ABOUT THIS ROLE
As a Software Development Engineer, it’s up to you to 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.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Audible's Catalog Management Systems (CMS) team owns the source for all Audible product catalog data. We build the systems that ingest content from publishers, augment and validate it, and publish it to the storefronts and partners where customers discover and access it. Our work spans the full catalog lifecycle, from ONIX and other provider feeds through ingestion and metadata services to pricing, availability, and publishing. A few beliefs guide how we work. Content is Audible's lifeblood, so we keep it flowing smoothly and rapidly, letting customers find and access what they want when they want it. We automate internal processes wherever we can, and involve people when their judgment is needed. We treat content providers as our customers, advocating for them and building tools that improve their experience. And we hold our systems to a clear standard: transparent, easy to learn and use, flexible as business needs change, and scalable as Audible grows. Organized into groups covering ingestion, publishing, operator tooling, and post-publish refinement, we partner closely with product and downstream teams across Audible to support new products and market expansion.

Our team is working on building native iOS products, without compromising compatibility with various iOS devices in an agile environment. Your primary focus is iOS, and we like for engineers to grow into full-stack work over time. Backend experience isn’t required—just a willingness to learn and contribute across the stack.
