About the Role

The Customer Portal is a core part of how our clients experienceCloudGuard, andit’san active, evolving codebase.You’llbe joining at a point where there’s real scope to shape howit’sbuilt — this is a role for someone who wants to build foundational pieces, not justmaintainan established system.

You will work closely with the Customer Portal team lead and the wider engineering team, contributing to a codebase built on TypeScript,Reactand Node.js. We record the reasoning behind significant technical decisions as we go, andyou’llbe expected to engage with that process — understanding not just what to build, but why.

The portal connectsintoCloudGuard’swider platform, including real-time and data-driven features that go beyond a typical CRUD application. You will build both theinterfacescustomersuseand the APIs that power them.

Key Responsibilities

Product Development

• Build and ship features across the Customer Portal — from the React frontend through to Node.js REST APIs.
• Write TypeScript across the stack, working within a strict typing culture that leans on the compiler to catch mistakes early.
• Design and implement REST endpoints following the team’s established API conventions.
• Work with real-time features as part of the platform’s live-update capability.
• Contribute to the data layer as the portal’s data needsgrow.

Testing, Quality & Delivery

• Write andmaintainautomated tests — unit and component-level — as a normal part of shipping a feature, not an afterthought.
• Keep code consistent and reviewable through the team’s linting and formatting standards.
• Containeriseservices whereappropriate, andunderstand what makes a build production-ready rather than just locally runnable.
• Contribute to the team’s approach to database testing as the data layer matures.
• Record significant technical decisions clearly, so the reasoning behind a choice is visible to the next person who needs it.
• Work day-to-day with the Customer Portal teamlead, taking direction on priorities while bringing your own judgement to how the work gets done.
• Communicate progress,blockersand trade-offs clearly — in code review, in standups, and in writing.
• Flag friction in process or tooling early, rather than working around it quietly.
• Contribute to a codebase other engineers will build on, with clarity and maintainability in mind.

AboutCloudGuard

CloudGuardis a UK-based Microsoft Security specialist MSSP – built differently from the ground up. Operating dual Security OperationsCentresin Manchester and Belfast, we combine deep Microsoft securityexpertisewith human-led operations to deliver security that is measurable, scalable, and continuously evolving. We exist to close the gap between the securityorganisationsthink they have and the security theyactually need. ‘Security. Done Different.’ is not a tagline —it’show weoperateevery day.

What We’re Looking For

Experience & Background

• Strong experience with TypeScript, ideally in a strict-mode codebase — comfortable with type narrowing, discriminated unions, and building without reliance on `any`.
• Hands-on experience with React specifically — itscomponentmodel, hooks and renderingbehaviour, not just general familiarity with acomponentframework.
• Experience building REST APIs on Node.js.
• Nice tohave: exposure to schema-first or contract-first API design — Express withOpenAPIor equivalent.
• Nice tohave: comfort with runtime type validation at trust boundaries — Zod, Yup, or similar.
• Nice tohave: experience writing unit andcomponenttests — Jest andReactTesting Library,Vitest, or equivalent.
• Nice tohave: containerisationfundamentals using Docker or an equivalent tool, and general scripting ability in Bash or PowerShell.
• Highly desirable: experience with the Azure technology stack — Azure Pipelines, Azure Container services, and Azure infrastructure more broadly.

Skills & Qualities

• Curious by default — you want to understand why a system isbuiltthe way it is, not just how to extend it.
• Comfortable with ambiguity — parts of the Customer Portal are still being defined, andyou’llhelp define them.
• Judgement alongside execution — able to flag a better approach, not just implementwhat’sasked.
• Clear communicator — in code review, in standups, and in writing.
• Collaborative — you understand that shipping software is a team effort, not a solo pursuit.
• Disciplined aboutquality without needing to be told — tests, types and lint checks are habits, not chores.
• Forward-looking — you think about what the codebase needs to support next, not just what it needs today.

Qualifications

• Degree-level education in a relevant field, or equivalent practical experience — whatyou’vebuilt matters more than the certificate.
• Eligible to work in the UK.
• Willing to undergo standard employment vetting checks common to an MSSP handling customer security data.

What You Can Expect fromCloudGuard

• A genuinely progressive, forward-thinking environment — we are not a traditionalMSSPand wedon’toperatelike one.
• Real ownership over a platformthat’sstill being built — your decisions on the Customer Portal will shape how it works for years.
• An engineering team and leadership that are accessible, invested in your development, and direct in their communication.
• Dual SOC operations in Manchester and Belfast — a business with real scale, real clients, and real ambition.
• Competitive salary and benefits package, reviewed regularly as the business grows.
• The opportunity to be part of CloudGuard’s next chapter — with all the challenge and reward that comes with it.
• Direct exposure toCloudGuard’swider product and platform strategy as it evolves.
• A genuine development path — from Junior/Mid toward Senior, with room to grow as the platform’s data needs expand.
