In this role, you will build and maintain Angular web applications and UI components while ensuring every interface you deliver is accessible to people with disabilities. You will implement designs from Figma, integrate Design System components, write frontend tests, and take ownership of accessibility compliance in your code, including proper ARIA attributes, semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, focus management, and color contrast.
