Senior Accessibility Engineer (Front-End)

? Barcelona, hybrid | English C1

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Accessibility Engineer to join a integral technology company in the HR and payroll sector, based in Barcelona. You will focus on their design system. You’ll work closely with engineering, design, UX, product and accessibility teams to make sure web and mobile products are accessible to everyone.

Accessibility is the core of this role. You will be the person who knows how to fix it at component level, test it thoroughly, explain it and document it, for engineering and product teams as well as for AI-driven experiences.

What you’ll do
- Fix complex accessibility issues at component level within the design system, finding the root cause and not just the symptom
- Design and build accessible, reusable and scalable patterns: semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard interaction and focus management in complex components
- Test web and mobile applications against WCAG 2.2 AA and EN 301 549,



combining manual testing with automated tools (axe DevTools suite and browser developer tools)
- Run thorough manual testing with assistive technologies: screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack), keyboard-only navigation, screen magnification, high contrast and forced colors
- Validate issues on your own, spot false positives and false negatives, and prioritise them with a risk assessment and a reason for each severity level
- Give developers clear, actionable guidance on fixes and run code reviews focused on accessibility
- Build repeatable test procedures and work with the accessibility team to improve the testing frameworks
- Work with design and UX on the design-to-code workflow, so components are accessible from the start
- Write documentation in English: accessibility specs for each component, expected behaviour for each interaction pattern, reports and guidelines, including structured documentation that AI tools can use
- Explain findings to technical and non-tech
