Frontend Developer - Accessibility

Are you passionate about delivering easy to use interfaces to thousands of web editors around the globe? Do you love working with web technologies and feel confident you are a great frontend developer? Then you might be exactly who we are looking for.

Overview
Siteimprove is looking for an ambitious, creative and user-centric frontend software developer to help us in our mission to make the web better for all. You will be joining our Accessibility product development team and help us build friendly interfaces to guide online content owners to find accessibility issues on their platforms.

You will help us expand our product to include WAI-ARIA tests and present and highlight issues in an easy and understandable way. 

You have built user interfaces that people like to use, and have both practical experience and opinions on what great user experience is about. You have proven records in building web applications and likely experimented with single page JavaScript apps on top of REST API’s and you consider yourself a great JavaScript developer. 

You know how to support several brands and generations of browsers from IE9 and onwards. It helps if you are a little nerdy about accessibility and web standards and perhaps you have used either open source tools or thought of building your own to help checking websites for accessibility issues. You know how to build interfaces for people who use different kinds of assistive devices.  

Visit our website http://siteimprove.com/features/web-accessibility/ for further info on our Accessibility product.

Your workplace will be our headquarters in the heart of Copenhagen, and you will report to the CTO.
