About this role


### Key Responsibilities

* Design and develop novel AI-driven product experiences and user interfaces on the web
* Build scalable backend systems and debug complex streaming issues
* Own the entire development cycle of features from conception to production
* Collaborate with product, design, and machine learning teams to deliver high-quality products

### What We're Looking For

### Why Work at Speak

* Join a fantastic, tight-knit team at the right time: we're growing very quickly, we've raised our Series B and additional extensions from some of the top investors in the valley, and we've achieved product-market fit in our initial markets.
