About This Role

As a Software Development Engineer, it’s up to you to research, define, design and refine the tech that keeps us one step ahead of listeners. Anticipate. Innovate. Bring challenging ideas and we’ll support you with the latest tech, tools and systems that you need to succeed. You’ll be essential in ensuring the team can reach their potential; working closely with them, reviewing their work, mentoring, and supporting them to develop.

Together, you’ll build and maintain our platform to bring thousands of stories to millions of listeners and unleash the power of the human voice.

You feel pride in every step forward, however big or small. We look for individuals who take ownership of their work, show initiative, and set high standards. Setting high standards means consistently striving for excellence, pushing the boundaries of what is possible, and delivering exceptional results. At Audible, we believe that every failure is an opportunity to learn and grow. We foster an environment that encourages individuals to embrace failure as a natural part of the learning process.

We see it as an opportunity to analyze, adapt, and improve, ultimately driving innovation and personal development.
