About the Role We are looking for a Front-End Developer with deep expertise in Section 508 accessibility compliance to build and validate accessible, standards-conform ant user interfaces. You will combine hands-on front-end engineering with rigorous accessibility testing and remediation — including screen reader proficiency — to ensure interfaces are fully usable by individuals with disabilities. This role works closely within a cross-functional Agile team alongside developers, system engineers, and product owners throughout the full development lifecycle.
Responsibilities Design, develop, and maintain front-end components and user interfaces conforming to Section 508 and WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA standards.
Perform comprehensive accessibility testing using JAWS and other assistive technologies, remediating issues related to keyboard navigation, focus management, ARIA implementation, color contrast, and semantic HTML structure.
Conduct manual and automated accessibility audits, document findings, and produce test reports to support compliance requirements.
Partner with UX/UI designers and product owners early in the design process to embed accessibility by design rather than retrofit it, and advise on accessible design patterns.
Integrate automated accessibility testing tools (e.g., axe-core, Pa11y, Lighthouse) into the CI/CD pipeline for continuous compliance monitoring.
Participate actively in Agile ceremonies — sprint planning, demos — and communicate accessibility requirements and tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Required Qualifications Front-end application development using modern JavaScript frameworks (Vue preferred)
Hands-on testing with JAWS screen reader and working familiarity with other assistive technologies
Strong knowledge of Section 508 standards, WCAG 2.1/2.2 (Levels A/AA), and ARIA authoring practices
Proficiency with semantic HTML, accessible form design, keyboard navigation patterns, and focus management
Experience with accessibility auditing tools such as axe Dev Tools, WAVE, Pa11y, and Lighthouse Version control with Git and Agile collaboration tools (Jira, Confluence)
Desired Qualifications Experience producing VPATs / Accessibility Conformance Reports for federal agency review
Experience integrating automated accessibility checks into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Git Lab CI/CD)
Experience with Cypress or similar tools for automated UI/accessibility test scripting
Familiarity with cloud-based architecture and deployment on AWS Familiarity with government agency reporting and dissemination policies
