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.
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, 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
Ideal candidates demonstrate systems thinking with end-to-end design perspective and appreciation for simplicity. You work quickly to generate ideas and options, knowing what can ship now versus what needs time. You thrive in a high-growth, remote startup environment where you can be heads-down when needed and collaborative when required. You inspire and negotiate effectively 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 company offers a fast-growing environment where you can shape the product, an entrepreneurial team supporting 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. You'll work at the intersection of AI and audio, one of tech's fastest-growing sectors.
