We’re building a small remote IT Operations team in Vietnam to provide helpdesk and operational coverage during weekends and off-peak hours for a globally distributed company. We’re hiring three positions covering:

• Full weekend coverage (Saturday & Sunday, 24 hours) split across three 8-hour shifts
• Weekday shifts (one or two days per person, 06:00–14:00 ICT) covering Asia-Pacific business hours and bridging US/EU gaps

Schedules are coordinated across the team with flexibility to swap shifts as long as full coverage is maintained. Hours range from 24–32 per week depending on schedule.

These are hands-on roles splitting between reactive helpdesk support and proactive project work. During quieter periods you’ll have space for system improvements, maintenance, and new solutions.

Available Schedules (all times ICT/Vietnam)

Schedule A — 32 hours/week

Monday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday: 06:00–14:00

Schedule B — 32 hours/week

Tuesday, Wednesday: 06:00–14:00 | Saturday, Sunday: 14:00–22:00

Schedule C — 24 hours/week

Thursday: 06:00–14:00 | Saturday, Sunday: 22:00–06:00

Please indicate which schedule(s) you’re interested in when applying.

What You’ll Do

• First responder for employee IT support via helpdesk tickets, chat, and other channels.
• Troubleshoot issues across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments.
• Manage user accounts, access, and permissions through Okta, Active Directory, and Google Workspace.
• Administer SaaS platforms including CrowdStrike, Jira, Slack, and others.
• Handle zero-touch workstation deployment and remote endpoint management.
• Monitor systems and security tooling for alerts or events requiring escalation.
• Maintain support documentation and runbooks.
• Coordinate with vendors on hardware procurement, returns, and repairs.
• Take on project work — system improvements, automation, and new solutions during downtime.

You May Be a Good Fit If You Have

• Strong English proficiency, written and verbal. You’ll communicate with employees across multiple timezones via chat, tickets, and video calls.
• Experience in helpdesk, desktop support, or IT operations covering Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Working familiarity with identity and access management — Okta, Active Directory, or similar.
• Comfort administering cloud-based platforms (Google Workspace, Jira, Slack, etc.).
• Familiarity with Linux servers and/or Windows Server environments.
• Some scripting ability (Bash, Python, or similar) or willingness to develop it.
• Basic understanding of cybersecurity principles — hands-on experience is a plus.
• Personal curiosity about technology — home labs, side projects, automation experiments, anything that shows you tinker and learn on your own.

Bonus

• SSO and provisioning protocols (SAML 2.0, SCIM).
• Endpoint management and zero-touch deployment tools.
• Networking fundamentals, VPNs, and firewall/routing concepts.
• A/V and telecom systems.
• Authorization and privilege management (LDAP/AD binding, least-privilege access).

Work Style

• Independent on weekends with escalation paths for critical issues.
• Weekday shifts overlap with the broader IT and security team for collaboration and handoffs.
• We value self-motivation, clear communication, and a genuine desire to grow your skills and step outside your comfort zone.

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.
