At Infront, we help major banks and independent wealth and asset managers make faster, smarter, compliant investment decisions. For decades, we have been at the heart of Europe’s financial services infrastructure, providing financial data and investment tools, from intelligent data feeds to wealth management platforms and trading solutions, and empowering over ninety thousand professionals to navigate complex markets with confidence. We build technology, but our people power us. We foster an inclusive workplace where diverse perspectives drive innovation and results, guided by our shared values of engagement, communication and recognition. Together, we collaborate, commit to innovation and shape the future of our industry, building a culture of trust, transparency and enjoyment. Purpose of the role Infront builds and operates financial technology products for banks and asset managers across thirteen countries, on a technology estate that has grown by acquisition. Today, security is built in product by product: encryption, authentication, secrets handling and logging are solved differently in each, by whoever built it. The Integral Security Architect owns how security is designed into Infront's products, replacing that patchwork with shared patterns the teams can adopt and reuse. The role sits in engineering and reports to the Head of Information Security for mandate and standards. It spends its days with the teams that build the products, in the architecture forum, in design reviews, and alongside the Security Champions it coordinates. Success means new products and material changes are secure by design from the start.



Accountabilities Own the reference security patterns for Infront's products: authentication and authorisation, encryption and key handling, secrets management, logging and telemetry, and secure service-to-service communication. Publish them, keep them current, and see them adopted. Own the Secure Development Standard and the security gates in the build and deployment pipeline, including continuous scanning that covers components embedded in Infront's own software, not only what is installed on hosts. Lead threat modelling and security design review for new products and material changes, proportionate to risk, and record the outcome so it is auditable. Be the technical lead for identity architecture across the estate: the enterprise identity provider, the product authentication platform and the trading authorisation layer, including succession planning for platforms that today depend on a single person. Own security architecture for the cloud estate, across multiple AWS accounts and Azure tenants, and for the boundary between shared and isolated platform instances. Coordinate the Security Champions, one named engineer per product area, as a dotted-line community: set their agenda, give them patterns to apply, and use them to reach every team.



Represent security in the architecture forum and in the Cyber Resilience Act secure-by-design work, and translate regulatory expectations into engineering decisions. Provide the application-layer input to vulnerability prioritisation and penetration test scoping, so that testing concentrates on the shared components most products depend on. What you will do in the first six months Publish the first three reference patterns, encryption, authentication and secrets, and get them adopted by at least one product team each. Enable continuous pipeline scanning for embedded components across the priority products, with a named owner for findings in each team. Produce the identity architecture and succession plan for the product authentication and authorisation platforms. Stand up the Security Champions community with a named champion in every product area and a monthly cadence. Consolidate Infront's four overlapping secure development policy drafts into one standard that engineers will actually use. Complete threat models for the five shared components on which most priority products depend. Experience and skills, essential Substantial experience designing security into software products, in a company that builds and operates its own platforms, ideally financial technology or another regulated Saa S environment. Hands-on depth in application security and secure development: threat modelling, OWASP-aligned secure coding, SAST, SCA and secrets scanning in CI/CD, and what it takes to get engineers to adopt them. Cloud security architecture across AWS and Azure, including multi-
