Description
Remote Accessibility Front-End Developer
Elevate Digital Inclusion from Anywhere
Can your code empower every user—no matter their device, ability, or context? If you thrive on transforming web experiences into seamless, barrier-free journeys, this remote Accessibility Front-End Developer opportunity puts your talent in the spotlight. Here, you’ll do more than build beautiful interfaces: you’ll champion digital equity with every line of code. With an annual salary of $80,000, you’ll join a team where your commitment to inclusive, accessible design isn’t just valued—it’s foundational.
Your Impact: Shaping the Future of Web Accessibility
Every day, your choices will unlock access for thousands of users worldwide. You’ll take on complex accessibility challenges, from color contrast to keyboard navigation, knowing that your attention to detail directly impacts someone’s ability to connect, learn, and thrive online. Rather than ticking boxes for compliance, you’ll partner with designers, QA testers, and support teams to embed inclusive practices deep into the feature development cycle. Your feedback in accessibility audits will turn insights into lasting improvements, not temporary fixes.
Key Responsibilities: Driving Inclusive Front-End Experiences
- Transform accessibility guidelines (such as WCAG 2.2) into practical, scalable front-end solutions that serve everyone.
- Build reusable UI components in React or Vue that adhere to accessibility best practices from the initial commit.
- Shape onboarding workflows that remove friction for users with disabilities, ensuring every interaction is smooth and intuitive.
- Collaborate with product, UX, and engineering partners to launch features that reach—and delight—diverse audiences worldwide.
- Participate in peer code reviews, championing improvements that make our digital products usable by all.
- Lead accessibility-focused user testing sessions, where your findings shape design and development priorities for every sprint.
- Monitor and act on accessibility metrics using tools such as Axe, Lighthouse, and screen readers, continually striving for higher standards.
Work Environment: Purposeful, Collaborative, and Remote-First
We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus intensely—because great accessibility work requires careful thought and consideration. Our remote collaboration stack includes Figma for design feedback, Jira for backlog tracking, and Slack for daily team alignment. Whether you’re debugging a sticky keyboard trap or celebrating a new user milestone, you’ll find support from teammates who value both your technical expertise and your advocacy for digital inclusion.
Essential Tools and Technologies
- JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3, and modern front-end frameworks (React, Vue, or similar)
- Automated testing with Jest, Cypress, and accessibility-specific tools like Axe or Pa11y
- Familiarity with ARIA roles, semantic HTML, and assistive technologies (screen readers, alternative navigation tools)
- Experience using Git for version control and Figma for design handoff and accessibility annotations
What Sets You Apart
You don’t just follow checklists—you set the standard. Your expertise extends beyond technical skills; you listen deeply to user feedback, transform accessibility pain points into actionable solutions, and inspire teammates to elevate their own knowledge. You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom, during async code reviews, or in detailed documentation. Your commitment to inclusive, high-quality code shows up in every project, every PR, and every release.
Qualifications: Experience that Matters
- Proven experience building accessible web applications—show us how your work improved real-world usability.
- Advanced understanding of WCAG and current accessibility legislation
- Hands-on experience in conducting accessibility audits and implementing fixes
- Comfort collaborating across time zones and disciplines, bringing together product, UX, and engineering perspectives
- A portfolio or project list demonstrating accessible, scalable UI solutions (share what you’re proudest of!)
