Speechify is a fast-growing text-to-speech platform that converts articles, documents, and books into audio, making information accessible and consumable on-the-go. 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 directly enhance user experience.
Key responsibilities include:
- Collaborating with Product Teams to scope projects, reduce scope for faster customer feedback, navigate integration/UX tradeoffs, and deliver solutions via cross-platform SDK
- Optimizing existing functionality to ship faster loading, more intelligent parsing, and improved algorithms through better abstractions
- Shipping 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 knowing what can ship now vs. later), focus (managing engagement in a busy remote startup), and collaboration (working effectively with designers, marketers, and PMs).
The preferred tech stack includes Kotlin Multiplatform (Java experience acceptable but role is Kotlin-focused) and prior GCP experience is a plus. You'll work in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment with hands-off management, competitive compensation, and the opportunity to impact millions of users, including those with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, and low vision.
