The projects will begin R&D and experimental in nature, some will launch, and some will fail - successful projects will reach an audience of millions creating disruptive value for existing and new audiences. Above all, each project will strengthen our learning and grow our innovative passion.
True to Audible's People Principles, we are committed to the success of our people and supporting the communities in which we work.

We build innovative tools that let these creators focus on creation while we help to bring their art to millions of consumers by building tools that are valuable, easy to use, and most importantly ensure their success with customers. By focusing on our creators, we also create value to Audible's global consumers - helping them to discover new content, talent and stories they love and share.

If you're looking to build on your skills and grow into a leader, this is your next step. We look for people who take responsibility, set their standards high and see every failure as an opportunity to learn. You're looking for an environment where you can thrive.
