The posting

iSAM is an innovative, financial technology firm specialising in quantitative trading, comprised of iSAM Funds and iSAM Securities.

iSAM Securities regulated by the FCA, SFC, and CIMA registered, is a leading algorithmic trading firm and trusted electronic market maker, providing liquidity, technology and prime services to institutional clients and trading venues globally. The firm offers full-service prime brokerage and execution via its cutting-edge proprietary technology, as well as market leading analytics, cleared through the group’s bank Prime Brokers.

iSAM Funds is an alternative asset manager specialising in systematic investing. Each strategy is unique, provides a specialist quantitative approach and is designed to deliver highly diversifying absolute returns for institutional portfolios.

About the Role:

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.

Qualifications:

  • Strong, hands-on Python developer.
  • A minimum of 5 years’ experience working closely with researchers on a quant research code base within a systematic trading business.
  • Proven ability to deliver well tested, well monitored systematic trading software

Personal Attributes:

  • You are a smart, intellectually curious, self-driven professional with a high attention to detail and a willingness to learn.
  • You have strong communication skills and can clearly explain a complex system.
  • You enjoy working in a collaborative environment directly with colleagues from multiple backgrounds and areas of expertise.
  • You are comfortable working at the coal face of a fast-paced trading environment.
  • You take pride in and ownership of your work, care about quality and continuously strive for improvement, both individually and for the wider team.
  • You are excited about how (and pro-actively research new ways that) AI could transform the operation of a systematic trading business.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
