Speechify is a rapidly growing platform that converts written content—articles, documents, books—into high-quality audio, enabling users to consume information while commuting, working, or learning. 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 strategic role at the intersection of product and infrastructure.
Key responsibilities:
- Partner with product teams to scope features, identify scope reductions for faster customer feedback, and navigate integration/UX tradeoffs across platforms
- Optimize existing functionality—faster loading, smarter parsing—by designing efficient abstractions and improving algorithms
- Build cloud functions, lightweight backend services, and jobs using Kotlin
- Think end-to-end about system design, prioritizing simplicity and reliability
You'll thrive if you have systems thinking (understanding that optimization requires holistic design), speed (quickly generating ideas and shipping), focus (managing async work in a remote, high-growth environment), and strong collaboration skills with designers, marketers, and PMs.
Preferred tech stack: Kotlin Multiplatform (Java experience acceptable but role is Kotlin-focused), GCP experience a plus.
The team values an entrepreneurial mindset, hands-off management, and the opportunity to impact millions of users—including people with dyslexia, ADD, low vision, autism, and other learning differences. You'll work in one of tech's fastest-growing intersections: AI and audio.
