Remote Lead: Android Core Product Engineer

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

Job summary

Speechify is a fully distributed, remote-first company building text-to-speech products across Android, iOS, Mac, Chrome, and Web. We’re looking for a hands-on Team Lead to own core product work, write and review code, and drive features from decision to release.

You’ll keep the team focused on delivering reliable, scalable experiences while unblocking colleagues, improving automation, and ensuring fast, quality releases for a global user base.

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
