Senior Fullstack Developer, Accessibility team

Solving accessibility is NP-hard

The Task

Develop software that can analyze HTML and the associated CSS and JavaScript and determine precisely what elements makes that web page not accessible.

Make sure the results are presented by the software so that a diverse group of professionals: Content writers, developers and UX/UI designers, all understand and can take action on them.

Ensure this can be done 10+ million times a day - every day, without interruptions.

If this has peaked your professional interest, and your skillset and experience is up for the task, then Team Accessibility is the right place for you.

The Siteimprove toolbox

C#, JavaScript, Typescript, SQL, ASP.NET MVC, React, jQuery, Knockout
AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Mesos, Marathon, Kafka
Redis, CloudFormation, Terraform, bash

Of all the tools in our tool box, C#/.NET and JavaScript are the most used, so we expect high proficiency with those.

We value general skills and experience higher than any specific technology, and technology stacks should always be challenged, improved and renewed. If you have an interest in any of the above, or if you have something to add, we will consider that a bonus.
