Speechify is the leading text-to-speech platform that makes information accessible by converting articles, documents, and books into audio. 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 all platforms. This is a critical role at the intersection of product and infrastructure, where you'll design 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
- 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 have strong systems thinking, understanding that optimizing requires end-to-end design with a focus on simplicity. You work quickly to generate ideas and options, knowing what can ship now versus what needs time. You thrive in a high-growth startup environment with a remote team, balancing engagement with focused heads-down work. You collaborate effectively with opinionated 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.
Speechify builds products that directly impact people with learning differences including dyslexia, ADD, low vision, concussions, and autism. The company offers competitive salaries, stock options, a friendly atmosphere, and a commitment to asynchronous culture.
