What does an Accessibility Engineer do?

An Accessibility Engineer ensures digital products, such as websites and applications, are usable by people with disabilities. They apply accessibility standards like WCAG, conduct audits, and collaborate with designers and developers to implement inclusive design practices. Their work involves testing assistive technologies, fixing accessibility issues, and advocating for compliance with legal and industry standards.

To thrive as an Accessibility Engineer, you need expertise in web development standards, WCAG guidelines, and practical experience with assistive technologies, often supported by a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with tools like screen readers, accessibility auditing software, and usability testing platforms, along with certifications such as CPACC or WAS, is highly valuable. Strong problem-solving abilities, collaboration, and clear communication set standout candidates apart. These skills ensure digital products are inclusive, compliant, and usable by everyone, meeting both legal requirements and organizational goals.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of an Accessibility Engineer?

Accessibility Engineers spend their days evaluating digital products for accessibility barriers, collaborating closely with designers and developers to implement improvements, and conducting regular audits using both automated tools and manual testing methods. They may write clear documentation, provide guidance on accessible coding practices, and participate in team meetings to ensure accessibility is considered at every project stage. The role often involves direct consultation with stakeholders and end users with disabilities to better understand real-world experiences. This hands-on and collaborative environment means no two days are exactly alike, making the work both impactful and dynamic.

Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled and passionate Lead Accessibility Engineer to join our team and drive our commitment to an accessible low-code software development platform. This role is a strategic leadership position instrumental in ensuring our products are inclusive and usable by people with disabilities while establishing a sustainable, scalable framework for accessibility at Appian.

The ideal candidate will move beyond tactical firefighting to focus on strategic industry knowledge and the operationalization of accessibility across large-scale software platforms.

This role is based at our Headquarters in McLean, Virginia. Appian was built on a culture of in-person collaboration, which we believe is a key driver of our mission to be the best. Employees hired for this position are expected to be in the office 5 days a week to foster that culture and ensure we continue to thrive through shared ideas and teamwork. We believe being in the office provides more opportunities to come together and celebrate working with the exceptional people across Appian. If you are not already located in the surrounding McLean, VA area, your willingness to relocate will be a contingency for this position.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead the implementation of Appian's Accessibility Operations Strategy, transitioning accessibility from a manual process to a standardized, documented requirement for platform changes.
  • Develop and execute an accessibility automation roadmap using AI-driven validations, automated static analysis, and regression protection.
  • Provide direction to accessibility contractors and future junior engineers, ensuring alignment with delivery and support teams.
  • Partner with Product, UX, QE, Developers, Customer Success, and Support to provide accessibility guidance, tools, and procedures.
  • Establish SLAs/SLOs for accessibility resolution and manage repeatable VPAT updates through internal processes and third-party audits.
  • Act as the accessibility subject matter expert for customer audits, legal inquiries, and accessibility-related customer conversations.
  • Drive cross-functional awareness of evolving global accessibility legislation and best practices.
  • Build relationships with customers to understand accessibility needs, resolve issues, and provide guidance.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, HCI, Web Design/Development, or related field preferred.
  • Proven accessibility engineering experience with strong knowledge of WCAG, Section 508, ADA, and related standards.
  • Hands-on experience with accessibility testing tools, techniques, and assistive technologies such as screen readers, speech recognition, screen magnifiers, and alternative input devices.
  • Practical knowledge of no-code or low-code platforms and accessibility implications.
  • Experience with automated accessibility testing tools and frameworks.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead accessibility initiatives across cross-functional teams.
  • Accessibility certifications preferred.
