About iSoft. At iSoft, we are on a mission to secure the digital frontier for a safer future. We are a trusted cybersecurity firm based in Manchester, specializing in providing comprehensive, tailored, and affordable security solutions to small and medium‑sized businesses (SMBs). We recognized that SMBs were being forced to choose between expensive in‑house teams or complex vendor solutions. To bridge this gap, we developed a unique, SaaS‑based cybersecurity service that balances efficacy with affordability. We are not just a service provider; we are a partner in progress for our clients. As we continue to grow, we need a talented Web Developer to help us build and maintain the digital tools that protect our clients and drive our mission forward.

Role: We are looking for a skilled Web Developer to take ownership of our web presence, client portals, and internal tools. You will play a key role in developing the user‑facing and backend systems that deliver our cybersecurity services across the UK. You will work closely with our cybersecurity analysts and product team to create secure, high‑performance, and intuitive web applications that make complex security concepts simple for our clients.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop & maintain iSoft’s primary website, client dashboards, and the front‑end of our proprietary SaaS‑based cybersecurity service.
• Implement secure coding practices (e.g., OWASP Top 10) to ensure all web properties are resilient against common vulnerabilities.
• Integrate third‑party security tools, CRM systems, and compliance engines via RESTful APIs.
• Ensure our web applications are fast, responsive, and scalable, providing a seamless experience for SMB clients monitoring their cyber defenses.
• Work with the design and marketing teams to translate requirements into functional, user‑friendly interfaces that communicate trust and expertise.
• Diagnose and resolve front‑end and back‑end issues, ensuring 99.9% uptime for client‑facing portals.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Proven experience: 3+ years of professional experience in full‑stack web development.
• Front‑End: Strong proficiency in HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), and a modern framework like React.js or Vue.js.
• Back‑End: Solid experience with a server‑side language such as Python (Django/Flask) or Node.js (Express).
• Databases: Proficiency with PostgreSQL or MySQL.
• Version control: Expert use of Git (GitHub/GitLab).
• Security mindset: Demonstrable understanding of secure coding principles, authentication (OAuth, JWT), and data protection (GDPR awareness).
• Hosting/Cloud: Experience deploying and managing applications on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or DigitalOcean).

Desirable (Nice to Have):

• Familiarity with cybersecurity concepts (e.g., penetration testing basics, SOC monitoring, compliance frameworks like ISO 27001).
• Experience developing SaaS products or client portals.
• Knowledge of Docker/containerisation.
• Understanding of UI/UX design principles for B2B software.
