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.
