Quant roles at Susquehanna (SIG)

Susquehanna International Group is a privately held trading firm headquartered in Bala Cynwyd, outside Philadelphia, and one of the largest options market makers. It is known for training traders from scratch with a long education program built on decision science and poker. Its 2027 master’s and PhD listings for quantitative researchers and quantitative systematic traders post a $300,000 base in New York.

SIG’s board ran to 12 pages of roughly 20 listings on Nov 11, 2026; 20 of the 58 core quant listings were US roles, split between Bala Cynwyd and New York.

Worth knowing: SIG posts pay only where the law requires it. The same 2027 role appears twice on its board: at $300,000 in New York and with no figure in Bala Cynwyd.
