Job description

Believ: ABOUT US

At Believ, formerly known as Liberty Charge, we believe sustainable transport should be accessible to everyone. We’re a Charge Point Operator (CPO) on a mission to create the UK’s most reliable electric vehicle charging network that doesn’t cost the earth and leaves no one behind.

We work closely with local authorities and businesses to deliver reliable, high quality charging networks at pace, at scale and at zero cost.

We offer all the advantages of being a scale-up business, but with the added security and long-term backing from well-known parents - Liberty Global (who also own our delivery partner, Virgin Media O2) and Zouk Capital (who manage the Government’s Charging Investment Infrastructure Fund).

You’ll be joining this exciting journey at the start of our scale-up phase, and work with us to hit the ambitious targets our shareholders have set. You’ll become part of a passionate and supportive team in a fast-paced, dynamic and result-driven environment.

About the role

We are seeking an experienced Frontend Developer to work on our in-house Charge Point Management System (CPMS) and customer-facing app and web portal. Reporting into the Head of Engineering, this role will be responsible for enhancing these platforms, which are 70% production-ready, to achieve feature parity with the incumbent SaaS solution. Following the migration, the focus will shift toward building innovative features and capabilities to deliver a market-leading platform.

Key Responsibilities:

React & TypeScript Development:

• Build, maintain, and optimize reusable components using React.js and TypeScript.
• Implement scalable solutions with clean, maintainable, and efficient code.

UI/UX Collaboration:

• Collaborate with designers to transform wireframes and prototypes into functional, responsive interfaces using Tailwind CSS for styling.
• Provide feedback to designers on feasibility and suggest enhancements to improve usability.

Testing & Performance Optimization:

• Write automated tests using tools such as Cypress or Jest to ensure functionality and prevent regressions.
• Optimize web applications for speed, responsiveness, and accessibility across different devices and browsers.

Integration & Support:

• Work closely with backend developers to integrate APIs seamlessly into the frontend.
• Troubleshoot and resolve UI bugs and performance issues promptly.

Continuous Learning & Improvement:

• Stay updated with emerging frontend technologies like Remix and best practices.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of team workflows and coding standards.
