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 Design award winner for inclusivity for 2025.

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.

AI-First Proficiency

We embrace AI-first development. Our ideal candidate has moved way beyond basic Copilot usage, and integrated AI agents into their entire SDLC—from autonomous debugging and log analysis to rapid prototyping and shipping features to production. We expect you to be an expert "pilot" who can orchestrate AI tools to deliver high-quality code at a pace that traditional workflows can't match. Practically this means that you are running multi-agent flows using tools like Claude Code, Cursor or similar. If you’ve optimized your workflow to be 10x faster using the latest AI tools, we want to talk to you.
