- Integrate accessibility standards into design systems to ensure compliance and usability at a global scale. Additionally, you will collaborate with QA and engineering teams to implement automated accessibility testing
- Foster and maintain scalable frameworks and workflows that make accessibility inherent to our product lifecycle. Through training programs, playbooks, and reference models, you'll elevate team capabilities and establish consistent testing strategies across automated and manual scenarios
