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 as a fully remote organization.
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 engineering role with significant impact on Speechify's next-generation AI models.
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 working with leadership to define the AI team's dataset roadmap for 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, Infrastructure-as-Code, and experience with at least one major cloud provider (GCP preferred). Experience with web crawlers and large-scale data processing is a plus. The role requires strong communication, adaptability, and comfort with scrappy problem-solving in a fast-moving environment.
Speechify offers competitive compensation, equity, a hands-off management approach, and the opportunity to impact a product used by millions, including people with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
