Senior Software Engineer, Core Experiences - Fullerton, USA
Fullerton, USA 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, reduce scope for faster customer feedback, navigate integration/UX tradeoffs for 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 systems with a belief that simplicity adds value. Speed: you generate ideas quickly and decide what can ship now vs. what needs more time. Focus: in a busy, remote startup, you know when to engage and when to work hands-down. Collaboration: you can inspire, negotiate with, and align with designers, marketers, and PMs. Preferred Tech Stack:
Kotlin Multiplatform (Java experience is OK 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 and laid-back atmosphere, and a commitment to building a great asynchronous culture. Opportunity to work on a life-changing product used by millions. 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. Salary The United States Based salary range for this role is: 140,000-200,000 USD/Year + Bonus + Stock depending on experience. How to Apply Think you’re a good fit for this job?
