Description
Remote Frontend Accessibility Developer
Redefine Digital Access—From Anywhere
What happens when digital experiences are built for everyone? You create opportunities, open doors, and help users thrive—regardless of how they interact with the web. If you’ve ever redesigned a navigation flow so that keyboard users breeze through with zero friction, or you’ve caught that one aria-label that made all the difference, you know the power of thoughtful frontend accessibility. That’s the vision here: empower millions to engage confidently with you, shaping the future of inclusive technology from wherever you work best.
Your Mission: Transform Usability for All
What if your daily work could mean someone navigates a career site for the first time without barriers? Or a student aces a class project because your interface works—for screen readers, voice commands, and every device imaginable? Your craft is more than code; it’s a commitment to digital dignity. Here, your expertise ensures that our products not only pass WCAG standards but also become benchmarks for accessible design. Every pixel, every flow, and every interactive element presents an opportunity to make technology universally usable.
Key Outcomes and Responsibilities
Design Accessible Frontends with Impact
- Build and refine interfaces that are clear, intuitive, and joyful for every user—whether on mobile, desktop, or assistive tech.
- Audit and elevate codebases by weaving in semantic HTML, ARIA best practices, and dynamic accessibility checks using industry-standard tools.
- Guide component libraries, ensuring reusable patterns scale accessibility from the ground up.
Champion User-Centric Testing and Feedback
- Partner with design, engineering, and QA to stage inclusive user journeys—anticipating challenges and resolving them before they reach production.
- Collaborate with user advocates and actual users with disabilities, integrating feedback directly into releases that impact thousands globally.
- Harness analytics and real-world feedback to identify issues that scanners cannot detect, refining solutions until access is seamless.
Lead Knowledge Sharing and Culture Shift
- Translate complex accessibility standards into practical team playbooks and micro-lessons, incorporating them into everyone’s workflow.
- Mentor teammates—whether it’s a deep dive on contrast ratios or quick tips for semantic markup—fostering a culture of shared learning.
- Stay ahead with trends in accessibility, bringing new tools and methodologies into our agile, outcome-focused environment.
Your Toolkit: Skills and Technologies
- Mastery of modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, or similar), with a passion for optimizing accessibility at every step.
- Deep experience with HTML5, CSS, and techniques for responsive, adaptive, and device-agnostic layouts.
- Proficiency in using and configuring accessibility auditing tools like Axe, Lighthouse, and NVDA or JAWS screen readers.
- Confidence in navigating Git-based workflows, automated testing pipelines, and CI/CD platforms.
- The ability to translate WCAG, ADA, and Section 508 guidelines into tangible solutions that deliver value for users—not just check compliance boxes.
Work Environment: Remote-First, Human Always
We’re a remote-native team that values real-life balance, not just talk. Your day might start with a design review on Figma, followed by a co-coding session over Zoom and time to focus intensely before sync-ups on Slack. We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to step back, reflect, and invest in quality. Expect to work closely with product managers, QA engineers, and customer advocates, all united in creating digital products that benefit everyone.
What Sets You Apart
You’re the person who asks, “How does this feel with only a keyboard?” and then makes it better. You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom or Slack—bringing clarity to teammates at every skill level. You don’t just spot accessibility gaps; you create pathways for others to learn and contribute. Your drive for inclusion is matched by technical expertise, empathy, and a natural curiosity for “what if” and “why not.”
Growth, Impact, and Compensation
Here, your voice shapes every product milestone—your feedback isn’t just heard; it’s needed. Whether introducing new accessibility features or sharing best practices, your ideas move quickly from prototype to production. We value initiative, creativity, and the kind of leadership that prioritizes accessibility as a team goal, not a solo mission.
Annual Salary: $110,412—reflecting your advanced skill set and the transformative impact you’ll deliver. This includes access to comprehensive benefits, ongoing learning stipends, and a culture that genuinely values balance, wellness, and your unique perspective.
