## Description

iSAM Tensor is a brand-new business unit (founded in August 2026) with the remit to build a new systematic, multi-strategy trading platform that will start trading in December 2026. The Tensor team is responsible for every aspect of the platform, from data to strategy development to portfolio construction to execution to production monitoring, ensuring the system is stable, scalable and robust. They take an idea from inception to production. As we grow the platform and onboard additional strategies and asset classes, we are looking for an experienced quant developer to join our London team. This is a key hire for the team, giving the successful candidate the opportunity to join a new systematic trading business at the beginning. This is a hands-on position in an intentionally flat structure within a collaborative team where you will directly contribute to every part of the platform. You will work with researchers, quant developers and engineers from across the firm to drive our
success.

Responsibilities:

 * Produce and maintain professional, high-quality, scalable code.
 * Work closely with researchers to aid strategy and portfolio development and ensure that strategies (written in Python) are robust and performant in production.
 * Pro-actively find ways to improve all aspects of the platform.
 * Support the platform in production on a support rota once certified.
