• Diagnose and resolve performance, stability and connectivity issues across the server stack, including CPU and memory constraints, storage faults and system crashes.
• Operate and improve our virtual infrastructure, including host and VM provisioning, resource allocation, performance monitoring and configuration consistency.
• Develop automation and tooling to make server builds, maintenance and support more efficient and repeatable.
• Build and maintain monitoring and dashboards that provide clear visibility into system health and help detect issues early.
• Manage our Citrix environment, including application onboarding and ongoing support.
• Lead and contribute to projects that improve infrastructure resilience and developer productivity.
• Support production launches and work with developers and production engineers to resolve deployment and post-deployment issues.

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