Software Engineer, macOS
Contribute to an award-winning macOS app, join a remote-first team, drive accessible product innovation, and earn market-competitive pay and ownership.
This Software Engineer, macOS Core Product role at Speechify offers a unique blend of autonomy and impact. The position promises market-aligned compensation with a bonus and equity, and you’ll work in a collaborative, remote-first company packed with experts from top tech brands. It’s a mid-level, full-time, permanent job that prizes speed, ownership and innovation.
Responsibilities and Daily Life
Your daily tasks will revolve around building and scaling the core macOS app. You’ll write, test and ship production-quality Swift and SwiftUI code, influence architectural decisions, and ensure the product remains reliable for millions. Communicating with cross-functional teams like design, product and engineering is part of the role’s DNA, as is keeping an eye on code quality and continuous improvement.
The aim is to enhance accessibility and user experience, at scale. Lean decision-making, the ability to iterate quickly, and a strategic product mindset are all essentials for success. Regular participation in planning and roadmap meetings is required, along with hands-on collaboration in a distributed team.
The Pros
Speechify offers a positive culture where initiative counts more than titles—leadership is earned by impact. The remote-working structure drives flexibility and balances work with life. You’ll create products used worldwide, gaining genuinely meaningful experience and ownership in a flat organisation.
Exposure to CI/CD tools and cross-functional teamwork ensures professional development. The impact you have can be felt throughout the company, not just in code but in user outcomes too.
The Cons
The fast-moving environment may not suit everyone; it’s not ideal if you favour routine and predictability. Expectations around delivering quickly and handling architectural complexity add pressure, especially without a rigid hierarchy to lean on.
Remote team dynamics require strong self-motivation and independence, which can prove challenging for some engineers who prefer office environments or closer supervision.
Urteil
If you thrive in collaborative, high-autonomy teams and enjoy building products that make a difference, this role delivers. The rewards of equity, remote-first culture and creative freedom outweigh the speed and responsibility required. Driven engineers with a passion for accessibility and great software will find much to like.
