Description
Remote Web Accessibility Engineer
Empowering Digital Inclusion—From Anywhere
Can you see the possibility where others see barriers? For us, accessibility isn’t a checkbox—it’s the soul of every product. If you thrive on transforming interfaces into experiences everyone can access, you’ll find purpose here. As a remote Web Accessibility Engineer, your impact will reach thousands of users who rely on us to transform exclusion into participation. This role is an invitation to drive universal usability—no matter where you work from.
Role Purpose & Impact
You’ll be the architect behind inclusive journeys. Every ARIA label you optimize, every keyboard interaction you finesse, and every audit you conduct will shape products that respect and empower people of all abilities. Your advocacy turns standards into habits—and habits into innovation. We trust you to influence roadmaps, not just compliance docs.
Key Contributions
- Redesign interfaces to enable users with screen readers, voice commands, or alternative devices to navigate with confidence and independence.
- Transform accessibility audits into actionable improvement plans, ensuring that fixes aren’t just patches but opportunities to create seamless user experiences.
- Collaborate closely with product design and engineering, using your insights to launch features that serve tens of thousands worldwide.
- Lead workshops and office hours, sharing know-how so that accessibility is woven into every sprint review—not tacked on at the end.
- Your research on emerging accessibility tech keeps our product future-ready and competitive.
- Partner with QA, customer support, and community managers to ensure that user feedback drives every accessibility update.
What You’ll Shape Every Day
- Audit code and prototypes using tools like Axe, Lighthouse, and NVDA. Spot barriers before they block someone’s experience.
- Translate WCAG, ADA, and Section 508 requirements into simple, living guidelines that empower the entire product team.
- Shape onboarding flows that welcome every user. Your clarity turns uncertainty into confident action.
- Build and document reusable, accessible components so inclusivity scales with the platform's growth.
- Elevate documentation and onboarding materials so accessibility best practices are second nature—no matter the time zone.
Skills That Set You Apart
- You see through the eyes of users with varying abilities knowing empathy isn’t a buzzword—it’s your creative fuel.
- When you break down complex accessibility ideas, teammates get it, whether it’s in a Slack thread or a video walkthrough.
- You’ve delivered accessible web experiences on major frameworks—React, Vue, Angular, or plain JavaScript.
- Your knowledge encompasses automated testing, manual audits, and continuous improvement within fast-paced (yet focused) product cycles.
- Tools like Figma, Storybook, Jira, and Notion feel like extensions of your workflow.
- You don’t just meet standards—you raise them. When you spot a workaround, you propose a scalable fix instead.

Growth & Opportunities
