Job description

At Infront, we are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace, recognizing our diverse team as one of our most valuable assets.

For 25 years, Infront has been empowering financial market experts to make faster, smarter, compliant decisions. Over time, we have expanded our foundation by bringing together companies with more than 75 years of combined market experience and trust. All these years on, we're still building. Opening our new Madrid office this summer marks an exciting next chapter, and we're growing our team in order to write it.

Our strength lies in market data, delivering reliable, accurate information through a powerful suite of tools, spanning Data Intelligence, Wealth Management solutions, and Trading & Investor solutions, that our users depend on every day. Today, we are one of Europe’s leading providers of market data and financial software, helping professionals navigate markets with confidence and speed.

About the Role

We are building and modernizing a next-generation entitlement and access control platform that's central to our Fintech product ecosystem. This platform manages complex product and market data entitlements, permissions, licensing, provisioning, and visibility across internal and external systems. We're looking for a Technical Product Owner for this platform, and you'll join a squad that owns this solution, with a mandate to modernise, improve reliability, expand capability, and implement a modern engineering approach.

You'll be joining an experienced, supportive team that's used to distributed ways of working, a great environment to take on a meaningful challenge with strong backup around you.

As a Technical Product Owner for the Entitlement platform, you will:

• Own the product vision, roadmap, and backlog for the entitlement platform.
• Act as the technical authority on entitlement behavior, data flows, and integrations.
• Define and prioritize work across Infront Product requirements, factoring in stability, scalability, compliance, and modernization.
• Maintain a high-quality, well-groomed backlog.
• Define acceptance criteria that are technically precise and testable.
• Make trade-off decisions between short-term delivery and long-term product health.
• Ensure entitlement logic aligns with business rules, regulatory requirements, and commercial models.
• Collaborate with other Product Owners and teams to implement/migrate to the entitlement platform, address cross-system entitlement needs as well as finance/Backoffice integration and needs.

Who you are

Core requirements:

• Several years of proven experience as a Technical Product Owner/Product Manager for backend or platform systems. This is not a first Product Owner role.

Strong technical understanding of:

• Service-oriented architectures and API's.
• Data-heavy, rules-driven systems.
• Legacy platforms and incremental modernization.
• Agile ways of working.
• Strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills, comfortable navigating ambiguity and reconciling differing approaches across legacy systems.
• Ability to confidently engage with senior engineers on design, trade-offs, and risk.
• Experience owning systems where correctness, reliability, and auditability matter.
• Experience owning backend, data, or platform products. This is not a fit for candidates with primarily front-end/digital product backgrounds.

Nice to have:

• Experience with entitlement, permissions, licensing, or access-control domains.
• Exposure to financial services, trading, or market data platforms.
• Experience as a scrum master.

Tech Stack our team works with:

Backend: C#, .NET Framework 4.8, Entity Framework, WCF (Windows-based)

Data Layer: MS SQL Server with a complex schema, stored procedures, triggers, and ETL jobs

Build & Deployment: Mix of legacy and modern CI/CD pipelines (improvements in progress)

You won't be expected to write code, but you should be comfortable understanding this environment to make strong product decisions.

Our offer

Health & wellness: private health insurance and employee assistance.

Holiday: 25 days per year.

Remote work: Enjoy the opportunity to work one day a week from home, with flexible working hours where possible. You may also request to work up to four weeks per year from a different location.

Learning & development: Support your career progression with access to learning resources, ongoing conversations with your manager, and opportunities to share the knowledge you gain with your team.

Culture & impact: Be part of an international team with a startup mindset and play a key role in building our new office culture.
