About The Role

The State of Connecticut (CT) is seeking a Digital Accessibility Web Developer with deep experience in remediating accessibility issues across a wide range of platforms and technologies. You will partner closely with our accessibility testers and analysts to turn accessibility audit findings into fully remediated digital experiences that meet or exceed compliance standards.

The ideal candidate will have expert-level experience remediating accessibility barriers in CMS systems such as Sitecore, Salesforce, and custom web applications (HTML/ARIA/CSS/JavaScript), as well as working knowledge of AWS services, Biznet platforms, and enterprise databases.

You will be hands-on in HTML and accessibility markup remediation, working primarily within the State s CMS platforms and custom HTML environments. You'll partner with digital accessibility testers to review audit findings and make front end code corrections to ensure WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.

You ll work across multiple agency systems - including websites, portals, forms, applications, and content databases - to implement accessible design, correct violations, and ensure usability for all. You will also serve as an expert resource for teams with questions about applying WCAG 2.1 AA in a technical context.

This is a remediation-heavy role. The majority of your work will involve directly correcting HTML code, markup, or CSS. You will work iteratively with cross-functional teams in agile sprints and respond quickly to prioritized accessibility tickets.

Remediation Focus Areas

• Apply accessibility fixes to front-end code and markup issues identified through audits (i.e. color corrections, alt text, heading structure, keyboard navigation, link roles, ARIA roles)
• Modify and restructure HTML, CSS, and ARIA to comply with WCAG 2.1 AA standards
• Work within CMS platforms like Sitecore, Salesforce, and WordPress to correct issues in templates, content types, and presentation layers
• Support content and design teams with accessibility guidance for remediating documents, forms, and embedded media
• Use defect tracking tools (JIRA) to manage tickets and document fixes
• Collaborate with accessibility testers and content strategists to validate remediated work and prevent recurrence of issues
• Share knowledge and remediation patterns with other developers to promote consistency and sustainability
