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 has been recognized by Google (Chrome Extension of the Year) and Apple (2025 Design Award for Inclusivity) and operates as a fully distributed team of ~200 people.
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 role where you'll own critical infrastructure that powers next-generation AI models.
Key responsibilities include: sourcing new audio data and integrating it into ingestion pipelines; operating and extending cloud infrastructure (GCP, Terraform) for data ingestion; collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier; and helping shape the AI team's dataset roadmap for consumer and enterprise products.
You should have 5+ years of software development experience, strong proficiency in Python/bash scripting and Linux environments, 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 is scrappy, adaptable, and communicates clearly in writing and verbally.
Speechify's mission is to ensure reading is never a barrier to learning. The product directly impacts people with dyslexia, ADD, low vision, concussions, autism, and other learning differences. You'll work in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment with a hands-off management approach and strong asynchronous culture.
