Speechify, a 50M+ user text-to-speech platform, is hiring a Software Engineer for its Data Infrastructure & Acquisition team within the AI organization. The role focuses on building and operating the data pipeline that powers Speechify's next-generation AI models. You will own all aspects of data collection and ingestion infrastructure, working at petabyte scale. Key responsibilities include: sourcing new audio data streams and integrating them into the ingestion pipeline; operating and extending cloud infrastructure on GCP using Terraform; collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality tradeoff; and helping shape the AI team's dataset roadmap for consumer and enterprise products. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of software development experience with strong proficiency in Python/bash scripting, Docker, and Infrastructure-as-Code. Experience with web crawlers and large-scale data processing workflows is valued. You'll work in a 100% distributed, asynchronous environment with ~200 employees globally, many from top companies (Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Stripe, Vercel) and research institutions. Speechy has received significant recognition: Google named it Chrome Extension of the Year, and Apple awarded it the 2025 Design Award for Inclusivity. The company focuses on accessibility and impact—helping people with dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and other learning differences. You'll be working at the intersection of AI and audio in one of tech's fastest-growing sectors.
