Mission

Speechify is the leading AI voice company in the world.  

• Our AI text-to-speech app has over 30M users and ranks #1 in the App Store. 
• We’ve built the largest AI reader web app and Chrome Extension in history. 
• We have over 250,000 5-star reviews. 
• Everyday, we get messages from users who tell us Speechify changed their lives.
• Our senior engineering team is mostly ex-Amazon and ex-startup founders.

• We have innovated in AI across all parts of our voice model – our latency, language selection, emotional controllability, voice quality, voice cloning ability, etc. are best-in-class and proven in our B2C applications at scale

Alongside our leading AI reader app, we have built two new businesses – our AI voice studio and dubbing SaaS offering, and our AI voice API, which allows third party developers to build AI voice into their products. 

Overview

We believe that every business in the future will use AI voice in some way, either to supercharge existing functions like customer support or sales, or provide new user experiences in AI voice-enabled coaching, therapy, healthcare, education, etc. 

Over the last eight years, we’ve built best-in-class AI voice models to power our own B2C and B2B applications. Now, we’re making out models available through an API for any developer or enterprise to build their own AI voice based experiences. Our existing AI voice partners include businesses across several industries, including healthcare, automotives and IoT, education, healthcare, consumer software, telecommunications, customer support and sales, etc. 

We’re looking for someone hungry to help us build out our GTM motion for our AI voice API. You’ll identify verticals for us to sell our voice API, help us build up our prospecting engine, develop a strategy for repeatable sales, and ultimately own revenue targets for our AI voice API.
