Senior Full Stack Developer (Accessibility Tools)

We're looking for an experienced senior level developer to help us develop developer-centric accessibility tools. We work primarily in TypeScript and Node.js, but also write some integrations in other languages such as Java, Ruby, Python, and C#, so the willingness to learn other languages is a plus. This position will be responsible for helping us continue to shift left by enabling developers to test their code's accessibility before even merging it.

As a member of the team, you will leverage DOM analysis, code scanning techniques, browser APIs, and modern web technologies to build developer-focused tools including Node.js libraries, VSCode extensions, CLI utilities, and APIs. You'll work on the tooling infrastructure that powers accessibility testing and may contribute directly to axe-core itself, our industry-leading accessibility testing engine. As a market leader, Deque is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in developer accessibility tooling, and you will play a critical role in creating innovative solutions that seamlessly integrate into developers' existing workflows.

Our team is fully remote and has very flexible working hours. You can find an example of the sort of code our team works on at https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core.
