Full Job Description
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.

This is a front-end-leaning full-stack role. You'll spend most of your time building user-facing features in TypeScript and React, working closely with Product and Design to shape what gets built and how. You'll also own backend work where it connects to what users experience, but the center of gravity here is the interface, not the infrastructure.

It's a high-impact position for engineers who care about how users feel, not just how systems scale, and who thrive at the intersection of engineering, product, and data.

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.

What You'll Do at Weekend
  • Partner closely with Product to refine requirements, write technical specs, and deliver features from concept to launch.
  • Collaborate with Design to create delightful, intuitive experiences for users across TV, mobile, and web platforms.
  • Own features end-to-end, including the backend services they depend on, with a primary focus on the user-facing layer.
  • Use data to validate what you ship, measure impact, and inform what to build next
  • Proactively identify risks, surface blockers early, and shape engineering decisions with your team.
  • Contribute to code reviews and maintain a high standard of code quality, architecture, and performance.
We're Excited About You Because You Have
  • You have 6+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent on user-facing products.
  • You have strong TypeScript and React skills and have shipped production-grade frontend work you're proud of.
  • You've worked directly with Product and Design partners, not just received specs to implement.
  • You've owned features end-to-end, from scoping and tradeoffs through launch and iteration.
  • You make data-informed decisions and know how to instrument and measure what you ship.
  • You're comfortable with backend systems where they connect to what users experience.
  • You operate well in ambiguous environments and don't need a fully-defined problem to start making progress.
Bonus Points
  • Experience with analytics and experimentation platforms (Amplitude, Segment, Statsig, LaunchDarkly).
  • Familiarity with conversion funnels, user journeys, and subscription business models.
  • Background in gaming, entertainment, or other high-engagement consumer products.
  • Experience working in or transitioning from game engine environments (Unity, C++, Unreal) -- we care about your instincts, not your current stack.
  • Familiarity with attribution and marketing tools (AppsFlyer, Branch, or similar).
Our Stack
  • TypeScript, React, Node.js, CI/CD pipelines, Git, Kubernetes
The Hiring Process
  • Stage 1 (Preliminary Video Call): with a member of our recruitment team.
  • Stage 2 (Engineering Panel): with various members of our engineering team.
  • Stage 3 (Onsite Interview): with various partners and team members.
  • Stage 4(Founder Chat) with our Founders.

As an AI company, we're a huge believer in the value of AI tools. That being said, the interview process is intended as a conversation - we want to get to know you and your experience. Please refrain from using AI tools during all Weekend interviews unless otherwise specified.

  • We offer unlimited paid time off (enforced 2-week minimum), 16 paid holidays, 40 hours of bereavement leave, and unlimited sick days.
