Speechify is a mission-driven company making reading accessible to 50+ million users through text-to-speech technology. The company is 100% distributed with ~200 employees globally, including talent from Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Stanford, and high-growth startups like Stripe and Vercel.
You'll join the Data side of Speechify's AI team, responsible for all aspects of data collection supporting model training operations. The team builds high-quality datasets at petabyte scale through tight integration of infrastructure, engineering, and research.
Key responsibilities:
- Source and integrate new audio data into the ingestion pipeline
- Operate and extend cloud infrastructure (GCP, Terraform) for data ingestion
- Partner with research scientists to optimize the cost/throughput/quality frontier, delivering richer datasets at scale and lower cost
- Collaborate with the AI team and leadership to shape the dataset roadmap powering next-generation consumer and enterprise products
You bring 5+ years of software development experience with strong fundamentals: BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field, proficiency in bash/Python scripting in Linux, Docker, and Infrastructure-as-Code with hands-on cloud experience (GCP preferred). Experience with web crawlers and large-scale data processing workflows is a plus. You're adaptable, communicate clearly, and thrive in fast-moving environments.
Speechify offers competitive salaries, a hands-off management approach, and the opportunity to impact millions of users—particularly those with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism. You'll work at the intersection of AI and audio, one of tech's fastest-growing sectors.
