Accessibility Design Specialist

As an Accessibility Design Specialist, you help welcome everyone into our worlds – regardless of motor, cognitive, vision, hearing, or any other disability.
Committed to inclusivity, you guide us in creating games with the entire spectrum of the player base in mind. You act as an accessibility ambassador, advising production teams across the company on solutions that make our games playable by all. Because when barriers exist, you see to it that they’re broken down – especially if you’ve faced them yourself.

• Coordinate knowledge sharing by promoting best practices, developing internal training, speaking at conferences, publishing articles, etc.
• Foster relationships with the accessibility community and industry experts to keep the conversation going.

• An advocacy-oriented mindset: you’re respectful and conscious of all types of disabilities, always
• Attention to detail, particularly when it comes to design: you understand that a seemingly simple choice can make or break an experience
