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 THE ROLE
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.

ABOUT THE TEAM
The Workday team is part of Audible's FinTech organization. We own Audible's Workday Finance platform: integrations, configuration and operational excellence for Expenses, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Projects, Assets, revenue management, vendor payments and integrations with Internal financial systems.
Our tenets: Financial Data Integrity (every transaction accurate, reconciled and audit-ready), Seamless Vendor Payments (optimize every step of accounts payable), Keep Vendor Experience in Mind, and Build for the Long Term.

As a System Development Engineer, you will...
- Build real-time and batch Workday integrations, including event-driven and API-based flows
- Design, build and maintain Workday integrations using EIB, Workday Studio, Core Connectors and Workday Web Services (SOAP/REST)
- Build Workday Orchestrations, Workday Extend applications and Prism Analytics data sets and reports to automate finance processes and deliver insights
- Configure and support Workday Financials: business processes, security groups, calculated fields, custom reports and reports-as-a-service
- Own Workday Revenue and Resource Management flows across Expenses, Accounts Payable (supplier invoices, supplier payments, credit notes, settlement runs, remittances), Accounts Receivable, Projects, Assets and revenue
- Support the financial close process with accurate, timely data, reconciliations and reporting
- Support vendor payments (ACH, wire, FX) and keep vendor tax and banking data in sync between Workday and connected systems
- Plan and test Workday's semi-annual feature releases and tenant changes, and manage changes safely from sandbox to production
- Own operational excellence for the Workday tenant: integration monitoring, runbooks, on-call support and root-cause fixes so issues do not recur
- Ensure every transaction is reconciled, traceable and compliant with financial controls and audit requirements
- Partner with Finance, Accounting and HR stakeholders to gather requirements and deliver solutions end to end
- Use AI-assisted tools to speed up integration development, testing and operations
