The company was 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 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 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-managed) for data ingestion; collaborating with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier; and working with AI leadership to shape the 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 and Infrastructure-as-Code proficiency; 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 offers a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment with hands-off management, competitive salaries, equity, and the opportunity to impact millions of users with accessibility-focused products.
