2026-06-26 11:59 PMBehind the scenes, but ahead of the curve: help us develop the next-generation public service media organization.
Technology & Infrastructure (T&I) is the backbone and the future-forward arm of CBC/Radio-Canada. Our purpose is to constantly innovate to evolve and maintain the Corporation’s technology and infrastructure. We are the people that make stuff work. We make connections between media content, systems, people and places. We are the space in between.
A place with purpose. CBC/Radio-Canada has always been a highly regarded pioneer of media technology — not just in Canada but around the world. Today, we are transforming ourselves into a modern and agile public service media organization. Technology is the driving force, and we are the team making it happen.
This is a hybrid position with a mix of in-office and remote work. Work arrangements will be discussed with hiring managers per departmental guidelines.
Why is this role important?
As an Accessibility Front-End Developer, your primary focus will be on ensuring our internal web properties are following accessibility best practices in our department of Enterprise Application Development. You will bring expertise in accessibility standards practices such as WCAG 2.1 Level AA and CAN/ASC - EN 301 549, JavaScript knowledge and/or other programming paradigms and will consult/collaborate with other Lead Developers and our Solution Architects to support application development work across products, platforms, and teams.
You will play an important role in leading the frontend development process within a product team. This includes supporting and continuing to shape our quality management, review practices and optimizing the delivery and release pipelines that get our apps to production. You’ll be part of a team that values growth, excellence and innovation. We will bring out the explorer, challenger and trail blazer in you, but we are also grounded in sustainable, extensible and holistic approaches.
An Accessibility Front-End Developer is the bridge between the "how it looks" (Design) and the "how it works" (Engineering). From the UX perspective you will prioritize on the human interaction and the technical feasibility of the user experience with a heavy focus on accessibility. From the Front-End Developer perspective, you’ll focus on data structures and API integration with JavaScript libraries.
Here’s why we should work together:
Our application team’s values - collaboration, learning, and continuous improvement - embody who we are as a people-focused, digital-forward employer. We follow lean startup principles and use an Agile approach. Our dedicated people managers work closely with every individual to ensure we are leveraging their strengths, championing their ideas and supporting their pursuit of new skills and their desired career progression.
Here at T&I Enterprise Application Development, we want you to be happy and feel good at work. It is essential that work be a safe space where our employees can share their authentic selves with one another and to push each other to challenge conventions.
