Speechify is a 50M+ user text-to-speech platform that transforms reading into audio across iOS, Android, Mac, Chrome, and web. The company was named Chrome Extension of the Year by Google and won Apple's 2025 Design Award for Inclusivity. With ~200 employees globally in a fully distributed setup, Speechify is building next-generation AI models for accessibility.
You'll join the Data side of the AI team, owning all aspects of data collection to support model training at petabyte scale. This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll be scrappy in sourcing new audio data, operating and extending cloud infrastructure (GCP, Terraform), and collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier. You'll also help shape the AI team's dataset roadmap alongside leadership.
Key responsibilities:
- Source and integrate new audio data into ingestion pipelines
- Operate and extend GCP-based cloud infrastructure managed with Terraform
- Partner with scientists to deliver richer datasets at scale and lower cost
- Contribute to strategic dataset roadmap decisions
You bring 5+ years of software development experience, strong proficiency in Python/bash scripting, Docker, Infrastructure-as-Code, and hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (GCP preferred). Web crawlers and large-scale data processing experience is a plus. You're adaptable, communicate clearly, and thrive in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment.
Speechify offers competitive compensation, equity, a hands-off management approach, and the opportunity to impact millions of users—especially those with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
