In the Audiobooks Mission, we're looking for a Software Engineer II to be a founding member of a new full-stack squad. This squad will be a bit unique, as it will span a number of products and areas of expertise – helping us explore opportunities as they come up in the audiobooks space. There will be multiple technologies at play, and an expectation that everyone on the team supercharges their T-shaping (including the EM!).
The audiobooks industry is heating up as a result of our entry, and we want to keep up our momentum! Come join us and help do that.
