Speechify is a fast-growing AI-powered audio platform that converts written content (articles, documents, books) into high-quality audio, enabling users to consume information while multitasking. 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 infrastructure that power Speechify's product across all platforms (web, mobile, desktop). This is a strategic role at the intersection of product and infrastructure—you'll work closely with product teams to scope features, design efficient APIs, and ship reliable systems that directly improve user experience.
Key responsibilities:
- Collaborate with product teams to define project scope, identify opportunities to reduce scope for faster customer feedback, and navigate integration/UX tradeoffs across different platforms
- Optimize existing functionality through better abstractions and algorithms (e.g., faster loading, more intelligent content parsing)
- Ship cloud functions, lightweight backend services, and batch jobs using Kotlin
- Think end-to-end about system design, prioritizing simplicity and reliability
Ideal candidates demonstrate systems thinking, speed of execution, focus in a high-growth remote environment, and strong collaboration skills with designers, marketers, and product managers. The preferred tech stack is Kotlin Multiplatform (Java experience acceptable), with GCP experience a plus.
Speechify's mission centers on accessibility—the product directly supports people with dyslexia, ADHD, low vision, concussions, autism, and other learning differences. You'll work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial culture with hands-off management, competitive compensation, and the opportunity to impact millions of users in the AI + audio space.
