Job description

Senior Software Development Engineer, Audible Fintech

At Audible, we believe stories have the power to transform lives. It’s why we work with some of the world’s leading creators to produce and share audio storytelling with our millions of global listeners. We are dreamers and inventors who come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to empower and inspire each other. Imagine your future with us.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

As a Senior 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 drive the team forward, guiding them over every obstacle and leading the way to develop exciting, original and effective solutions. Leading the way, you’ll bring our team together to 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

The Audible Fintech (PaymenTech) team owns the systems that power royalty payments, recoupable advances, and financial reporting across all of Audible's marketplaces. We build and operate the full payment pipeline — from ingesting royalty transactions, to orchestrating disbursements, to creating vendor invoices and payments in Workday — giving us end-to-end accountability for every dollar Audible pays its content partners. We are migrating Audible's financial systems onto Amazon's Digital Acceleration (DA) platform, unifying contract management, royalty payments, advances, and reporting into a single, scalable, and auditable ecosystem. We are building next-generation, no-touch payment and accounting systems with compliance and auditability built in by default, so Audible's finance teams can focus on driving the business forward rather than managing operational friction.

ABOUT YOU

You’re in your element when you’re being challenged, and you’re always eager to share your ideas, take on responsibility and keep developing at an exciting pace. We look for people who show initiative, set their standards high and see every failure as an opportunity to learn. You’re looking for an environment where you can thrive and help your team reach their potential. With opportunities to challenge yourself and lead a talented team to success, you’ll find what you’re looking for at Audible.
