## Job description

WHO ARE WE?

At UpGuard, we are replacing manual security bottlenecks with AI-driven precision. Fresh off a US$75M Series C, we are scaling our infrastructure to process 100 billion risk signals daily. This isn’t just growth; it’s a total reimagining of how the world manages cyber risk.

We build the Cyber Risk Posture Management (CRPM) platform that security teams actually love. By integrating security ratings, threat intel, and agentic AI, we empower organisations to stay ahead of an ever evolving attack surface.

We aren’t just building another tool; we’re defining a category. We provide the autonomy to ship world-class technology and the resources to do it at a global scale.

Where does this role fit in?

The Marketing team at UpGuard includes multiple marketing and design functions, including Product Marketing, Demand Gen, Marketing Ops, Content Marketing, SEO, Community, Design, and Video. UpGuard’s vision is to become a leader in the markets we play in (Cyber VRM, Attack Surface Management) by providing a best-in-class SaaS platform for organizations to manage their third-party risk and external attack surface. Our purpose as a Marketing team is to facilitate this goal by growing UpGuard with a repeatable and scalable marketing engine and a leading brand.

This role is a pivotal technical position within UpGuard's marketing team, focusing on the full-stack development of our website. You'll be instrumental in building robust and high-performing web experiences, from intricate front-end interfaces to powerful back-end systems (largely leveraging Netlify). This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute significantly to our ongoing tech stack evolution, including the implementation of the Astro framework. You'll work closely with our cross-functional web team, including designers, content strategists, and SEO specialists, to translate design concepts into functional realities, develop interactive tools, and ensure our website stands as a leading example of modern web development in the SaaS space.

What will you do?

- Full-Stack Web Development: Take ownership of both front-end and back-end development for UpGuard's marketing website, ensuring seamless integration, high performance, and scalability.
- Tech Stack Evolution & Implementation: Play a key role in the research, adoption, and implementation of new web technologies, with a strong focus on Astro, Netlify and other modern frameworks, contributing to architectural decisions and best practices.
- Build Interactive Experiences: Develop and implement dynamic and interactive content, including tools, calculators, and programmatic features, working closely with designers to bring user experience concepts to life.
- CMS Integration & Optimization: Work with various modern CMS platforms, optimizing their integration and performance to facilitate content delivery and marketing initiatives.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate effectively with our web designers and key project stakeholders to implement UI/UX designs, and with content and SEO specialists to ensure technical SEO best practices and content delivery.
- Performance & Security: Develop with a strong focus on website performance, accessibility, responsiveness, and security across all devices and browsers.
- Maintenance & Support: Provide ongoing maintenance, troubleshooting, and support for existing website features and infrastructure.

What will you bring?

- Full-Stack Development Expertise with emphasis on front-end skills: Proven experience (8+ years) with a strong portfolio of projects, ideally within a SaaS environment.
- Modern Web Technologies: A comprehensive understanding and hands-on experience with a range of modern web technologies, including front-end frameworks (e.g., Astro, React, Vue, Svelte) and back-end languages/frameworks (we're predominantly Typescript on Node.js/Deno but experience in Python, Ruby, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service platforms is considered valuable).
- CMS Proficiency: Experience working with and optimizing various Content Management Systems (CMS).
- UI/UX Implementation: Strong ability to translate design mockups and UX flows into pixel-perfect and highly functional web interfaces.
- Problem-Solving & Collaboration: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to work collaboratively within a cross-functional team.
- Code Quality & Best Practices: A commitment to writing clean, well-documented, and maintainable code, adhering to industry best practices.

What will give you an edge?

- Experience with Infrastructure-as-a-Service platforms or cloud platforms (e.g., Netlify, AWS) and CI/CD pipelines.
- Familiarity with database design.
- Experience with Jamstack architecture.
- Experience with internationalisation (i18n), content translation, and regionalised product offerings
