The company was recently named Chrome Extension of the Year by Google and received Apple's 2025 Design Award for Inclusivity. With ~200 employees globally in a fully distributed setting, 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 and low cost 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) for data ingestion; collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier; and working with AI leadership to shape the dataset roadmap for next-generation consumer and enterprise products.
You should have 5+ years of software development experience, proficiency with 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 workflows is a plus. The ideal candidate holds a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field, demonstrates strong communication skills, and can adapt to changing priorities in a fast-moving environment.
Speechify offers a competitive, entrepreneurial culture with hands-off management, the opportunity to impact a transformative product used by millions, and the chance to support people with learning differences including dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
