What are some common challenges Senior Accessibility Engineers face when integrating accessibility features into existing products?

Senior Accessibility Engineers often encounter challenges such as retrofitting legacy codebases, ensuring compliance with evolving accessibility standards, and balancing feature development with accessibility requirements. Collaborating with designers and developers to advocate for accessible solutions and educating cross-functional teams can also be complex. Addressing these challenges requires strong technical expertise, communication skills, and a proactive approach to integrating accessibility from the start of each project.

What does a Senior Accessibility Engineer do?

A Senior Accessibility Engineer is responsible for ensuring that digital products, such as websites and applications, are usable by people of all abilities, including those with disabilities. They lead accessibility initiatives, conduct audits, recommend improvements, and collaborate with design and development teams to implement accessible solutions. Their expertise helps organizations comply with legal standards like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). They often mentor junior staff and advocate for accessibility best practices throughout the development lifecycle.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Senior Accessibility Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Senior Accessibility Engineer, you need in-depth knowledge of web accessibility standards (such as WCAG), strong front-end development skills, and experience with assistive technologies, typically backed by a relevant degree or equivalent experience. Familiarity with tools like screen readers, accessibility testing suites (e.g., Axe, WAVE), and version control systems is essential. Exceptional problem-solving, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly are vital soft skills. These skills ensure digital products are usable by people of all abilities, comply with legal requirements, and provide an inclusive user experience.

What is the difference between Senior Accessibility Engineer vs Accessibility Specialist?

Senior Design Engineer

Summation Technologies, Inc

Bellevue, WA • On-site

Full-time

Posted 22 days ago

Job description

About Summation
Summation is building an AI Business Planning Platform for CFOs and finance teams. We combine a real-time modeling layer with Addison, our AI calculation engine, to turn messy enterprise data into decision-grade insights. Customers use Summation to model scenarios, explain variances, and automate weekly and monthly reviews.
The Role
Design Engineering at Summation lives at the intersection of product design and frontend engineering. As a Senior Design Engineer, you will ship beautiful, high-performance product experiences in production code, lead our design system, prototype new interactions, and raise the bar on accessibility, motion, and polish. You will partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering, moving from Figma to code to shipped features.
Roles & Responsibilities
  • Build production UI in React and TypeScript for Summation's web app
  • Lead the Summation Design System: tokens, components, theming, accessibility, docs, and release workflow
  • Prototype end-to-end product ideas in code, validate with real data, and graduate winners into production
  • Craft motion and micro-interactions that clarify meaning and reduce cognitive load
  • Translate flows and states from Figma into resilient, testable components with strong state management
  • Drive UI performance: bundle hygiene, code-split plans, rendering strategy, perceived latency
  • Partner with data visualization to express complex financial concepts with clarity
  • Establish guardrails: lint rules, Storybook checks, accessibility checks, visual regression in CI
  • Mentor engineers and designers on interaction patterns, system thinking, and front-of-frontend craft
  • Contribute to product quality across the stack through reviews, pairing, and high-signal documentation
You will love this role if you
  • Love working across design and code, and care about the details users feel
  • Think in systems: tokens, states, variants, docs, upgrade paths
  • Prototype ideas fast and are comfortable deleting code after an experiment
  • Believe accessibility, performance, and clarity are product features
  • Enjoy collaborating with PMs, designers, and backend engineers in a high-context startup
Required experience
  • 4+ years building production web UI with React and TypeScript
  • Strong CSS fundamentals: layout, fluid type and spacing, responsive systems, motion
  • Design system experience: tokens, component architecture, Storybook, documentation
  • Data visualization in production using one of Recharts, D3, Visx, ECharts, or similar
  • Accessibility and quality: semantic HTML, WCAG basics, keyboard and screen reader support, automated checks
  • Figma fluency: components, variants, auto-layout, dev mode, and handoff
  • Proven ability to take a concept from Figma to shipped code without heavy PM overhead
Nice to have
  • Remix or Next.js, Tailwind, shadcn/ui
  • Framer Motion for interaction design
  • WebGL or Canvas experience for advanced interactions
  • Visual regression and accessibility tooling in CI
  • Experience in fintech, analytics, or complex data products
