Speechify is the leading text-to-speech platform, enabling users to listen to articles, documents, and books across devices at their own pace. 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, and navigate integration/UX tradeoffs across product teams
- Deliver solutions via cross-platform SDK
- Optimize existing functionality to ship faster loading times and more intelligent parsing through efficient abstractions and algorithm improvements
- Ship cloud functions, lightweight backend services, and jobs using Kotlin
Ideal candidates demonstrate systems thinking (understanding that optimizing systems requires end-to-end design with a focus on simplicity), speed (quickly generating ideas and knowing what can ship now vs. what needs time), focus (thriving in a high-growth, busy remote environment), and collaboration skills (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 company offers a fast-growing environment where you can shape the company and product, an entrepreneurial team that supports risk and hustle, hands-off management, competitive salaries, stock options, and the opportunity to impact millions of users and support people with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
