The mission of Speechify is to make sure that reading is never a barrier to learning. Over 50 million people use Speechify’s text‑to‑speech products to turn whatever they’re reading – PDFs, books, Google Docs, news articles, websites – into audio, so they can read faster, read more, and remember more. Speechify’s products include its iOS app, Android app, Mac app, Chrome extension, and web app. Google recently named Speechify the Chrome Extension of the Year and Apple named Speechify its App of the Day.

Today, nearly 200 people around the globe work on Speechify in a 100% distributed setting – we have no office. Our team includes frontend and backend engineers, AI research scientists, and many others from Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Stripe, Vercel, Bolt, and founders of their own companies.

This is a key role for someone who thinks strategically, enjoys fast‑paced environments, is passionate about making product decisions, and has experience building great user experiences that delight users. We are a flat organization that allows anyone to become a leader by showing excellent technical skills and delivering results consistently and fast. Work ethic, solid communication skills, and an obsession with winning are paramount.

Our interview process involves several technical interviews and we aim to complete them within one week.

What You’ll Do

• Work alongside machine learning researchers, engineers, and product managers to bring our AI voices to customers for a diverse range of use cases.
• Deploy and operate the core ML inference workloads for our AI voices serving pipeline.
• Introduce new techniques, tools, and architecture that improve the performance, latency, throughput, and efficiency of our deployed models.
• Build tools to give us visibility into our bottlenecks and sources of instability and then design and implement solutions to address the highest priority issues.

An Ideal Candidate Should Have

• Experience shipping Python‑based services.
• Experience being responsible for the successful operation of a critical production service.
• Experience with public cloud environments, GCP preferred.
• Experience with infrastructure such as code, Docker, and containerized deployments.
• Preferred: Experience deploying high‑availability applications on Kubernetes.
• Preferred: Experience deploying ML models to production.

What We Offer

• A dynamic environment where your contributions shape the company and its products.
• A team that values innovation, intuition, and drive.
• Autonomy, fostering focus and creativity.
• The opportunity to have a significant impact in a revolutionary industry.
• Competitive compensation, a welcoming atmosphere, and a commitment to an exceptional asynchronous work culture.
• The privilege of working on a product that changes lives, particularly for those with learning differences such as dyslexia, ADD, and more.
• An active role at the intersection of artificial intelligence and audio – a rapidly evolving tech domain.
