As an UX Engineer on the Accessibility team, you will contribute to the creation and evolution of accessible user interfaces. You’ll collaborate with designers, product managers, engineers, and QAs to ensure that all user experiences are built with accessibility as a foundational component.

Once here you will…

Act as a representative for the needs of customers with disabilities

Understand and balance product and business priorities while advocating for the best, most accessible user experience

Partner with engineering teams to improve implementation and evangelize accessibility best practices

Participate in code review to ensure adherence to WCAG Guidelines, HTML Standards, and internal best practices.

Participate in design review to ensure that visual standards are met and purely-visual cues are accounted for

Attend SCRUM rituals with product teams to clarify requirements, determine scope, and prioritize accessibility-related items

Collaborate with colleagues and engage in research and development to advance the accessibility of our products. This includes building proofs-of-concept for new components and patterns

Collaborate closely with our design systems teams to ensure that design standards and components are build accessible from the ground up

Understand the underlying needs and motivation of our clients to ensure we achieve business goals and provide value to our clients

Form holistic solutions that integrate seamlessly into our wealth management product ecosystem

Work closely with the larger Wealth Management UX team to share design best practices, align on patterns, and promote a design-centric culture at the firm

Relevant experience and mindset…

You’ve spent 3+ years as a front-end engineer in either web or native mobile development

You are passionate about, and comfortable explaining and advocating for front-end semantics, accessible design patterns, and standards-compliant implementation

You have some familiarity with WCAG Guidelines, WAI-ARIA, Apple Human Interface Guidelines, or other accessibility technologies.

You have some familiarity using websites and apps using keyboard, switches, or screen readers (we use Voiceover, NVDA, JAWS, and Talkback).

You are motivated and prepared to work in any framework in the service of improving user experience. Previous experience in any of the following will be useful: HTML/CSS/JS, Angular or React, and Swift or Kotlin.

You’re passionate about front-end engineering and accessibility and ready to share your knowledge with teammates and other stakeholders

You thrive in a collaborative, explorative environment and value being on a diverse team that you can bounce ideas off of, get critical feedback from, and unite with to mature design thinking within a large organization

You practice active listening and contribute in group situations (i.e. brainstorms, audits, critiques, whiteboard sessions, etc.)

You get excited by complex projects with high levels of ambiguity and are resilient in the face of obstacles

You have a relentless desire to validate assumptions and uncover a problem’s root cause by testing, learning, and iterating

You have a knack for balancing user goals, technology needs and business objectives and can clearly explain the rationale for your designs and how they achieve both

PM Updates:

We are looking for people who are great engineers, more-so than we are looking for people who specialize in accessibility. This is a developer role working specifically in accessibility tech. This person must be an excellent problem solver who can solve complex puzzles and then confidently present to product owners. A majority of the time spent is writing code for proofs of concept, doing code reviews to make sure it is accessible, and writing technical acceptance criteria for implementation by developers.
