This is a foundational engineering role at the heart of the platform, responsible for designing and building the systems that power large-scale accessibility audits, rule evaluation, evidence generation, and compliance reporting.
This is not a maintenance role.
Our client is looking for a senior engineer who sets a high technical bar, challenges assumptions, and helps drive best-in-class outcomes through strong engineering discipline, architectural clarity, and a focus on long-term quality.
You will play a key role in shaping core platform capabilities that operate at scale across complex digital estates.
Key Responsibilities Core Engineering Design, implement, and maintain high-performance Node.js services supporting accessibility audit engines, rule execution, and reporting pipelines.
Build scalable, testable, and observable back-end systems capable of running complex audits across large digital properties.
Own core audit logic, including rule orchestration, result normalization, evidence capture, and traceability.
Write production-grade code with a strong emphasis on correctness, performance, and maintainability.
Architecture & Quality Contribute to system architecture decisions, focusing on modularity, extensibility, and long-term sustainability.
Establish and uphold best practices around code structure, error handling, logging, and automated testing.
Proactively identify technical debt and lead efforts to reduce it in a structured, sustainable way.
Ensure defects are detected early through strong test coverage and disciplined engineering practices.
Team & Delivery Act as a senior contributor within Agile / Scrum teams, working in two-week sprint cycles.
Collaborate closely with front-end engineers, accessibility specialists, and product leadership to translate requirements into robust technical solutions.
Contribute to the continuous improvement of development processes, tooling, and infrastructure.
Serve as a technical leader within the audit engine domain, raising standards through example, mentoring, and peer review.
Required Experience 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong focus on Node.js.
Advanced Java Script expertise and deep understanding of asynchronous programming.
Proven experience building and operating production-grade APIs and services.
Strong test-driven development (TDD) discipline.
Experience working with Jira (or similar) and Git-based workflows.
Hands-on experience with AWS, including designing or operating cloud-native services.
Experience with LLM prompt engineering.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have Experience Knowledge of accessibility standards such as WCAG and ARIA, or experience with rules-based evaluation engines.
Experience with distributed systems, background processing, or job orchestration.
Familiarity with observability tooling, including logging, metrics, and tracing.
Previous work on platform-level or engine-level systems, rather than only application-layer development.
