Senior Software Engineer, Core Experiences

Speechify is the easiest way to listen to the world's information — articles on the web, documents in the cloud, books on your phone. We're #1 in our category, and experiencing exponential growth.

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Core Experiences Team. This team builds and maintains the foundational services and SDKs that power Speechify's product experience across platforms. It's a critical role for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of product and infrastructure, thinks strategically, and is passionate about designing clear, reliable APIs and simple systems that directly enhance the user experience.

What You'll Do: Collaborate with Speechify's Product Teams to scope projects, find ways to reduce scope to get faster feedback from customers, navigate integration/UX tradeoffs, and deliver solutions via our cross-platform SDK. Optimize existing functionality to ship faster loading and more intelligent parsing by designing more efficient abstractions and improving our algorithms. Ship cloud functions, lightweight backend services, and jobs using Kotlin.

An Ideal Candidate Should Have: Systems thinking — you know that optimizing a system requires end-to-end design. Speed to work quickly to generate ideas and options. Focus for a high-growth startup with a busy, remote team. Collaboration skills to work with opinionated designers, marketers, and PMs.

Preferred Tech Stack: Kotlin Multiplatform (Java experience is OK but role is Kotlin Multiplatform). Prior experience with GCP is a plus.

What We Offer: A fast-growing environment where you can help shape the company and product. An entrepreneurial-minded team that supports risk, intuition, and hustle. Competitive salaries, a friendly and laid-back atmosphere, and a commitment to building a great asynchronous culture.
