About SlideSpeak

SlideSpeak is transforming how consumers and businesses create presentations with AI. Since launching just 12 months ago, our users have generated over 6 million presentations, and we're experiencing explosive growth - all while being profitable and bootstrapped. We're the fastest-growing company in the space, doubling our revenue every 3 months. We have a world-class team and product competing against legacy software that hasn't innovated in decades. The only thing that can stop us now is the team we cultivate, so we're looking for exceptional people dedicated to reimagining how people tell stories.

About the role

We're looking for a motivated Full Stack Software Engineer with a focus on backend who wants to make a significant impact. As part of our small but growing team of 5, your work will directly influence the core product, enhancing our offering at a global scale. We're building out a one-of-a-kind AI-first presentation editor, so we hope you like working with 2D graphics.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain backend services using Python, FastAPI, and other frameworks
• Develop and optimize front-end UI with NextJS, React, and TypeScript
• Develop LLM and ML services to generate content for presentations (images, infographics, icons, content, ...)
• Collaborate on database management and query optimization
• Contribute to all phases of the development lifecycle, from design to deployment

About you

You have concrete career goals and are looking to grow rapidly in a high-velocity environment. You're eager to learn and contribute meaningfully to a product that's changing how millions of people create presentations.

You move fast and can adapt quickly. We've entered a phase of growth where there is more work to do than there are people to do it - this means everyone on the team will be busy, but there are also countless opportunities to grow personally and make progress towards your goals.

You have a high quality bar for your work, even when moving quickly. As we scale our teams and customer base, the expectations of our software rises with it.

You're looking for teammates, not coworkers - folks you can learn from and grow with at SlideSpeak, and beyond.
