“It feels less like work and more like fun,” says Justin Cockburn about his role as a software development engineer at Audible. He points out that there’s a lot more creativity involved in coding and programming than people might think—also something of an adrenaline rush. “You break down the problem, there’s a period of uncertainty, and then a boost that comes from solving it.”

Lisa Del Monte
Sr. Manager, UX Design
Lisa Del Monte is embedded in the design systems team, ensuring that from the start, Audible’s products and features employ best practices for the most inclusive experience. “UX happens very early in the project lifecycle, so if we get that right it sets us up for success.” This approach benefits all users because their team is also solving for issues most people will face, like making it easier to see the screen when standing in bright sunshine. "If you design for edge cases like motor and visual impairment, you’re creating a better product for everyone else."
