Speechify is hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Core Experiences

About the Role

Shape the foundation of a transformative product as a Senior Software Engineer on the Core Experiences team. You'll design and maintain the underlying services and SDKs that power a cross-platform experience used by millions, bridging infrastructure and product to deliver fast, intelligent, and accessible solutions.

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with product teams to define project scope and prioritize deliverables that enable rapid customer feedback
  • Balance integration needs and user experience tradeoffs across multiple platforms
  • Develop and refine cross-platform SDKs to improve performance, loading speed, and parsing accuracy
  • Design clean, scalable abstractions and optimize algorithms for efficiency
  • Build and deploy cloud functions, lightweight backend services, and background jobs using Kotlin

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong systems thinking with the ability to design and evaluate end-to-end architectures
  • A mindset oriented toward simplicity—knowing what to build now and what to defer
  • Proven ability to stay focused and productive in a fast-paced, remote, asynchronous environment
  • Experience collaborating with designers, marketers, and product managers to align technical and product goals
  • Comfort making tradeoffs and navigating technical constraints to deliver user value quickly

Preferred Background

  • Hands-on experience with Kotlin Multiplatform
  • Familiarity with Java (secondary to Kotlin for this role)
  • Experience deploying and managing services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Environment & Impact

You’ll work in a hands-off, entrepreneurial culture that values initiative, intuition, and results. The team prioritizes asynchronous communication, enabling deep work and global collaboration. You’ll contribute to a product that supports users with dyslexia, ADD, low vision, autism, and other learning differences—delivering real-world impact through accessible technology.

This role operates remotely with a strong emphasis on asynchronous workflows. Compensation is competitive, and the work sits at the cutting edge of AI and audio innovation—a fast-growing space with transformative potential.
