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 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 for data ingestion (currently GCP with Terraform); collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier; and working with AI leadership to define the dataset roadmap for next-generation 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 environments, and hands-on experience with Docker and Infrastructure-as-Code on major cloud providers. Experience with web crawlers and large-scale data processing workflows is a plus. The role values adaptability, strong communication, and the ability to operate scrappily in a fast-moving environment.
Speechify offers a competitive, entrepreneurial culture with hands-off management, asynchronous work practices, and the opportunity to impact millions of users with accessibility-focused technology.
