Job summary

Speechify is seeking a hands-on Android Team Lead to own core product work and lead a small team across design and engineering. You will write code, review code, and own features from conception through release, while guiding others to ship reliable, high-quality mobile experiences.

We value strong Kotlin expertise, deep knowledge of Android architecture, and a track record of shipping background tasks and media playback. This remote role offers direct impact in a distributed company.

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.
• A track record of building things the rest of your team actually used, not only things that made you faster.

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 constructive feedback
• Unblock the team: notice when someone has been stuck on the same thing for two days, and take action
• Keep shared pieces in working order — tested and clear for others to pick up
• Lead planning and ensure the team focuses on decisions that still need to be made
• Collaborate across Product, Design, and Engineering to incorporate constraints early
• Mentor early-career engineers to grow their capabilities
