The role

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.

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.

Good to know if you are moving

Speechify's engineering roles are based in several Spanish cities (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Bilbao, Malaga), offering a chance to live outside the traditional Madrid/Barcelona tech hubs.
The company is a US startup with a fast-paced, product-driven culture, and English is the working language, easing the transition for international hires.
Open roles span core product engineering, iOS, Windows/Desktop, and data infrastructure, indicating a broad technical stack.
The company's product is consumer-facing and has a strong accessibility mission, which can be appealing for mission-driven engineers.
Spain offices are engineering-focused, meaning most relocation opportunities are for software engineers rather than non-technical roles.
