  • Remediate digital files and documents (specifically complex PDFs, forms, and multimedia content) to ensure full compliance with Section 508 standards.
  • Conduct code reviews and audit accessibility trees, DOM structures, and design components within design systems.
Compliance Reporting & Governance
  • Draft and maintain Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPAT 2.4/INT or Revised Section 508 Edition) and Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs).
  • Maintain test cases, compliance matrices, and remediation logs for internal audits and client-facing deliverables.
  • Stay up to date on evolving federal accessibility regulations, Section 508 refreshed guidelines, WCAG updates, and industry tools.
Training & Mentorship
  • Educate product managers, designers, developers, and content teams on accessibility standards and inclusive design principles.
  • Help establish and refine digital accessibility testing standards, workflows, and automated pipeline integration (CI/CD).
Security Clearance & Eligibility Requirements
  • Security Clearance: Must possess an active DHS Public Trust suitability determination or an active DoD Secret security clearance (or have the ability to obtain and maintain one based on contract specifications).
  • Citizenship: U.S. Citizenship is required due to government contract security mandates.
Required Qualifications
  • Experience: 3+ years of dedicated experience performing accessibility testing, remediation, and reporting for web applications, mobile apps, or digital documents.
  • Standards Expertise: Deep, working knowledge of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, WCAG 2.1 / 2.2 (Levels A and AA), and WAI-ARIA 1.2 specifications.
  • Assistive Technology Proficiency: Hands-on experience with screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver) and standard AT configurations.
  • Testing Tools: Experience with automated audit tools (e.g., axe, WAVE, Deque Worldspace, ARC, Accessibility Insights, Acrobat Pro Accessibility Checker).

  • Documentation: Proven experience writing clear defect reports, remediation steps, and standard VPAT / ACR documents.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Certifications: Industry certifications such as:
    • DHS Trusted Tester Certification (v5+) (highly preferred)
    • IAAP Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC)
    • IAAP Web Accessibility Specialist (WAS)
  • Development Background: Prior experience as a front-end developer or UI engineer working with modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, Vue).
