Speechify is a fast-growing AI-powered platform that converts written content (articles, documents, books) into high-quality audio, making information accessible and consumable on-the-go. The company is #1 in its category and experiencing exponential growth.
You'll join the Core Experiences Team, which owns the foundational services, SDKs, and APIs that power Speechify's product across all platforms (web, mobile, desktop). This is a critical technical role at the intersection of product and infrastructure.
Key responsibilities:
- Collaborate with product teams to scope features, manage integration/UX tradeoffs, and deliver solutions via cross-platform SDKs
- Optimize existing functionality—faster loading, intelligent parsing, better algorithms, cleaner abstractions
- Ship cloud functions, lightweight backend services, and jobs using Kotlin
- Think end-to-end about system design; prioritize simplicity and reliability
- Work quickly to generate options, decide what ships now vs. later, and balance depth with speed
Ideal candidate traits:
- Systems thinking: you understand that optimization requires end-to-end design
- Speed: you generate ideas quickly and know how to scope ruthlessly
- Focus: you thrive in a high-growth, async, remote-first environment
- Collaboration: you work well with opinionated designers, marketers, and PMs
- Technical: Kotlin Multiplatform expertise (Java experience acceptable but role is Kotlin-focused); GCP experience is a plus
The company emphasizes a hands-off management style, entrepreneurial culture, and commitment to building accessible products for people with learning differences (dyslexia, ADD, low vision, autism, etc.). You'll work on a product used by millions and help shape the intersection of AI and audio.
