Shout-out: Benetech looking to hire accessibility experts

It should come as no surprise that an outfit like Benetech would be open to hiring folks with disabilities. Not only is their tagline "technology serving humanity", but their president Jim Fruchterman got his start in non-profit work making making reading/scanning systems for the blind (now the successful product line "OpenBook" at Freedom Scientific). It should also come as no surprise that with Benetech's ongoing success, they are expanding and looking to hire folks.

So at the request of a couple of friends I have at Benetech, I wanted to give a shout-out to Benetech's Employment Opportunities page, as they are expressly looking to hire folks with disabilities & accessibility experience into their company. I understand they are especially keen to have this background/experience in folks filling their engineering openings. Also, Benetech is open to folks working remotely.

So, if you are looking to user your accessibility experience & expertise at a great company in the Silicon Valley, you might want to check out Benetech's openings. (2008-02-24 11:57:38.0) Permalink
