The company was named Chrome Extension of the Year by Google and received Apple's 2025 Design Award for Inclusivity. With ~200 employees in a fully distributed setting, Speechify combines talent from major tech companies (Amazon, Microsoft, Google), leading research institutions (Stanford), and high-growth startups (Stripe, Vercel, Bolt).
You will join the Data side of the AI team, responsible for all aspects of data collection supporting model training operations. The role focuses on building high-quality datasets at petabyte scale 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 leadership to shape the AI team's dataset roadmap for next-generation 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.
Speechify's mission is to ensure reading is never a barrier to learning, with products that directly support people with dyslexia, ADD, low vision, concussions, autism, and other learning differences.
