The company’s culture emphasizes creativity, collaboration, and a commitment to making technology accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. In India, Apple’s Hyderabad campus serves as a hub for engineering talent, driving forward web and mobile experiences that reach millions of users. The role of Web Accessibility Engineer is a specialized front‑end engineering position that blends deep technical knowledge with a passion for inclusive design. As part of Apple’s accessibility team, you will evaluate web applications against WCAG 2.x and WAI‑ARIA standards, identify barriers for users of assistive technologies, and deliver clean, maintainable code fixes. You will work closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to embed accessibility considerations early in the development lifecycle, ensuring that every feature launched by Apple is usable by people with diverse abilities. Key Responsibilities: 1. Conduct manual and automated accessibility audits of web applications using tools and screen‑readers (VoiceOver, JAWS, NVDA). 2. Document findings with clear, reproducible steps and prioritize remediation based on impact. 3. Write and review semantic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to meet WCAG 2.x success criteria. 4. Implement ARIA roles, states, and properties where native HTML cannot provide required semantics. 5. Collaborate with UI/UX designers to create accessible visual designs, focusing on color contrast, focus indicators, and keyboard navigation. 6. Provide guidance and training to development teams on accessibility best practices and testing methodologies. 7. Participate in cross‑functional design reviews to advocate for inclusive user experiences. 8. Contribute to internal accessibility guidelines, tooling, and knowledge‑base articles. 9. Stay updated with evolving standards, browser support, and emerging assistive technologies. 10. Assist in preparing accessibility compliance reports for internal and external stakeholders. Tech Stack: HTML5, CSS3 (Flexbox, Grid), modern JavaScript (ES6+), React or similar front‑end frameworks, accessibility testing tools (axe, Lighthouse), screen‑reader software (VoiceOver, JAWS, NVDA), CI/CD pipelines for automated accessibility checks. Growth Path: Starting as an entry‑level engineer, you can progress to Senior Accessibility Engineer, Accessibility Lead, or move into broader front‑end or product management roles. Apple encourages continuous learning, offering internal courses, conferences, and mentorship programs. Why Join Apple?
