Job summary

Speechify seeks a Team Lead for Android Core Product. This remote role can influence Valencia-based product work while driving end-to-end ownership of major features.

You’ll code, review, and own features, ensuring timely releases and high reliability in a fast-paced, flat organization. You’ll lead with strong Kotlin expertise, maintain critical background services, and collaborate across Product, Design, and Engineering to deliver impactful Android UI/UX improvements while mentoring engineers

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including time leading a team or owning a major surface while staying hands-on.
• Rock solid Kotlin, Kotlin Coroutines, Kotlin Flow, Dagger 2, MVVM, Clean Architecture, Background Services, Music Player Service, Android animations, Jetpack Navigation, and JUnit tests.
• Experience shipping and maintaining background audio or other long-running background work.
• Understanding of the importance of tests and how to approach writing them, including what can't be covered by them.
• Something you introduced to a team that stuck after you stopped pushing it, and an honest account of what it cost to get there.
• Some comfort with the unpopular half of the job: asking people to change how they work, and living with the friction that follows.
• A track record of building things the rest of your team actually used, not only things that made you faster.
• The ability to describe how your team works with AI agents, not only how you do personally.

Responsibilities

• Own major features end to end, working closely with our design team — from the decision through to release. This is real delivery, not oversight.
• Own, maintain, and improve reliability metrics for key features.
• Review pull requests and give the kind of feedback people learn from, not just approval.
• Unblock the team: notice when someone has been stuck on the same thing for two days, and go take a look yourself.
• Shift verification left: grow what can be checked automatically so the nightly build going to QA is a confirmation rather than the first time anyone finds out.
