• Ability to work independently and manage testing activities with minimal supervision

Nice to Have

• Experience with Medicaid in Education, including knowledge of Individualized Education Programs (IEP) or school-based Medicaid billing workflows
• Hands-on experience with Accessibility (a11y) testing
• Knowledge of WCAG 2.x and Section 508 compliance requirements
• Experience using accessibility testing tools such as axe-core
