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 recently 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 a fully remote, asynchronous culture. 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. This is a hands-on role where you'll directly impact the next generation of Speechify's consumer and enterprise AI products. Key responsibilities include: sourcing new audio data and integrating it into ingestion pipelines; operating and extending cloud infrastructure (GCP, Terraform) for data pipelines; collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier; and working with leadership to shape the AI team's dataset roadmap. You should have 5+ years of software development experience, strong proficiency in Python/bash scripting in Linux, 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 is a plus. A BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field is expected. The role offers competitive salary, stock, and bonus; a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment; 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.
