Senior Android Engineer

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.

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 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.

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 Java. But you're adaptable, enterprising, and ready to take ownership of your next project.
