Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Speechify as an employer.

What you need

  • Proven backend experience in TS/Node
  • 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
  • The instinct to check a result against the system itself
  • Judgment about what not to build, and the ability to say plainly why you dropped it

Nice to have

  • Docker and containerized deployments
  • Deploying high-availability applications on Kubernetes

What you get

  • A dynamic environment where your contributions shape the company and its products
  • A team that values innovation, intuition, and drive
  • Autonomy, fostering focus and creativity
  • The opportunity to have a significant impact in a revolutionary industry
  • Competitive compensation, a welcoming atmosphere, and a commitment to an exceptional asynchronous work culture
  • The privilege of working on a product that changes lives, particularly for those with learning differences

Worth weighing

  • Salary range provided is quite broad, which may indicate flexibility or uncertainty in compensation expectations.
  • The role emphasizes a flat organization with no separate ladder for growth, which may not suit everyone.
  • The interview process includes a take-home assessment, which could be time-consuming for candidates.
