Speechify is a fast-growing audio information platform that converts articles, documents, and books into listenable content. The company is #1 in its category and experiencing exponential growth. You'll join the Core Experiences Team, which builds and maintains the foundational services and SDKs powering Speechify's product across platforms.
In this role, you'll work at the intersection of product and infrastructure, collaborating closely with product teams to scope projects, identify scope reductions for faster customer feedback, and navigate integration/UX tradeoffs across different platforms. You'll optimize existing functionality—shipping faster loading times and more intelligent parsing through efficient abstractions and algorithm improvements. You'll also ship cloud functions, lightweight backend services, and jobs using Kotlin.
The ideal candidate brings systems thinking (understanding that optimizing systems requires end-to-end design and valuing simplicity), speed (generating ideas quickly and knowing what can ship now vs. what needs time), focus (thriving in a high-growth, remote environment), and strong collaboration skills with designers, marketers, and product managers.
Preferred tech stack includes Kotlin Multiplatform (Java experience acceptable but role focuses on Kotlin Multiplatform) and prior GCP experience is a plus. You'll work in a fast-growing environment where you can shape the company and product, with an entrepreneurial team that supports risk and hustle. The role offers hands-off management, competitive salary, stock options, and the opportunity to impact millions of users, including those with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
