Speechify is a fast-growing text-to-speech platform that makes information accessible by converting articles, documents, and books into audio. 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, navigate integration/UX tradeoffs, and deliver solutions via cross-platform SDK
- Optimizing existing functionality to ship faster loading 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 (understanding end-to-end design and valuing simplicity), speed (quickly generating ideas and knowing what ships now vs. later), focus (managing engagement in a high-growth remote environment), and collaboration (working effectively with designers, marketers, and PMs).
Preferred tech stack includes Kotlin Multiplatform (Java experience acceptable but role focuses on Kotlin Multiplatform) and prior GCP experience is a plus.
The company emphasizes a fast-growing environment where you can shape the product, an entrepreneurial team supporting risk and hustle, hands-off management, and the opportunity to impact a transformative industry. Speechify's product directly supports people with learning differences including dyslexia, ADD, low vision, concussions, and autism.
