Speechify is a fast-growing AI & audio company on a mission to make reading accessible to everyone. With 50+ million users relying on its text-to-speech products across iOS, Android, Mac, Chrome, and web, Speechify has been recognized by Google (Chrome Extension of the Year) and Apple (2025 Design Award for Inclusivity). The company operates as a fully distributed, 200-person team with no physical office.
You'll join the Data side of Speechify's AI team, responsible for building and operating the infrastructure that powers high-quality dataset collection at petabyte scale. This role bridges engineering, infrastructure, and research to support next-generation model training.
Key responsibilities include:
- Sourcing and integrating new audio data sources into the ingestion pipeline
- Operating and extending cloud infrastructure (GCP, Terraform) for data collection workflows
- Collaborating with AI researchers to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier of datasets
- Working with leadership to define the AI team's dataset roadmap for consumer and enterprise products
You'll need 5+ years of software development experience, strong proficiency in Python/bash scripting, hands-on experience with Docker and Infrastructure-as-Code, and familiarity with major cloud providers (GCP preferred). Experience with web crawlers and large-scale data processing is a plus. The ideal candidate holds a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field and thrives in a scrappy, fast-moving environment.
Speechify offers competitive compensation, equity, a hands-off management approach, and the opportunity to impact millions of users—particularly those with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
