Zusammenfassung

Speechify is seeking an experienced Team Lead for its Android platform to own core features end-to-end, contribute hands-on coding, and guide the team through design and release decisions. You will balance delivery with reliability, reviews, and process improvements to ship quality audio-focused experiences.

The role emphasizes mentoring, collaboration with Product/Design/Engineering, and building scalable, testable Android code in a distributed environment.

Qualifikationen

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including time leading a team or owning a major surface while staying hands-on.
• Proficient with Kotlin stack and Android architecture patterns.
• Experience shipping and maintaining background audio or long-running tasks.
• Strong testing mindset and ability to introduce lasting improvements.
• Proven track record of shipping impactful features used by the team.
• Comfort with guiding teams through organizational changes.
• A track record of AI-enabled team collaboration and practical adoption.
• Product design intuition and user empathy.
• Self-drive to improve the app and codebase beyond the spec.
• Excellent communication skills.

Aufgaben

• 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 consolidated 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 on its own
• 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 the nightly build going to QA is a confirmation rather than the first time anyone finds out
• Run planning so the team's attention goes to the work that still needs decisions rather than the work that's already clear
• Work out how much review each area needs, and where a person always signs off regardless
• Participate in discussions across Product, Design, and Engineering, and bring the team's constraints into those rooms early
• Handle critical issues, own feature releases, and provide nightly builds for the QA team
• Make sure the people early in their careers are getting work they can learn from, and the time to learn from it
