Speechify is a fast-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 role sits at the intersection of product and infrastructure, requiring strategic thinking and a passion for designing clear, reliable APIs and simple systems that 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 is Kotlin-focused) 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, stock options, and the opportunity to impact millions of users, including those with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, and autism.
