Mission

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 absorb it all and let you listen to it at your desk, on the go, at your own speed, and with tools that make learning easier, deeper, and faster.

What streaming services have done for audio entertainment, we’re doing for audio information. And whatever we’re doing seems to be working. We’re #1 in our category, and experiencing exponential growth.

Overview

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 the integration/UX tradeoffs relevant to different product teams, and deliver solutions via our cross-platform SDK
• Optimize existing functionality to ship things like 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, and you believe simplicity is valuable.
• Speed. You work quickly to generate ideas and options and know how to decide which things can ship now and what things need time
• Focus. We’re a high-growth startup with a busy, remote team. You know how and when to engage or be heads down
• Collaboration. You know how to inspire, play, and negotiate 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.
• A hands-off management approach so you can focus and do your best work.
• An opportunity to make a big impact in a transformative industry.
• Competitive salaries, a friendly and laid-back atmosphere, and a commitment to building a great asynchronous culture.
• Opportunity to work on a life-changing product that millions of people use.
• Build products that directly impact and support people with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, concussions, autism, and more.
• Work in one of the fastest growing sectors of tech, the intersection of artificial intelligence and audio.

About the position

As a Staff Fullstack Engineer, you will be a technical North Star for the CRM & Plugins domain. You aren't just building features; you are architecting the foundational systems that transform how sales content is created, organized, and distributed at a global scale.

You will partner with product and engineering leadership to bridge the gap between business strategy and technical execution, ensuring our TypeScript-based serverless architecture on AWS remains resilient, scalable,flexible, and forward-thinking. This role is designed for a visionary who balances deep-dive coding with high-level system design and the mentorship of emerging talent.

What You’ll Do

• Architectural Stewardship: Design and oversee the implementation of cloud-native, serverless software solutions that set the standard for performance, high availability and scalability across the organization.
• Strategic Technical Leadership: Define the multi-year technical roadmap for CRM integrations (Salesforce, Microsoft, Google) and plugin ecosystems, ensuring long-term maintainability.
• Cross-Functional Impact: Lead the most complex projects with a broad scope, maintaining high productivity while managing dependencies across multiple engineering squads.
• Mentorship & Culture: Establish and uphold "best-in-class" engineering standards. Actively mentor senior engineers, lead code reviews, and foster an environment of continuous learning and rigorous testing.
• System Optimization: Drive deep-level performance tuning and optimization of the entire stack—from Angular frontend efficiency to complex messaging and database integrations.
• Innovation: Evangelize AI-native development practices and serverless advancements on AWS to keep Showpad at the cutting edge of Sales Enablement technology.
• Operational Excellence: Own the end-to-end lifecycle of critical systems, from initial requirement gathering through to automated deployment and seamless monitoring.

What We’re Looking For

• Must haves

  • Proven Technical Authority: Extensive experience as a lead, staff, or principal engineer in a high-growth SaaS environment.
  • Architectural Depth: Mastery of TypeScript and modern web frameworks (preferably Angular), with the ability to design and improve complex, distributed full-stack cloud architectures.
  • Cloud Expertise: Deep hands-on experience with AWS serverless paradigms and the ability to automate infrastructure at scale.
  • Leadership Presence: Exceptional communication skills with a "team-first" mentality and a track record of leading through influence rather than just authority.
  • Agile Visionary: Mastery of agile methodologies, capable of refining processes to improve team velocity and output quality.
  
  

  Nice to haves

  • Domain Expertise: Prior experience in Digital Asset Management (DAM) or Content Management Systems (CMS).
  • Ecosystem Building: Proven experience building and maintaining high-traffic SDK packages for third-party developers.
  • Polyglot Background: Familiarity with PHP, Kotlin, Go, or Python to assist in legacy transitions or specialized service development.
