positions [was Re: NFB/Amazon Education - Collaborative 
Session/Conference
Call]



NFB colleagues,



One of my action items coming out of our meeting earlier today 
was to share
the URL for our open accessibility positions.  Please see
https://www.amazon.jobs/en/landing_pages/accessibility-internatio
nalization
<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/WD68BWCa21esp> which is a
special "landing page" for all of our open jobs on the Devices
Accessibility and Internationalization Team, which delivers 
VoiceView on
Fire Tables and Fire TV, magnification on Fire Tablets, and our 
other
accessibility features on FireOS devices.  It also
delivers internationalization support for those products, and 
while this
page lists jobs in both areas, at the moment 6 of the 8 open 
positions are
for accessibility.



Across all of Amazon, you can find positions that mention 
"accessibility"
with the URL 
https://www.amazon.jobs/en/search?base_query=accessibility
<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/0JdxBeS5ZVRfX> That will 
include the 6
positions at the URL above, but also many in the website org., as 
well as
positions that aren't full-time dedicated to accessibility but 
for which we
would like accessibility expertise.  That search term will also 
turn up
things related to things like "Access Management", so 
candidates will need
to read through job titles & descriptions in order to ensure the 
position
is something they are interested in.  As an aside, that's how I 
found my
job - I just did a search for "accessibility" on 
jobs.amazon.com while
making a purchase, and found the Accessibility Architect role 
that I'm now
in.





As I mentioned on our call, we already employ a number of blind 
folks on
this team, both in QA as well software development.  And we'd 
love to have
more!





Regards,



Peter
