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 a fully remote, asynchronous culture. You will 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 AI 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 should have a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field, 5+ years of industry software development experience, proficiency with bash/Python in Linux, 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. Strong communication skills and ability to adapt to changing priorities are essential. Speechify offers competitive salaries, stock options, and the opportunity to work on a transformative product that directly impacts people with learning differences including dyslexia, ADD, low vision, and autism.
