Senior Front-End Software Engineer
Technology | Job ID 2492040Job Summary
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
This opportunity is for a Senior Front-End Engineer for Audible’s Creator Products group. We are the team that creates tools and services for authors and publishers to produce audiobooks at scale. The team is comprised of engineers who work in an agile environment and partner closely with other Kindle, Alexa and Audible teams.
We are embarking on a mission to reshape the fundamental experiences and delight our customers and drive a strong engineering culture. It's our responsibility to push Audible into new places; wherever our customers are listening. Achieving this vision means expanding and strengthening our development process and leveraging new technologies to deliver services and web applications.
ABOUT THE TEAM
This opportunity is to work as a Senior Front-End Engineer within Audible's engineering team. The team is building customer facing UI and design system for creators and publishers. We need your help to develop and deliver on this vision. Success means we lay the foundation for continued expansion of our company without disrupting an already tremendously successful and much-loved project.
As a Senior Front-End Software Engineer, you will...
- Design and implement products that scale to meet demand
- Translate functional and technical requirements into detailed architecture/design/working software solutions by working with PM, UX designers, and customers
- Own and drive the overall front-end architecture and technical strategy within our platform: Envisioning, designing, creating, and supporting our solutions that operate with a high degree of operational excellence
- Partner with a cross-functional team to imagine, design, develop, test, and launch software that wows our community and inspires our peers
- Draw inspiration from the tools, trends, technologies and frameworks both industry-wide and within Amazon and apply these in a meaningful way within our software
- Collaborate to deliver the best technology solution, responsible for front-end system design and support and mentoring of our developers
- Be willing to explore business needs and learn un-prompted. Bring problems AND solutions to the table
- Constantly strive to raise the bar on engineering excellence
- Lead the way - staying up to date with tools, trends, technologies and frameworks both industry-wide and within Amazon and then sharing that knowledge in a meaningful way with the community
ABOUT AUDIBLE
At Audible, we innovate and inspire through the power of voice. We're changing the narrative on storytelling. As a leading creator and provider of premium audio storytelling, we've redefined the ways people access, discover, and share stories. The stories we tell have the ability to transport and transform everyday moments into meaningful experiences and it's our people who make Audible's service possible. We're listeners, storytellers, and problem-solvers. Our perspectives and experiences power our ideas and come together in our mission to unleash the power of the spoken word. Audible offers a Hub+Home hybrid workplace model that gives employees flexibility between gathering in an Audible workspace (work from hub) and remote work (work from home).
