Speechify is a text-to-speech platform used by over 50 million people to convert PDFs, books, Google Docs, articles, and websites into audio. The company recently earned Apple's 2025 Design Award for Inclusivity and Google's Chrome Extension of the Year. With ~200 employees globally in a fully distributed setting, Speechify is hiring a Senior iOS Engineer to support rapid growth of its iOS app (currently #18 in App Store productivity category) and develop new features aligned with the company's mission to remove reading as a barrier to learning. In this role, you will lead key engineering and product decisions, actively ship production code for the iOS app, work within a dedicated product team, participate in product roadmap discussions, and maintain the app's complex architecture. You'll have the opportunity to shape product direction and collaborate with designers and internal teams on strategic decisions. Ideal candidates have experience scaling products to large user bases, a track record of shipping products from inception through traction, and strong product thinking. You should be customer-obsessed, work at high velocity, and know how to balance speed with thoughtful decision-making. Technical expertise required includes Swift, SwiftUI, multithreading, CI/CD infrastructure, Fastlane, SOLID principles, and Git workflows. Speechy values flat organizational structure where excellent technical skills and consistent delivery create leadership opportunities. The company emphasizes work ethic, communication, and competitive drive. You'll work on a product with profound real-world impact—users frequently share emotional stories about how Speechify transformed their ability to learn and work, particularly those with dyslexia, ADHD, low vision, autism, and other learning differences.
