ABOUT THE TEAM Audible's Catalog Management Systems (CMS) team owns the source for all Audible product catalog data. We build the systems that ingest content from publishers, augment and validate it, and publish it to the storefronts and partners where customers discover and access it. Our work spans the full catalog lifecycle, from ONIX and other provider feeds through ingestion and metadata services to pricing, availability, and publishing. A few beliefs guide how we work. Content is Audible's lifeblood, so we keep it flowing smoothly and rapidly, letting customers find and access what they want when they want it. We automate internal processes wherever we can, and involve people when their judgment is needed. We treat content providers as our customers, advocating for them and building tools that improve their experience. And we hold our systems to a clear standard: transparent, easy to learn and use, flexible as business needs change, and scalable as Audible grows. Organized into groups covering ingestion, publishing, operator tooling, and post-publish refinement, we partner closely with product and downstream teams across Audible to support new products and market expansion.
