Job summary

Speechify is seeking an experienced Team Lead to own core Android product work and drive delivery at scale. You will write code, review PRs, and own features end-to-end in a distributed team.

The role emphasizes reliability, design collaboration, and shipping long-running background work, with a culture that values leadership by example. You’ll lead features from concept to release, mentor junior engineers, and improve testing and automation.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering, 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.

Responsibilities

• Own major features end to end, working closely with our design team - from the decision through to release.
• Own, maintain, and improve reliability metrics for key features.
• Review pull requests and give feedback that helps others learn and grow.
• Unblock the team when someone is stuck and guide the next steps.
• Ensure changes become the standard approach used by the team.
• Keep shared code and assets clean, well-tested, and easy to pick up.
• Call it when the team is ready to change how it works, rather than waiting for that to happen on its own.
• Reduce manual intervention to get a correct release out.
• Address recurring problems by changing underlying setups.
• Grow automated checks so nightly QA is confident rather than a first-time discovery.
• Plan sprints so the team focuses on unresolved decisions.
