Android Core Product Lead - Hands-On, Impact-Driven

Speechify; United States; Remote; USD 120,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Speechify is seeking a Team Lead to own core product work for its Android app and other platforms. This hands-on role means you’ll write code, review code, and drive features end-to-end while guiding the team through decisions and releases.

In a 100% distributed company with no office, you’ll collaborate with frontend, backend, and AI engineers across time zones, improve reliability, review PRs, and help the team move faster while maintaining quality.

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
• Notice when something one person built should become the version the team uses, and see that change through
• Keep the shared pieces in working order — tested, clear enough for someone else to pick up, and consolidate when three versions of the same thing appear
• Call it when the team is ready to change how it works, rather than waiting for that to happen..
• Reduce how much manual intervention it takes to get a correct release out
• When the same problem shows up twice, get the underlying setup changed so there isn't a third time
• Shift verification left: grow what can be checked automatically so
