• Use approved accessibility testing tools such as WAVE, ANDI, Accessibility Insights (web and desktop), NVDA, PDF Accessibility Checker, and Evinced
• Follow established testing and remediation procedures
• Track progress, log results, and communicate updates with the team
• Support additional applications or teams as bandwidth allows

What we’re looking for:

• Working knowledge of ADA, Section 508, or WCAG accessibility standards
• Experience testing web applications or digital content for accessibility
• Familiarity with accessibility testing tools or assistive technologies
• Strong attention to detail and comfort with structured, repeatable work
• Ability to work independently in a fully remote environment

Nice to have (not required):
