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 Speechifys 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 Youll Do

• Collaborate with Speechifys Product Teams to scope projects, 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 faster loading and more intelligent parsing by designing efficient abstractions and improving our algorithms
• Ship cloud functions, lightweight backend services, and jobs using Kotlin

An Ideal Candidate Should Have

• Systems thinking: you design end-to-end solutions and value simplicity
• Speed: you generate ideas quickly and decide what can ship now versus what needs more time
• Focus: you can engage with a busy, remote, high-growth team or work hands-on as needed
• Collaboration: you can work with designers, marketers, and PMs in a constructive way
• Preferred Tech Stack:
  • Kotlin Multiplatform (Java experience acceptable, but role focuses on 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
• Opportunity to make a big impact in a transformative industry
• Competitive salaries, a friendly atmosphere, and a strong asynchronous culture
• Opportunity to work on a life-changing product used by millions
• Work on products that support people with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, low vision, concussions, autism, and more
• Work in one of the fastest growing tech sectors: the intersection of artificial intelligence and audio
