Product Engineer - Voice

Volley develops voice-controlled games and entertainment apps for Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Our voice apps are world-class and attract millions of users every month. We’re a 35-person team based in San Francisco.

We’ve created several of the top experiences for voice-controlled devices, including:

We believe voice control will be the main way people access entertainment in their bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and cars, and our goal is to build a destination for interactive audio entertainment, as Netflix did for television.

We're seeking an experienced Product Engineer to build voice-controlled experiences and supporting infrastructure. The products you create will be deployed to a wide variety of devices, including smart speakers, smart TVs, and smartphones.

You should be a JavaScript (and/or TypeScript) engineer who is excited by the idea of working on the frontier of an emerging software paradigm. Ideally, you should have previous experience developing and shipping great consumer software products or games.

At Volley you will:

-- Work on products that reach millions of active users

-- Take advantage of our powerful internal engine to build and iterate quickly, focusing on writing logic, not boilerplate

-- Develop best-in-class voice-controlled products that are social, engaging, and fun to play

-- Collaborate with UX experts, designers, and data analysts to deliver products quickly and effectively

Things you may have done before

• Built consumer-facing mobile apps or games at scale
• Operated in environments with fast development-cycles focused on rapid product iteration
• Been part of a high performing engineering team
• Worked with audio, voice, or other emerging technologies

Must haves

• 3+ years professional coding experience
• Experience working with Node.js / JavaScript (TypeScript is a plus!)
• Passion for entertainment and/or games

Our software stack

• Node.js
• Typescript
• AWS (Lambda, Fargate, Dynamo)
• Terraform
• Firebase
• Alexa Skills Kit
• Google Actions SDK

Work well, play hard. We take pride in our work and strive to build great products for our millions of users, but we also recognize the importance of work-life balance and a healthy lifestyle. You may have to take care of things on weekends or late at night, but not often.

We're a small but quickly growing team that truly enjoys working together! We love coming together over Zoom happy hours, the funny and strange in Slack #random, and come September, occasional karaoke sessions in our brand new Hayes Valley office. If this sounds like fun (we promise it is), get in touch!
