About the role
About Us
Weekend (formerly Volley) is the leading developer of voice AI games for smart TVs. Our games attract millions of users every month, with family favorites like Jeopardy!, Song Quiz, CoComelon: Sing and Play with JJ, and Wheel of Fortune.
We believe voice interfaces will become the main way people access entertainment in their living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and cars. We’re building a bundled subscription product similar to Netflix or Spotify for the emerging category of “AI-powered games.”
Weekend was founded by Max Child and James Wilsterman in 2024. The founders went Y Combinator in 2018 and landed a spot on the 2022 YC Top Companies List. We’re a quickly-growing team headquartered in Union Square, San Francisco.
Role Summary
The Hub team owns Weekend's bundled gaming experience - the first thing users see across all TV platforms. We build and maintain the features that shape how players discover, adopt, and stick with our games, from the core product experience to growth experiments that move business metrics. In this role, you'll work across the full stack of a consumer-facing product alongside product and design partners. It's a high-impact position for engineers who want real ownership over what ships - and who thrive at the intersection of engineering, product, and data.
What You'll Do at Weekend
- Build and improve game features using TypeScript and React for Jeopardy or Song Quiz
- Deliver polished game experiences streamed to players via AWS GameLift Streams
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and participate in code reviews
- Ensure cross-device compatibility across supported platforms
- Work across the full game development lifecycle, from prototyping through production-quality delivery
