Senior Frontend Engineer Editing Accessibility
Employment Info
JOB DETAILS
Requirements
- solid commercial experience building accessible web applications, with a good understanding of WCAG in practice
- hands-on experience developing with screen readers, understanding how VoiceOver, NVDA and JAWS behave technically, including their quirks and inconsistencies, and debugging assistive technology interactions as part of normal workflow
- ability to work effectively in a large, interconnected frontend codebase, understanding how components, state, and rendering interact, and treating accessibility as something that needs to be designed into a system
- strong proficiency in TypeScript and React, comfortable reasoning about component structure and accessibility together
Responsibilities
- Designing and building accessible interactions in the Editor, including focus management, keyboard navigation, live regions, and the 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 work, familiar with differences between VoiceOver, NVDA and JAWS, not just in theory
- 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, often architectural
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 visualisation, spreadsheets, WYSIWYG, etc.
- Familiarity with browser and native accessibility APIs, including the accessibility tree and platform-specific behaviours
- Experience building accessibility features utilising AI
- Experience with mobile accessibility, including React Native
- Prior experience working alongside dedicated accessibility specialists, assistive technology users, or user researchers focused on accessibility
