Speechify; United States; Remote; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Speechify seeks a Team Lead to own core product work for its Android app and other platforms. This hands-on role involves writing code, reviewing code, and owning features from decision through release. You’ll help the team stay aligned, deliver reliably, and move fast in a fully distributed environment.

You’ll lead the effort to reduce manual release steps, ensure quality through automated checks, and help scale the team by making clear, robust technical decisions across multiple platforms.

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
