Job description
The mission of Speechify is to make sure that reading is never a barrier to learning.

Over 50 million people use Speechify’s text-to-speech products to turn whatever they’re reading – PDFs, books, Google Docs, news articles, websites – into audio, so they can read faster, read more, and remember more. Speechify’s text-to-speech reading products include its iOS app, Android App, Mac App, Chrome Extension, and Web App. Google recently named Speechify the Chrome Extension of the Year and Apple named Speechify its 2025 Design Award winner for Inclusivity.

Today, nearly 200 people around the globe work on Speechify in a 100% distributed setting – Speechify has no office. These include frontend and backend engineers, AI research scientists, and others from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, leading PhD programs like Stanford, high growth startups like Stripe, Vercel, Bolt, and many founders of their own companies.

This is a key role and ideal for someone who thinks strategically, enjoys fast-paced environments, is passionate about making product decisions, and has experience building great user experiences that delight users. We are a flat organization that allows anyone to become a leader by showing excellent technical skills and delivering results consistently and fast.

Direct experience with GCP and knowledge of AWS, Azure, or other cloud providers

Efficiency in ideation and implementation, prioritizing tasks based on urgency and impact

Preferred: Experience with Docker and containerized deployments

What We Offer

A dynamic environment where your contributions shape the company and its products

A team that values innovation, intuition, and drive

Autonomy, fostering focus and creativity

The opportunity to have a significant impact in a revolutionary industry

Competitive compensation, a welcoming atmosphere, and a commitment to an exceptional asynchronous work culture

The privilege of working on a product that changes lives, particularly for those with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, and more
