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.
Every great audiobook starts with a voice, and behind every voice is an author, a narrator, and a publisher who deserve to be paid accurately and on time. At Audible, that story comes to life on our Workday platform, where payments are just one part of a much bigger picture. Employees submit expenses, supplier invoices flow through Accounts Payable, customer billing moves through Accounts Receivable, projects are tracked from kickoff to close, and assets are managed across their lifecycle, each transaction a page in the story that has to be right.
As a System Development Engineer on Audible's Workday team, you will help write the next chapter: building world-class Workday integrations, including real-time, event-driven integrations that keep finance data flowing the moment it changes. You will craft Workday Orchestrations, Extend applications, and Prism Analytics, shape business processes across Revenue and Resource Management, and connect Expenses, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Projects, and Assets, helping Finance close the books with confidence. Join us and help build the platform that makes sure every storyteller gets paid.
