Speechify is the leading text-to-speech platform, enabling users to listen to articles, documents, and books across devices. The company is experiencing exponential growth and is #1 in its category.
You'll join the Core Experiences Team, which builds and maintains the foundational services and SDKs powering Speechify's product across platforms. This is a critical role at the intersection of product and infrastructure, requiring strategic thinking and a passion for designing clear, reliable APIs and simple systems that enhance user experience.
Key responsibilities:
- Collaborate with Product Teams to scope projects, reduce scope for faster customer feedback, navigate integration/UX tradeoffs, and deliver solutions via cross-platform SDK
- Optimize existing functionality to ship faster loading and more intelligent parsing by designing efficient abstractions and improving algorithms
- Ship cloud functions, lightweight backend services, and jobs using Kotlin
Ideal candidates demonstrate systems thinking (understanding end-to-end design and valuing simplicity), speed (quickly generating ideas and deciding what ships now vs. later), focus (managing engagement in a high-growth remote startup), and collaboration (working effectively with designers, marketers, and PMs).
Preferred tech stack includes Kotlin Multiplatform (Java experience acceptable but role focuses on Kotlin Multiplatform) and prior GCP experience is a plus.
The role offers the opportunity to work on a life-changing product used by millions, directly impacting people with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism. You'll work in one of tech's fastest-growing sectors at the intersection of AI and audio, with a hands-off management approach, competitive salary, and commitment to asynchronous culture.
