Speechify is a text-to-speech platform used by over 50 million people globally to convert PDFs, books, Google Docs, articles, and websites into audio. The company was named Chrome Extension of the Year by Google and received Apple's 2025 Design Award for Inclusivity. With ~200 employees distributed globally and no physical office, Speechify operates at the intersection of AI and audio accessibility.
You'll join the Data side of the 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.
Key responsibilities include: sourcing new audio data and integrating it into the ingestion pipeline; operating and extending cloud infrastructure (GCP, Terraform-managed) for data ingestion; collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier; and working with leadership to define 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 software development experience, proficiency with bash/Python in Linux, Docker and Infrastructure-as-Code expertise, and hands-on experience with a major cloud provider (GCP preferred). Web crawler and large-scale data processing experience is a plus. The role requires adaptability, strong communication, and comfort operating in a scrappy, fast-moving environment.
Speechify's mission is to ensure reading is never a barrier to learning, with products that directly support people with dyslexia, ADD, low vision, concussions, autism, and other learning differences.
