Remote Team Lead, Android Core Product

Speechify; Santa Clara, Northern (CA, KY); Hybrid; USD 150,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Speechify is seeking a Team Lead for Android Core Product in Santa Clara. This hands-on role leads major features end to end, writes code, reviews code, and guides the Android stack from design through release.

You will own reliability metrics, collaborate across Product, Design, and Engineering, unblock the team, and drive efficient planning and automated verification. This remote, distributed environment values performance, mentorship, and fast delivery.

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 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
