Key responsibilities include driving accessibility efforts by integrating Microsoft UI Automation and other Windows accessibility frameworks, ensuring proper keyboard navigation, screen-reader support, and usability for users with disabilities. You'll collaborate with product designers, UX researchers, QA, and other stakeholders to shape feature planning and the long-term Windows platform roadmap.
