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 was recently 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 audio 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. This is a hands-on role where you'll directly impact the next generation of Speechify's consumer and enterprise products.
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.
You'll need 5+ years of software development experience, proficiency with Python/bash scripting in Linux, hands-on experience with Docker and Infrastructure-as-Code, and familiarity with at least one major cloud provider (GCP preferred). Experience with web crawlers and large-scale data processing is a plus. A BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field is expected.
The role is fully remote within the US. Speechify offers competitive salaries, equity, and a laid-back asynchronous culture with hands-off management. You'll work on a product that directly impacts millions of people with learning differences including dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
