The mission of Speechify is to make sure that reading is never a barrier to learning.
Speechify’s text-to-speech products help millions of people turn reading material — PDFs, books, Google Docs, news articles, websites — into audio so they can read faster, read more, and remember more. Our products include the iOS app, Android App, Mac App, Chrome Extension, and Web App. Speechify has been recognized by Google and Apple for its Chrome Extension and App of the Day respectively. We operate in a 100% distributed setting with no office, and our team includes engineers, AI researchers, and others from industry-leading tech companies and academia.
We are a flat, fast-paced organization where excellence in technical skills and delivery is valued. Strong work ethic, clear communication, and a winning mindset are paramount. Our interview process includes several technical interviews completed within about one week.
