INTRODUCTION
DOM–DoIT requires a dedicated UI/UX Designer & Requirements Specialist to design front-end screens (wireframes, mockups, interaction flows), document detailed functional and design requirements, and support analysis and testing activities for the Angular AppDev team. This is a hybrid role that blends UX design, business analysis, requirements writing, and QA support — not a traditional design-only position. A specialized contractor is necessary to ensure high-quality, development-ready requirements and properly scoped tickets. The role is critical for producing accurate, accessibility-compliant, developer-ready stories that prevent oversized tickets, improve workflow clarity, and reduce downstream defects.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design screens including wireframes, mockups, and interaction patterns for front-end applications.
- Conduct gap analysis between current and desired workflows and document risks.
- Write detailed, well-scoped tickets and user stories in Azure DevOps (ADO) and GitHub.
- Break large feature requests into realistic, properly sized development units.
- Develop personas and convert user needs into actionable design and functional requirements.
- Tag, organize, and refine tickets for clean hand-off to Angular developers.
- Define clear front-end requirements that bridge design, requirements writing, and development needs.
- Support testing activities, including accessibility testing using automated tools, screen readers, and manual keyboard/tabbing tests.
- Potentially contribute to front-end coding or testing, depending on skillset.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Proven experience in UI/UX screen design (wireframes, mockups, interaction design).
- Strong experience writing detailed requirements, user stories, and well-formed tickets.
- Significant hands-on experience with Azure DevOps (ADO) and GitHub for ticket/story workflows.
- Ability to conduct gap analysis, identify risks, and translate findings into actionable requirements.
- Certified accessibility professional (CPACC, WAS, or equivalent).
- Deep understanding of WCAG 2.2 AA, Section 508, and Title I/Title II compliance — with the ability to apply and test against these standards directly.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Working understanding of Angular and general front-end development concepts.
- Experience working in Agile delivery environments.
- Understanding of CI/CD processes and how front-end work moves through pipelines.
- Experience contributing to front-end coding or testing tasks.
- Experience developing personas based on user research.
SKILL SET
Business Analysis, Requirements Gathering, Requirements Elicitation, Gap Analysis, Stakeholder Communication, Process Mapping, Documentation, Technical Writing, Figma, UX Design, Wireframing, Interaction Design, USWDS, Design Systems, WCAG 2.2 AA, Section 508, Title I/II, Accessibility Testing (automated tools, screen readers, keyboard navigation), QA/Testing Support, Test Plans, Azure DevOps, GitHub, User Story Writing, Ticket Scoping, Persona Development, SDLC, Agile, Angular (working knowledge), CI/CD, Front-end coding (optional).
TECHNICAL TOOLS & METHODS EXPERIENCE
- Design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, etc.)
- Accessibility tools (Axe, Wave, Lighthouse)
- Screen readers used (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver)
- Ticketing tools (ADO, GitHub)
- Methods for story scoping, sizing, and refinement
- Gap analysis methodologies used
- Examples of producing developer-ready requirements
- Experience with front-end workflow understanding (Angular, component-based development)

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in accessibility tester jobs.
- Hands-on experience testing with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, or other screen readers
- Working knowledge of WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 success criteria at levels A, AA, and AAA
- Proficiency with automated accessibility scanning tools such as Axe or Deque
- Familiarity with Section 508 compliance requirements for federal or government contractors
- CPACC or WAS certification from the International Association of Accessibility Professionals
- Experience writing detailed accessibility defect reports tied to specific WCAG criteria
Tips for Your Accessibility Tester Job Search
Tailor your resume to WCAG version
Many job postings specify WCAG 2.1 or 2.2, so call out exactly which version you've tested against and which success criteria you've documented findings for. Generic mentions of accessibility experience won't distinguish you from other applicants.
Certify before competitive roles close
A CPACC or WAS credential from IAAP signals you understand accessibility law and testing methodology beyond tool use. Government and enterprise postings often list one of these as a preferred requirement, so having it moves your application past an initial screen.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists accessibility tester openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Show real assistive technology fluency
List the specific screen readers and magnification tools you've used, such as NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and ZoomText, and note the platforms each covers. Testers who can only run automated scans are easier to find than those who test manually with real assistive technology.
Prepare a defect documentation sample
Bring one or two sanitized bug reports from previous work to your interview. Hiring managers want to see how you reproduce an issue, reference the WCAG criterion it violates, and communicate severity to developers who may not have an accessibility background.
Ask about remediation workflow in interviews
Find out whether the team fixes accessibility defects in the same sprint they're found or queues them separately. That answer reveals how seriously the organization treats compliance and directly affects whether the role will challenge you or become a backlog-management exercise.
Accessibility Tester Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most accessibility testers?
Apple, Amazon, and National Seating & Mobility are hiring the most accessibility testers right now, with openings concentrated in California, Pennsylvania, and Washington, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially strong at large technology firms, federal contractors, and healthcare systems with patient-facing digital products.
How many accessibility tester jobs are remote?
About 60% of accessibility tester openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how much of the work relies on digital tools rather than a physical lab. Roles focused on document and web testing tend to be the most remote, while positions that require testing physical kiosks or hardware often require on-site presence.
How do you become an accessibility tester?
Start by learning WCAG guidelines and practicing manual testing with free screen readers like NVDA and VoiceOver on live websites. Build a portfolio of annotated defect reports that cite specific success criteria. Then pursue a CPACC certification from IAAP to validate your knowledge. Entry roles in QA with an accessibility focus or in-house digital compliance teams are common first positions.
Can you get hired as an accessibility tester with little experience?
Yes, entry-level accessibility tester roles exist, particularly in QA teams at mid-size technology companies and government contractors required to meet Section 508 standards. Build credibility by auditing publicly available websites, documenting findings the way a professional report would, and earning the CPACC credential. That combination shows practical skill even without formal job history in the field.
What does the accessibility tester interview process look like?
Most processes include an initial screening call, a technical interview where you walk through how you identify and document an accessibility defect, and a practical exercise where you audit a sample interface live or take home. Some employers also test your ability to explain a WCAG violation to a non-technical stakeholder, since communication with developers and product managers is a core part of the role.
Where can I find and apply to accessibility tester jobs?
You can find and apply to accessibility tester jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to each listing that fits. No intermediary step is required between finding a role and submitting your application.
