Job Description

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 through 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

Weekend is looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter to own end-to-end technical hiring across our fastest-growing teams. You'll partner closely with leadership to source and close high-quality technical talent, maintain a best-in-class candidate experience, and bring a thoughtful talent advisor mindset to every role you own. This is a strategic partnership role at a lean, high-velocity startup where every hire matters.

This job opportunity offers a hybrid work arrangement, and we are specifically seeking candidates who are comfortable with on-site attendance in our Bay Area office 3 times per week and are either currently residing in or near the Bay Area or willing to relocate for on-site work.

  • Own full-cycle technical recruiting for open roles across technical teams.

  • Develop and maintain a robust talent network to proactively build pipelines.

  • Curate a high-touch, exceptional candidate experience at every stage of the process — from first outreach to offer accepted.

  • Serve as a talent advisor to your hiring partners — advising on role scoping, candidate market, and hiring decisions.

Must Have

  • 4–6 years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with at least 3+ YOE in-house at a startup .

  • A track record of sourcing and closing senior technical talent in competitive markets.

  • Deep familiarity with technical roles — you can hold your own in conversations about engineering stacks, hiring bar, and team structure.

  • Experience partnering with senior leadership on role scope, talent mapping, and overall team structure.

  • Comfortable with data — you understand and own hiring metrics and use insights to iterate on process.

  • Proficiency with Ashby (or comparable ATS), LinkedIn Recruiter, and sourcing tools.

Nice to Have

  • Experience recruiting in gaming, AI/ML, or other niche technical verticals.

  • An existing network of senior technical talent you can tap immediately.

  • Warm-funnel engagement or employer branding experience.

  • Familiarity with quality-of-hire metrics and how to define them in partnership with leadership.
