Java web developer Jobs in North York, ON

Role: Web Accessibility Developer

Experience: 7+ Years

Job Type: Contract- Longterm

Location: Toronto, Ontario

Work Setting: Hybrid (3days a week onsite)

Job Description

What will you do?

• Design and build performant, modular, reusable front-end components as EDS blocks and plugins using vanilla JavaScript, modern CSS, and semantic HTML — without reaching for heavyweight frameworks.
• Champion performance as a feature: optimize for Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse scores, minimize payloads and render-blocking resources, and apply edge-delivery and caching patterns to keep experiences fast at scale.
• Apply established design patterns and sound engineering principles to keep the codebase clean, maintainable, well-documented, and easy for other developers to extend.
• Translate creative designs and prototypes (e.g., Figma) into accessible, responsive, pixel-accurate interfaces, and provide constructive technical feedback to designers early in the design process.
• Build and evolve a shared component/block library and authoring model that makes it simple and safe for content authors to assemble high-quality pages.
• Collaborate within an agile squad — assessing requirements, estimating, and delivering iteratively alongside designers, content strategists, BSAs, QA, and platform engineers.
• Ensure every experience meets accessibility (WCAG / AODA), responsive design, cross-browser, and bilingual (EN/FR) requirements.
• Contribute to code reviews, front-end standards, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines; mentor developers and help raise the front-end engineering bar across the team.
• Partner with platform and back-end engineers on the integration between EDS, the content management layer, and downstream services and APIs.

What do you need to succeed?
Must-have

• Deep, hands-on expertise in vanilla JavaScript (ES6+), CSS, and HTML, with a demonstrated ability to build complex, interactive experiences without relying on heavy frameworks.
• A proven track record of writing efficient, lightweight, modular, and performant front-end code, with a strong understanding of the browser rendering pipeline, Core Web Vitals, and front-end performance optimization.
• Solid command of software design patterns and front-end architecture, and the judgment to apply them appropriately.
• Working experience building and maintaining websites on a CMS platform (e.g., Adobe Experience Manager, or comparable enterprise CMS / DXP).
• Strong eye for UI design and implementation: the ability to turn creative designs into accessible, responsive, pixel-accurate interfaces and to give meaningful feedback on those designs.
• Experience with modern build tooling, Git-based workflows, and CI/CD.
• Understanding of web accessibility standards (WCAG) and responsive, cross-device design.

Nice-to-have

• Direct experience with Adobe Experience Manager Edge Delivery Services (EDS) — blocks, plugins, document-based authoring, and the Universal Editor.
• Familiarity with edge / CDN delivery patterns, caching strategies, and performance budgeting.
• Experience with AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) and headless/headful content delivery.
• Experience integrating analytics / data layer (e.g., Adobe Client Data Layer) and tag management.
• Experience in regulated industries (financial services) and with bilingual (EN/FR) digital experiences.
• Experience mentoring developers or setting front-end engineering standards on a team

Work Authorization

• Must be authorized to work in Canada.
