>SSB BART Group (SSB) helps companies design and 
>enhance their IT systems – including web sites, 
>web applications, software, hardware, and 
>services – so they are usable by people with 
>disabilities. In the same way that buildings 
>must conform to the Americans with Disabilities 
>Act (ADA) modern web sites and applications must 
>be accessible to people with disabilities or 
>face legal liability. SSB allows organizations 
>to address these risks through software, 
>training, and consulting solutions. This ensures 
>that people with disabilities have equal access 
>to, and use of, IT systems. With over 1000 
>public and private sector customers SSB is the 
>leader in the growing field of accessible IT 
>solutions. Our proven Accessibility Management 
>Platform (AMP) is the industry’s first on-demand 
>solution that integrates the business and 
>technical aspects of complying with regulations 
>such as Section 508, ADA, and WCAG.
>
>SSB has an immediate opening for an Assistive 
>Technology (AT) Tester. The ideal candidate will 
>have significant experience working with 
>assistive technology, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, 
>and will possess strong verbal and written 
>communication skills. The candidate will have a 
>bachelor’s degree and relevant work experience.
>
>The AT Tester will work with clients to validate 
>user interfaces against accessibility design 
>requirements. SSB is a vibrant, fast-paced 
>workplace, and the AT Tester will be expected to 
>keep up with tight deadlines. Knowledge of 
>accessibility testing is not a requirement — SSB 
>will train the AT Tester in all relevant design 
>requirements. But significant experience with 
>assistive technology is a requirement.
>
>Responsibilities
>
>§  Test Set Definition – The AT Tester will work 
>with the client to determine the boundaries of 
>the testing environment. The AT Tester will 
>identify a representative test set of the user 
>interface components found in the client’s system.
>
>§  Testing – The AT Tester will test the 
>client’s IT system against specific manual and assistive technology tools.
>
>§  Delivery – The AT Tester will deliver testing 
>results to the client and will participate in 
>conference calls and follow-up discussions in 
>order to create a road map to improve the 
>accessibility and usability of the client’s IT system.
>
>Qualifications
>
>§  AT Experience - If you use a screen reader or 
>other assistive technology all day every day we 
>are looking for you. The ideal candidate will 
>have extensive experience using assistive 
>technologies and will use them as the primary 
>means of controlling their computer or mobile system.
>
>§  Technical Experience - If the terms HTML, 
>JavaScript and CSS are familiar to you this is 
>probably a good job for you. We are looking for 
>someone with a core understanding of web 
>development technologies and how they produce 
>user experiences. Experience developing with 
>Adobe Flash applications and PDF documents is a plus.
>
>§  Testing Focus - A large portion of what we do 
>involves testing interfaces and verifying that 
>they conform to technical requirements. A desire 
>to perform this validation and experience 
>testing web-based interfaces for compliance with 
>design specifications is critical.
>
>§  Communicative - You should be able to clearly 
>and effectively communicate with clients in both 
>written and verbal fashion. Written 
>communication should show a high attention to 
>detail. Verbal communication should be formal 
>and indicate the ability to communicate complex topics concisely.
>
>§  Organized and Disciplined - SSB has a culture 
>of disciplined execution over a long period of 
>time. We seek to hire and advance people that 
>have this focus and can execute activities on 
>their own, over a long period of time without a 
>large amount of management oversight. A 
>candidate that will succeed in this environment 
>should have a desire to grow in the system over 
>several years and seek to build towards big goals – over a long period of time.
>
>§  Excellence Focused - At SSB, we have been 
>successful because we constantly seek to be the 
>best in our market across all of the products 
>and services we provide. Think the Ritz Carlton, 
>not the Holiday Inn. In practice, that means we 
>both charge more and invest more, with the end 
>goal of providing far more value per dollar 
>spent than our competitors. It also means that 
>we focus on a very high level of quality and 
>hold ourselves accountable for delivering 
>against that level of quality. As an Account 
>Manager, we will give you the discretion and 
>empowerment to act in the best interests of the 
>customer. As part of that we expect you, in 
>turn, to hold other team members accountable for 
>delivering high levels of quality and value to the customer.
>
>§  Small Team Experience - SSB is a small, 
>growing company with teams in three offices 
>across the country. Experience working in a 
>small office environment with flexible roles and 
>responsibilities is a desired component.
>
>§  Education - College degree – BA/BS – or equivalent is desired.
>
>Application Process
>
>Salary is commensurate with experience. This is 
>a full-time, salaried position with a competitive benefits package.
>
>For immediate consideration, send a cover letter 
>and resume to 
><mailto:jobs at ssbbartgroup.com>jobs at ssbbartgroup.com. 
>Please include the phrase “AT Tester” in the 
>subject line. Failure to include this in the 
>subject line will indicate an inability to read 
>the job description and follow simple 
>instructions. So, pretty please, put it in the subject line?
