>Interested in working for a company that provides you a chance to grow
>professionally, give back to society and make money doing it?
>
>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?
