>Accessibility Auditor Job Description
>
>About Us
>
>We provide accessibility audits, remediation support and ongoing
>monitoring for companies large and small. Our diverse team brings a
>breadth of experience in accessibility, web development, marketing and
>technology that is focused on making websites more accessible for all
>people.
>
>
>The Position
>
>In this position, you will be at the core of our day-to-day
>operations, helping identify issues with websites, mobile applications
>and other digital assets for our customers.  You will also help with
>the ‘artistry’ of audits, helping our customers fix these issues in a
>way that is not only compliant but intuitive and usable.
>
>Our teams typically consist of a pair of auditors.  One auditor is
>doing the screen reader portion of the audit.  This person is
>typically blind and technically proficient in order to identify issues
>found within a site.  The other person is handling keyboard-only,
>color contrast and related accessibility issues.  This person is also
>helping the screen reader auditor to identify other visual issues that
>may not be readily apparent.
>
>Because we work in pairs, many of these skills can be in either
>auditor but do not necessarily need to be in both.
>

>* Ability to quickly identify and articulate problems on a web page
>* Proficient in HTML, some CSS and perhaps Javascript

>* Web front-end development experience
>* Web back-end development experience
>* Quality Assurance experience
