As a Senior Frontend Engineer on the Design Systems & Accessibility (DSA) team, you won’t just be building features; you’ll be building the foundation that powers every feature at AuditBoard. You’ll be a core contributor to Luna, our internal design system, and our accessibility program.

This role is about more than just maintaining a library—it’s about impact at scale. You will act as a technical evangelist for Luna, helping product teams adopt system-level patterns while simultaneously driving the expansion and refinement of the system itself. This means you’ll be deep in the codebase refining existing components for better performance, architecting entirely new ones to meet evolving product needs, and ensuring our system maintains consistency as it scales.

In addition to your work on Luna, you will play a vital role in shaping our department-wide accessibility strategy. We are moving beyond baseline compliance to innovate how AuditBoard approaches inclusive design and engineering. You will help refine and expand our A11Y program, implementing high-impact remediations across the platform and establishing the best practices that will guide our entire engineering organization in 2026 and beyond.

The Design Systems & Accessibility (DSA) team is a small and mighty group of three engineers. We are a high-seniority team (comprised of Senior I+ engineers), meaning we move fast, value technical autonomy, and engage in high-level architectural collaboration.

We work in lock-step with embedded designers and a dedicated Product Manager at the intersection of product-thinking and platform engineering. Our mission is two-fold: we must deeply understand our end-user's needs while simultaneously serving our internal customers, the Product Engineering (PED) teams, by providing the tools, patterns, and accessibility standards they need to succeed at scale.

• Expand and maintain the Luna design system, focusing on high-quality, reusable component architecture.

• Write clear and well-defined platform documentation to empower self-service support and technical clarity for other engineers.

• Consult and advise internal product teams on Luna adoption and accessibility best practices.

• Drive the department-wide A11Y program by refining accessibility standards and implementing high-impact remediations.

• Collaborate cross-functionally in unfamiliar areas of ownership, partnering with engineers, designers, and PMs across the organization. This requires deeply understanding their specific use cases and navigating time pressure and technical frustration with empathy.

• Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve complex software bugs, reaching into deep or unfamiliar product areas to diagnose platform-level hurdles.

• Leverage AI-driven tools and workflows to efficiently drive higher-quality outcomes.

• 5+ years of experience developing web-based applications

• Enterprise-Scale Platform Experience: Proven track record working within large, complex codebases. You understand the discipline required to maintain stability in a massive system and aren't easily overwhelmed by architectural density.

• A11Y Proficiency: Strong working knowledge of WCAG 2.2 standards. You can identify accessibility gaps and implement compliant solutions for keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and color contrast.

• Modern JavaScript Framework Proficiency: Deep experience with a modern JS framework (Ember is our bread and butter, but we value expertise in React, Angular, or Vue as well).

• CSS Mastery: Ability to solve complex UI challenges using modern CSS best practices and accessible patterns.

• Proficiency with TypeScript & Node.js: Experience building and consuming REST/JSON APIs in Node.js and TS.

• Testing: Experience writing maintainable software tests (Unit, Integration, and E2E) to ensure platform-level changes don't break product features.

• AI-Augmented Development: Proficiency with AI coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude, Gemini) to enhance development and documentation writing.

• Collaboration Initiative: You aren’t shy about reaching out to engineers or designers you don’t work with daily. You proactively drive conversations to gather context or resolve blockers.

• System-Minded Problem Solving: You naturally think in terms of reusable pieces and "platform-first" solutions.

• Resilient Collaboration: You can help teammates navigate technical frustrations (especially regarding compliance or system constraints) with empathy and without taking friction personally.

• Clear Documentation: A talent for translating complex technical decisions into clear, well-defined documentation (EDDs, Training, or Design System guides).

• Independence with Discernment: You are highly motivated to solve technical problems independently but have the professional maturity to know exactly when to pull in the Team Lead or stakeholders for support and alignment.

• Continuous Learning: You maintain a positive attitude toward learning and stretching your comfort zone. You run toward ambiguity rather than away from it, viewing shifting priorities or "unsolved" platform problems as opportunities to learn and add value.

While not required, experience in these areas will help you hit the ground running:

• Ember.js Experience: Since our core SPA is built on Ember, existing familiarity with its ecosystem and conventions is a significant plus.

• Specialized Certifications: An IAAP Certification (CPACC or WAS) or formal training in digital accessibility.

• Regulated Industry Experience: Experience working in compliance-driven environments (e.g., FinTech, HealthTech, or other highly regulated industries).

• Open Source Mindset: A history of contributing to open-source projects or maintaining internal libraries/tools.

• DevOps & Infrastructure: Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes to help you understand our deployment pipelines and local environment configurations.

• Database Knowledge: Experience with PostgreSQL or similar relational databases for troubleshooting data-driven platform issues.

• Educational Background: A BS in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience.

Our Company Values

• Customer obsession: Apply relentless focus on listening to and understanding customers as the core of everything we do

• Win, together: Drive to be the best while supporting each other’s success

• Gritty resilience: Thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, balancing immediate priorities with big-picture strategic goals
