Full Job Description

ABOUT FREETRADE Freetrade’s mission is to become the default place to invest. Investing has been too complicated and expensive for too long, keeping millions from making the most of their savings. We’re changing that. We’re building our team and looking for people who are excited to reshape how our customers invest and grow their wealth. If you’re driven by solving complex problems and building innovative products, you’ll fit right in. 2026 is a big year for us. Last year, we announced a game changing deal to become part of the IG Group. We’ll continue to operate as an independent business while gaining access to the resources and support of an established leader in the space. This year, we’re accelerating our roadmap and taking our products to the next level. We’re building new features like mutual funds, bonds, and family investment tools. We’re also exploring how we can leverage AI to deliver an even better experience for our customers. At Freetrade, we're on a mission to make investing accessible to everyone. We operate in a highly regulated financial environment where security isn't just a function, it's a foundation. As we scale, we're looking for a sharp, motivated Security Intern to join our Security, Privacy and Infrastructure team for the summer and contribute to real, meaningful work from day one. About the Role This is a hands-on internship, not a shadowing exercise. Whether you're a student, a recent graduate, or making your first move into security, you'll be embedded in the security team, working on operational tasks and a dedicated project designed to directly improve security at Freetrade. Your time will be split roughly 50/50 between supporting ongoing security operations and owning a scoped project with a clear outcome. You'll be supported throughout, with a defined onboarding plan, pre-scoped tasks, daily check-ins with your manager, and weekly visibility with the Director of SPI.
