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 worldwide.
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 impact on the company's next-generation AI capabilities.
Key responsibilities include: sourcing new audio data and integrating it into ingestion pipelines; operating and extending cloud infrastructure (GCP, Terraform) for data ingestion; collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier; and working with leadership to shape the AI team's dataset roadmap for consumer and enterprise products.
You should have 5+ years of software development experience, strong proficiency in Python/bash scripting and 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 ideal candidate holds a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field and can juggle multiple priorities while communicating effectively.
Speechify offers a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment with a hands-off management approach, competitive compensation, and the opportunity to build products that directly impact people with learning differences including dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
