About Us

Volley, named one of Y Combinator's Top Companies, develops voice-controlled games and entertainment apps for Amazon Alexa, Google Home, mobile devices, and smart TVs. Our voice apps are world-class and attract millions of users every month.

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

Jeopardy - America's most popular game show
Song Quiz - a name-that-tune music trivia game
Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? - a quiz game to test your elementary-level knowledge
Bedtime Stories - a soothing, narrated skill to help you fall asleep

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

Volley believes in an inclusive workplace and is committed to building a team from a variety of backgrounds. We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, perform essential job functions, and receive the other benefits and privileges of employment.

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 occasional karaoke sessions in our brand new Hayes Valley office. If this sounds like fun (we promise it is), get in touch

Underrepresented candidates and candidates from nontraditional backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply
