Speechify; United States; Remote; USD 130,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Speechify is a remote-first tech company building accessible text-to-speech tools. We’re seeking a Team Lead to own core product work for our reading apps and to raise how the team operates. The role requires hands-on coding, code reviews, and ownership of features from decision through release, assuring high quality and fast delivery.

You’ll guide the team, improve reliability metrics, unblock colleagues, and ensure that releases are correct and timely in a distributed, fast-moving 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
