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 2025 Design Award winner for Inclusivity.  

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.

• Own and optimize CI/CD test pipelines (e.g., Jenkins), focusing on speed, reliability, and scalability
• Identify systemic issues (flakiness, instability, slow feedback loops) and implement structural solutions, not patches
• Design and maintain test data management and environment orchestration strategies
• Define, implement, and evolve quality gates and metrics (coverage, reliability, execution time, signal quality)
• Support teams in debugging complex failures by providing observability and diagnostic tooling
• Explore and integrate AI-driven testing capabilities to improve productivity and test robustness
• Mentor engineers and promote a quality engineering mindset across the organization
