About You: Required Qualifications One to two years of experience in accessibility testing or related QA roles. Familiarity with accessibility standards, including WCAG 2.1/2.2, ADA Title II, and Section 508. Hands-on experience with assistive technologies like screen readers (e.g., NVDA, JAWS) and alternative input methods (e.g., keyboard-only navigation). Strong attention to detail and documentation skills. Effective collaboration with diverse teams, including developers and designers. Preferred/Desired Qualifications Experience with tools like Accessibility Insights, WAVE, or Siteimprove. Knowledge of digital accessibility best practices in web and mobile interfaces. Understanding of NYS STL Section 103-d and P08-005 requirements. Experience working within government or large organizations. Accessibility certifications (e.g., CPACC, Trusted Tester) are a plus. Education and Experience: Bachelor's degree and at least two years of related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. The target salary range is $60,000 - $82,000 per year, based on skills, experience, and other factors.
