Description
At Instructure we build Canvas and a portfolio of other educational products to help teachers and students learn together. We intend to support education for everyone, regardless of their individual abilities, wherever and however they learn best.

It is therefore critical to us that we develop our software to meet and exceed the accessibility needs of our users and all relevant accessibility standards. We’re hiring an Accessibility QA Engineer to join our a11y team to not only help us catch any accessibility issues that slip past our very a11y-conscious engineering teams, but also to help prevent accessibility problems before they occur by coaching our Design, Product Management, and Engineering teams.

What you’ll do

  • Coach and influence our R&D teams on accessible design, development, and testing best practices
  • Provide designers with accessibility advice and best practices during design reviews
  • Test new features before they release as part of our final accessibility audit; all our teams do their own testing first, you’re there as the final line of defense for our customers
  • Investigate new accessibility technologies and standards, audit existing products for compliance, and help build remediation plans
  • Coordinate with external auditors and vendors to complete third-party accessibility audits
  • Present accessibility demonstrations to customers and other departments internally
  • Conduct new-hire accessibility training for software engineers and other R&D personnel
  • Update and maintain product VPATs

What you’ll need

  • At least one year of experience specifically testing or auditing web products for accessibility, including at least one screen reader (JAWS, NVDA, and/or VoiceOver)
  • A working knowledge of WCAG 2.1 criteria, and familiarity with how it is incorporated into accessibility expectations and legislation globally
  • Demonstrated ability to research deep and challenging topics, such as how specific technologies or product features interact with WCAG
  • Demonstrated ability to handle and influence through ambiguity, such as when engaging with a brand new team that doesn’t yet understand accessibility well
  • Ability to work hours that overlap US - Pacific timezone (approximately 8 am - 10am Pacific) as needed
  • Ability to frequently determine why an accessibility issue might be occurring and make suggestions on how to fix it, not just report the issue

What will get you extra bonus points

  • Experience manually testing web software functionality, not just accessibility
  • Experience automating for accessibility
  • Experience with fixing accessibility problems in code (fixing bugs, front-end development, etc.)
  • Accessibility certification (such as Trusted Tester, IAAP WAS, etc.)

Get in on all the awesome of Instructure

  • A fun, friendly, and helpful company culture
  • Competitive compensation
  • Private Medicover healthcare + cafeteria plan/SZEP card
  • Wellness motivation through PandaFit
  • An extra week off for the whole company every year
  • Employee recognition program through Motivosity
  • Goal-setting, proactive reviews, and internal training
  • Employee assistance program

We’ve always believed in hiring the most awesome people and treating them right. We know that the more diverse we are, the more diverse our ideas will be and when we openly welcome those ideas, our environment is better and our business is stronger.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
