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
This opportunity is for a Software Development Engineer for Audible’s Machine Learning Engineering (MLE) team to drive initiatives on the leading edge of Machine Learning (ML), Large Language Models (LLMs), personalization, and content discovery. MLE is an enabling team that works alongside our applied science teams to train, productionize, monitor and deploy machine learning models on a massive, worldwide scale. These models help Audible customers find their next listen, and are central to everything from the recommendations listeners see to the structure and content of their home screen.

MLE’s platforms run the gamut from data pipelines that serve tens of thousands of requests for real-time, low-latency data per second to internal tools that leverage LLMs for process automation and productivity. As a member of the MLE team, you’ll be working on infrastructure that is core to the listener experience, and helping to shape how Audible and Amazon build, monitor and deploy LLMs for production use-cases. Our engineers use a mix of software engineering and machine learning skills to build massively scalable, high-availability systems that allow our internal partners and customers to experiment more quickly, retrain and refresh recommender models, and respond to changing patterns of user behavior.

Achieving this vision means continuously innovating, enhancing the tools and strengthening our development process, how we work and leveraging new technologies to deliver services. We need your help to develop and deliver on this global vision.
