The company has been recognized by Google (Chrome Extension of the Year) and Apple (2025 Design Award for Inclusivity) and operates as a fully distributed, 100% remote organization with ~200 employees globally.
You'll join the Data side of Speechify's AI team, responsible for all aspects of data collection to support model training operations. The team builds high-quality datasets at petabyte scale through tight integration of infrastructure, engineering, and research. This is a hands-on engineering role with significant technical ownership.
Key responsibilities include: sourcing new audio data and integrating it into the ingestion pipeline; operating and extending cloud infrastructure (GCP, Terraform) for data ingestion; collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier; and helping shape the AI team's dataset roadmap for next-generation consumer and enterprise products.
You should have a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field, 5+ years of industry software development experience, strong proficiency with bash/Python in Linux environments, hands-on experience with Docker and Infrastructure-as-Code, and professional experience with a major cloud provider (GCP preferred). Experience with web crawlers and large-scale data processing workflows is a plus. The role requires adaptability, strong communication, and comfort working in a distributed, asynchronous environment.
Speechify offers competitive salaries, stock options, a fast-growing environment, entrepreneurial culture, hands-off management, and the opportunity to impact a transformative product used by millions, including people with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
