This is an opportunity to define accessibility for a new generation of products spanning web, mobile, desktop, voice, AI, and hardware. You’ll help teams consider the many ways people perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with technology, going beyond minimum compliance to create experiences that are genuinely useful and inclusive.

Working across design, engineering, research, product, go-to-market, and legal, you’ll make accessibility an expected part of product quality—not a final review or the responsibility of a single expert.

This role is based in our San Francisco HQ. We offer relocation assistance to new employees.

Design and ship product experiences while identifying systemic barriers across complete customer journeys.

Define OpenAI’s accessibility strategy, roadmap, governance, priorities, and measures of progress.

Build accessibility into our design system through inclusive components, tokens, interaction patterns, Figma libraries, documentation, and engineering guardrails.

Center disabled people through participatory research, usability studies, and assistive-technology testing rather than relying solely on assumptions, simulations, or automated tools.

Design for permanent, temporary, and situational disabilities, including multiple ways to perceive information, navigate interfaces, understand content, and complete important tasks.

Establish practical standards for screen readers, keyboard navigation, focus, reading order, contrast, typography, motion, captions, forms, errors, and multimodal interactions.

Lead accessibility audits, remediation priorities, launch readiness, and continuous validation across platforms.

Partner with go-to-market, legal, compliance, and product teams on enterprise readiness, accessibility documentation, procurement needs, and customer commitments.

Grow company-wide capability through training, critiques, engineering partnerships, and a network of accessibility champions.
