Description

　　Good storytelling starts with great listening. At Audible, that means each role and every project has our audience in mind. Because the same people who design, develop, and deploy our products also happen to use them. To us, that speaks volumes.

　　ABOUT THIS ROLE

　　Android Software Development Engineers build user interfaces for listeners, expand and improve deployment, test, test and test again… and work with new technologies powered by our parent company, Amazon. We’re in it for the long run – invested in the continued success of our much-loved project and we’re inspired by each other to continue building its strong foundation.

　　ABOUT THE TEAM

　　The Player team is responsible for building an audio listening platform that will improve how millions of Audible members hear and interact with our content. We own the end-to-end audio listening experience which includes player clients for web, iOS & Android, content security & digital rights management, content delivery infrastructure, and processing / synchronization of listening data across devices at a massive scale. Audible customers spend most of their time with Audible in Player components of Audible apps across FireOS, Android, iOS, and Web.

　　ABOUT YOU

　　You’re a problem solver and life is your hackathon. A fast-paced environment fuels your creativity – not to mention your team who inspire you. You’re always happy to press pause, take off your headphones and connect with a colleague. Through plenty of practice you’ve mastered how to translate even the most complex ideas in a simple and digestible way. While you’ve dabbled in a few programming languages, your heart is always with Kotlin or Java. But you’re adaptable, enterprising, and ready to take ownership of your next project.

　　As a Software Development Engineer, you will…

　　Own key components within our platform. "Owning" means envisioning, designing, creating, building, and supporting

　　Lead the way - "Lead" means staying up to date with tools, trends, technologies, and frameworks both industry-wide and within Amazon, and sharing that knowledge in a meaningful way with the community

　　Partner with product management to imagine, design, develop, test, and launch software that invigorates our community and inspires our peers

　　Manage individual project priorities, deadlines and deliverables

　　Adopt best practices in software engineering: design, testing, version control, documentation, build, deployment, and operations
