Job Description
Role Description
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.
Key Responsibilities
- 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.
- 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.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience developing web-based applications.
- Proven track record working within large, complex codebases.
- Strong working knowledge of WCAG 2.2 standards.
- Deep experience with a modern JS framework (Ember, React, Angular, or Vue).
- Ability to solve complex UI challenges using modern CSS best practices and accessible patterns.
- Experience building and consuming REST/JSON APIs in Node.js and TypeScript.
- Experience writing maintainable software tests (Unit, Integration, and E2E).
- Proficiency with AI coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude, Gemini).
- Proactive in driving conversations to gather context or resolve blockers.
- Ability to think in terms of reusable pieces and "platform-first" solutions.
- Talent for translating complex technical decisions into clear documentation.
- Highly motivated to solve technical problems independently.
- Positive attitude toward learning and stretching your comfort zone.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Ember.js.
- An IAAP Certification (CPACC or WAS) or formal training in digital accessibility.
- Experience working in compliance-driven environments (e.g., FinTech, HealthTech).
- A history of contributing to open-source projects or maintaining internal libraries/tools.
- Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes.
- Experience with PostgreSQL or similar relational databases.
- A BS in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience.
Benefits
