Speechify is the leading text-to-speech platform, enabling users to listen to articles, documents, and books across devices. 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. 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 different product teams
- Deliver solutions via cross-platform SDK
- Optimize existing functionality to ship faster loading 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 requires end-to-end design with a focus on simplicity), speed (quickly generating ideas and knowing what can ship now vs. later), focus (thriving in a high-growth, remote, busy environment), and collaboration (inspiring and negotiating with designers, marketers, and PMs).
Preferred tech stack: Kotlin Multiplatform (Java experience acceptable but role focuses on Kotlin Multiplatform); GCP experience is a plus.
The company offers a fast-growing environment where you can shape the product, an entrepreneurial team supporting risk and hustle, hands-off management, competitive salaries, and the opportunity to impact millions of users with accessibility-focused technology at the intersection of AI and audio.
