Job summary

Speechify, a fully distributed company, is seeking a Team Lead to own core product work and raise how the team works around it. This is a hands-on role—you'll write code, review code, and own features from conception to release.

We value someone who can keep features reliable, push for faster delivery, and minimize manual steps in releases. Excellent communication and a results-driven mindset are essential for success in our remote, globally distributed team.

Qualifications

• This is a hands-on leadership role requiring active coding and feature ownership.
• Strong communication and collaboration across teams are essential.
• Proven ability to ship reliable software in a fast-paced environment.

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
