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.

We’re looking for a Product Designer, AI to be the connective tissue between Product Design and Engineering. This role sits at the intersection of AI, UX, front‑end implementation, and systems thinking: you turn Figma into robust, reusable code, shape our design system in production, and lay the technical foundations that allow the Design organization to scale.

You’ll build interactive, high‑fidelity prototypes and production‑ready UI components, using AI‑assisted tools to accelerate exploration, prototyping, and iteration. You’ll partner closely with product designers, engineers, and product managers to bring ideas to life quickly, test them with users, and translate strong design intent into scalable implementation and a reliable design‑to‑code pipeline.

This role is onsite based at Shift4's location in Tampa, FL.

Responsibilities

Bridge design and engineering

• Translate design specs, components, and interaction patterns into high‑quality front‑end implementations that can be adopted by engineering teams.
• Work closely with designers to refine interaction details, states, and edge cases, then express them as code, stories, and clear usage guidelines.
• Collaborate with engineers to ensure prototypes align with technical constraints and can transition smoothly toward production.

Prototyping and AI‑assisted workflows

• Build high‑fidelity, interactive prototypes using a mix of design tools, AI prototyping tools (e.g., Claude‑style assistants, Replit, Figma AI), and code.
• Use AI‑assisted tools to rapidly explore ideas, generate UI logic, scaffold components, and iterate faster while maintaining implementation quality and consistency.
• Support UX research by preparing realistic prototypes for testing and iterating quickly based on user feedback and data.

Design System in Code

• Build and maintain the coded design system (components, tokens, utilities) in partnership with design system owners and front‑end leads.
• Ensure a tight mapping between Figma and code so components, variants, and tokens in Figma have clear, predictable equivalents in React/Vue and CSS/Tailwind.
• Establish standards for accessibility, performance, and theming within the component library, and ensure these standards are upheld across teams.

Foundations, tools, and workflows

• Set up and evolve tools, workflows, and repository structures that designers rely on for design‑to‑code (e.g., Storybook, design system sites, sandboxes, playgrounds).
• Define foundational conventions (naming, file structure, contribution guidelines, review processes) that make it easy for designers and engineers to extend the system.
• Partner with platform and DevEx teams to integrate design system components into product repos and CI/CD workflows.

Collaboration and enablement

• Pair with designers to upskill them on implementation realities and with engineers to deepen their understanding of design intent and UX quality.
• Support the adoption of AI prototyping tools and AI‑driven workflows within the design team, helping designers build confidence and fluency with new technologies.
• Create documentation, examples, and “how‑to” guides that help product teams use and extend the design system correctly.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in product design engineering, UX engineering, design technology, UI engineering, or a similar hybrid role with strong knowledge
  of AI tools to accelerate design and development workflows, and interest in shaping how they’re used in design‑to‑code.
• Strong understanding of product design principles, UX patterns, and interaction design, with examples of complex product workflows.
• Strong proficiency in modern front‑end technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, and a component framework such as React.
• Demonstrated experience implementing and maintaining a component library or design system in production.
• Comfortable working in Figma (or equivalent) and mapping design structures (components, variants, tokens) to code architectures.
• Experience building prototypes that go beyond click‑throughs (real data, logic, interactions, and edge cases).
• Experience collaborating closely with product designers, engineers, and product managers to ship user‑facing features in cross‑functional, Agile teams.
• Strong communication skills in English both written and verbal an with the ability to explain both design and technical decisions clearly to diverse stakeholders.
• Experience with design systems and component libraries, including contribution and governance.
•  

Nice‑to‑have

• Experience in a SaaS or payments/fintech environment with complex, data‑heavy interfaces.
• Familiarity with mobile platforms (Android; Kotlin a plus).
• Experience with documentation tools (Storybook, MDX, internal component galleries) and design system governance.
• Comfort with basic backend concepts and APIs sufficient to wire up realistic data into prototypes and component examples.
• Experience exploring and prototyping new interaction models, including AI‑assisted user flows, automated tasks, agent‑based experiences, voice interactions, or hardware‑connected interfaces.
