We’re making electric vehicle public charging simple, by building the giant, virtual charging platform of the future.
Responsibilities
- Concept, prototype, and build web experiences across public-facing marketing pages, landing pages, and core app UI for Octopus Fleet and Electroverse.
- Help evolve our shared component library into a true design system by building robust components, setting missing conventions, and bridging the UI gap across products.
- Refine micro-interactions, motion, and visual polish within our web apps to ensure craft isn't traded away when timelines tighten.
- Take unfinished inputs, from rough Figma sketches to early prototypes and translate them into clean, accessible code.
- Work directly alongside designers, product managers, and engineers as the bridge between design intent and shipped code.
Requirements
- Experience: 2+ years in front-end development, design engineering, or creative tech. Whether you started in design or engineering, you care about the output: shipped, accessible, on-brand code.
- AI-Native Workflow: Comfort routinely using AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude, Copilot, or equivalent) to move fast in exploration and delivery.
- Production React Fluency: Strong fundamentals in React and Next.js, with experience contributing clean code to shared repositories.
- Design System Experience: Excitement to do the foundational work required to elevate an active component library into a mature design system.
- Portfolio: A portfolio demonstrating visual craft, motion/animation, interactive web projects, or design system work.
- UI Design Fundamentals: Solid grounding in composition, spatial layout, visual hierarchy, typography, and easing curves.
- Accessibility Standards: Working knowledge of accessibility practices up to WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
- Experience with Storybook (or equivalent component documentation tools) for design system architecture.
- Familiarity with automated testing frameworks (we use Playwright and Jest) or a willingness to learn.
- Exposure to web observability, monitoring tools, or A/B testing setups.
- Experience running automated accessibility tests (e.g., axe-core).
