Technical Support Engineer - Accessibility

Salesforce Salesforce · Enterprise · Indianapolis, IN +2

Technical Support Engineer focused on accessibility issues within the Salesforce platform. Responsibilities include responding to customer cases, reproducing and investigating accessibility issues using assistive technologies, building demonstrations, acting as a liaison between customers and product teams, and creating knowledge base materials. Requires strong HTML, CSS, JavaScript, understanding of WCAG/ARIA, and familiarity with screen readers. Early-to-mid career role.

What you'd actually do

  1. Respond to customer accessibility cases with urgency, warmth, and technical precision — bringing both quick turnaround and genuine care to every interaction.
  2. Reproduce and investigate accessibility issues firsthand using assistive technologies (including screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver) across Salesforce's platform and ecosystem to truly understand what a customer is experiencing.
  3. Build hands-on accessibility demonstrations and working test environments within the Salesforce ecosystem to isolate, validate, and document accessibility barriers for customers and the internal product team.
  4. Lead live customer calls with confidence — at times advocating on behalf of the customer to our product team when a real defect needs to be prioritized, and at other times guiding the customer to a clear understanding of platform capabilities, standards, and roadmap realities.
  5. Serve as a technical liaison between customers and the product team, escalating validated accessibility issues with detailed reproduction steps and advocating for fixes based on real-world customer impact.
