The Role

We are looking for a versatile developer to lead the transition from our current web-based beta to a fully realized cross-platform mobile application. You will be responsible for the front-end user experience—ensuring it is the most accessible app on the market—and the back-end architecture that pulls from our proprietary accessibility database.

Core Responsibilities

• Mobile Transition: Architect and deploy high-performance, cross-platform mobile applications for web, iOS and Android.
• Accessible UI/UX: Implement WCAG 2.2 Level AAA standards within the app interface to ensure users with all types of disabilities can navigate the tool flawlessly.
• Offline Functionality: Build “pocket-mode” capabilities so contractors and business owners can access saved plans in areas with poor connectivity.
• Feature Development: Develop the engine for dynamic document generation and manage secure user account and profile systems.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Frontend Architecture: Expert-level proficiency in modern web and mobile application development patterns.
• Backend Systems: Deep experience in server-side logic, database management, and cloud infrastructure.
• Accessibility First: Deep understanding of ARIA standards, screen reader optimization, and high-contrast UI design.
• Database Management: Proficiency in working with complex datasets and ensuring data integrity across multiple platforms.
• Preferred Certifications (Nice to Have):
  • Cloud/Mobile Architecture: Industry-standard cloud developer or mobile platform professional certifications.
  • Web Accessibility: IAAP WAS (Web Accessibility Specialist) certification.
  • Ongoing continuing education in emerging technologies such as AR/VR and cross-platform synchronization.

Shared Values for All Roles

• Inclusion Mindset: A deep-seated belief that accessibility is a human right.
• Problem Solvers: The ability to find creative solutions for “impossible” compliance overlaps.
• Collaborative: Comfortable working closely with a small, agile founding team and external consultants.
• Outcome-Oriented Flexibility: We operate as a fully remote team with flexible schedules. We don’t track hours worked; instead, we focus on high-quality outcomes, hitting project milestones, and meeting established timelines. We trust our team to manage their own time to deliver the best results.
