Speechify; United States; Remote; USD 130,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Speechify, the leader in text-to-speech, is looking for a Team Lead to own core product work for the Android app and related features. This hands-on role requires writing code, reviewing code, and guiding end-to-end delivery with a strong emphasis on reliability and fast iteration.

You will unblock the team, balance speed with quality, and help shape how the engineering org works as it grows a distributed, remote-first culture.

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
