Speechify is a rapidly growing audio-information platform that converts articles, documents, and books into listenable content. The company is #1 in its category and experiencing exponential growth, serving millions of users including those with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
The Core Experiences Team builds and maintains foundational services and SDKs that power Speechify's product across platforms. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you'll work at the intersection of product and infrastructure, 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, and navigate integration/UX tradeoffs across different product teams
- Delivering solutions via cross-platform SDK
- Optimizing existing functionality to ship faster loading times and more intelligent parsing through efficient abstractions and algorithm improvements
- Shipping cloud functions, lightweight backend services, and jobs using Kotlin
You should bring 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 (ability to engage strategically or work heads-down 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. The role offers a fast-growing environment where you can shape the company and product, an entrepreneurial team that supports risk and hustle, hands-off management, and the opportunity to impact a transformative industry at the intersection of AI and audio.
