Speechify is a fast-growing AI-powered audio platform that converts written content (articles, documents, books) into high-quality audio, making information accessible and learnable at scale. 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 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:
- 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 Speechify's cross-platform SDK
- Optimize existing functionality to ship faster loading times 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 optimization requires end-to-end design and valuing simplicity), speed (quickly generating ideas and knowing what can ship now vs. later), focus (thriving in a high-growth, busy, remote environment), and strong collaboration skills with designers, marketers, and product managers.
Preferred tech stack: Kotlin Multiplatform (Java experience acceptable but role focuses on Kotlin Multiplatform), with GCP experience as 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, competitive salaries, and the opportunity to impact millions of users—particularly those with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
