Growing up, Cliff's dad would read him Harry Potter because he couldn't do it himself. Cliff's dad was his hero. But without reading, Cliff couldn't become the person he wanted to be. So, he learned to code and created Speechify to read books to himself. Today, nearly 200 people around the globe work on Speechify in a 100% distributed setting - Speechify has no office. These include frontend and backend engineers, AI research scientists, and others from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, leading PhD programs like Stanford, high growth startups like Revolut, Stripe, and Bolt, and many founders of their own companies. Programming languages across Speechify include React, Typescript, NodeJS, Kotlin, Python, and Go. We'd love to meet you! Please apply here: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/speechify.
