JOB DETAILS
Requirements
- You have solid commercial experience building accessible web applications, with a good understanding of WCAG in practice rather than just on paper.
- You have hands-on experience developing with screen readers and are familiar with how VoiceOver, NVDA and JAWS behave technically, including quirks and inconsistencies, and you are comfortable debugging assistive technology interactions as part of your normal workflow.
- You can work effectively in a large, interconnected frontend codebase and understand how components, state, and rendering interact, and you approach accessibility as something that needs to be designed into a system rather than applied to it.
- You have strong proficiency in TypeScript and React and are comfortable reasoning about component structure and accessibility together.
- You communicate clearly across disciplines, explaining technical behavior of a screen reader to engineers and explaining constraints to designers when needed.
Responsibilities
- Designing and building accessible interactions in the Editor, including focus management, keyboard navigation, live regions, and ARIA roles and states that accurately reflect what the product is doing.
- Using screen readers as a daily development tool to test, debug, and validate your work, and being familiar with differences between VoiceOver, NVDA and JAWS in practice.
- Collaborating with engineers across the Editing Group to help them build accessible features from the start, including reviewing designs and pull requests, providing technical guidance, and working with teams to identify and resolve accessibility issues before they ship.
- Identifying systemic accessibility gaps in the Editor and developing solutions that address the underlying cause rather than patching individual instances, including architectural approaches.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with WAI-ARIA authoring patterns for complex widgets such as trees, grids, drag-and-drop interactions and dialogs.
- Experience building accessibility for complex interactions like streaming or real-time UI accessibility, HTML5 canvas, data visualization, spreadsheets, WYSIWYG, etc.
- Familiarity with browser and native accessibility APIs, including the accessibility tree and platform-specific behaviours.
- Experience building accessibility features utilizing AI.
- Experience with mobile accessibility, including React Native.
- Prior experience working alongside dedicated accessibility specialists, assistive technology users, or user researchers focused on accessibility.
