Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Speechify develops text-to-speech products that help make reading more accessible for learning. The Platform team is seeking a Software Engineer to design, build, and own backend APIs and services supporting payments, subscriptions, authentication, consumption tracking, analytics, and the public TTS API.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and own the APIs behind payments, subscriptions, auth, consumption tracking, and our public TTS API
- Take on services you didn't write and make them faster, cheaper, and harder to break
- Establish that a change is correct before it ships, and leave behind the checks that keep it correct after you've moved on
- Automate the parts of your role that shouldn't need a person, then go take on what that freed you up for
- Turn work you've done once into work the whole team can repeat
- Design B2B and enterprise integrations for customers building on top of us
- Work with product, mobile, and web to keep backend architecture ahead of where the product is going
Skills
- Proven backend experience in TS/Node (required)
- Direct experience with GCP; working knowledge of AWS, Azure, or another cloud
- A habit of giving away work you used to own, and something to show for the room it created
- A daily working setup with AI agents you can describe in detail — what runs unattended, what you review, and where you've decided it doesn't get to act alone
- The instinct to check a result against the system itself — logs, database state, the actual request — rather than against a summary of it
- Judgment about what not to build, and the ability to say plainly why you dropped it
- A preference for being corrected over being right
- Preferred: Docker and containerized deployments
- Preferred: deploying high-availability applications on Kubernetes
Benefits
- Bonus, depending on experience
- Stock, depending on experience
- 100% distributed setting
- An exceptional asynchronous work culture
- Autonomy, fostering focus and creativity
- The opportunity to have a significant impact in a revolutionary industry
- The privilege of working on a product that changes lives, particularly for those with learning differences like dyslexia, ADD, and more
- An active role at the intersection of artificial intelligence and audio – a rapidly evolving tech domain
