Job Description
- The client is seeking a Digital Accessibility Web Developer with deep experience in remediating accessibility issues across a wide range of platforms and technologies.
- You will partner closely with our accessibility testers and analysts to turn accessibility audit findings into fully remediated digital experiences that meet or exceed compliance standards.
- The ideal candidate will have expert-level experience remediating accessibility barriers in CMS systems such as Sitecore, Salesforce, and custom web applications (HTML/ARIA/CSS/JavaScript), as well as working knowledge of AWS services, Biznet platforms, and enterprise databases.
- You will be hands-on in HTML and accessibility markup remediation, working primarily within the client’s CMS platforms and custom HTML environments.

- Work within CMS platforms like Sitecore, Salesforce, and Wordpress to correct issues in templates, content types, and presentation layers
- Support content and design teams with accessibility guidance for remediating documents, forms, and embedded media
- Use defect tracking tools (JIRA) to manage tickets and document fixes
- Collaborate with accessibility testers and content strategists to validate remediated work and prevent recurrence of issues
- Share knowledge and remediation patterns with other developers to promote consistency and sustainability
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, IT, or related field
- 4+ years of experience remediating digital accessibility issues in websites, apps, and platforms
- Strong coding experience in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and ARIA markup
- Working knowledge of Sitecore and Salesforce platforms, with demonstrated remediation success
- Familiarity with Biznet applications, AWS infrastructure, or common enterprise back-end platforms
- Ability to interpret automated and manual testing results (e.g., Axe, ANDI, NVDA, JAWS) and apply solutions
- Expert knowledge of WCAG 2.1 AA standards and assistive technology interactions
- Proficiency in CMS templates, JavaScript frameworks, backend API configuration, and UI component libraries
- Experience troubleshooting keyboard traps, focus management, form label/field logic, and responsive layouts
- Strong ability to work in agile sprints, manage remediation tickets, and track progress in Jira or similar tools
- Ability to collaborate with QA testers, content editors, and project managers in an agile environment
- Excellent communication and documentation skills for communicating fixes and coaching teams
- Experience with Sitecore MVC or SXA customization
- Front-end developer or CMS certifications
- Accessibility remediation tools
- Experience with customized CMS themes, templates, and components
- Strong attention to content structure (heading levels, alt text, semantic HTML)
- Experience remediating PDF, Word, or PowerPoint documents (for secondary support)
- Familiarity with CI/CD integration of accessibility checks (i.e., axe-core in pipelines)
- Familiarity with design handoff tools (i.e., Figma or Adobe XD) for accessibility review
