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 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 shape the AI team's dataset roadmap for consumer and enterprise products.
You should have a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field with 5+ years of industry software development experience. Required skills: bash/Python scripting in Linux, Docker, Infrastructure-as-Code, and hands-on experience with a major cloud provider (GCP preferred). Experience with web crawlers and large-scale data processing workflows is a plus. The ideal candidate is scrappy, adaptable to changing priorities, and communicates clearly both written and verbally.
Speechy offers a fast-growing environment where you can shape the company and product, an entrepreneurial team that supports risk and hustle, hands-off management, competitive salaries, and the opportunity to work on a transformative product impacting millions, especially those with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
