Collaborate: Work closely with cross-functional Agile teams, actively participating in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospective meetings.

Optimize: Improve application performance for speed and scalability, keeping in mind the high-traffic nature of Smithsonian digital properties.

Minimum Qualifications

Experience: 1 to 3 years of professional experience in front-end or full-stack web development.

Content Management: Experience building and theming components for enterprise CMS environments (Drupal experience is highly preferred).

Accessibility Expert: Demonstrated experience building highly accessible websites (Section 508 / WCAG compliance) and using screen readers/testing tools.

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Prior experience working as a federal contractor or supporting cultural institutions/museums.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
