Job Requirements QA Engineer II - Role Overview We are seeking an Intermediate Accessibility QA Engineer to validate and improve the accessibility of our platforms. In this role candidate will test complex, real-time interactive components such as dynamic comboboxes, auto-suggestions, voice-input controls and rich media snippet cards to guarantee full compliance with WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA standards.
Key Responsibilities 4+ years of dedicated experience in digital accessibility testing and QA
Conduct manual accessibility evaluations on dynamic elements, including dynamic dropdowns, live region announcements, query filter chips, and pagination/infinite scroll.
Perform end-to-end user flow testing using screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver on macOS/iOS, TalkBack on Android) and keyboard-only navigation.
Verify keyboard focus indicators, logical tab ordering, search landmark usage, and "Skip to Search Results" shortcut implementations.
Run automated accessibility scans using tools like axe DevTools, Lighthouse, and Accessibility Insights; assist in maintaining automated axe-core test suites in the CI/CD pipeline.
Log high-quality bug reports with exact reproduction steps, impact severity on users with disabilities, and code-level remediation recommendations (HTML semantics, ARIA attributes).
Partner with frontend engineers and UX designers during sprint planning and PR reviews to catch accessibility regressions early.
Solid working knowledge of WCAG 2.1/2.2 Level A and AA criteria, Section 508, and WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices Guide (APG).
Clear understanding of how to test and validate complex interactive widgets like Combobox, Listbox, Dialogs, Tooltips, and ARIA Live Regions.
Hands-on proficiency testing across primary browser and screen reader combinations (Chrome/NVDA, Edge/JAWS, Safari/VoiceOver, Chrome/TalkBack).
Ability to inspect the DOM, evaluate color contrast ratios, check accessible names in DevTools, and read basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
2–4 years of software testing experience, with at least 2 years focused specifically on web/mobile accessibility QA.
