Speechify is a fast-growing AI-powered audio platform that converts written content (articles, documents, books) into high-quality 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, SDKs, and infrastructure that power Speechify's product across all 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, navigate integration/UX tradeoffs, and deliver solutions via cross-platform SDK - Optimizing existing functionality to improve performance (faster loading, intelligent parsing) through efficient abstractions and algorithm improvements - Shipping cloud functions, lightweight backend services, and jobs using Kotlin - Working end-to-end on system design with a focus on simplicity and reliability Ideal candidates demonstrate systems thinking, speed in execution, focus in a high-growth remote environment, and strong collaboration skills with designers, marketers, and product managers. The preferred tech stack includes Kotlin Multiplatform (Java experience acceptable), with GCP experience as a plus. The role offers a hands-off management approach, entrepreneurial culture, competitive compensation, and the opportunity to impact millions of users, including those with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, and low vision.
