Software Engineer - Infrastructure Platform, Developer Connections

Riot Games was founded in 2006 by Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill with the intent to change the way video games are made and supported for players. In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends to worldwide acclaim. The game has since gone on to become the most played PC game in the world and a key driver of the explosive growth of esports. Players are the foundation of our community and it’s for them we continue to evolve and improve the League of Legends experience. Riot Games is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA and has 23 offices worldwide.

The Role

Developer Connections ensures that developers are free to innovate for players while not reinventing the wheel. It does this by building Riot-wide technologies and standards that optimize the entire software development lifecycle. We take poorly owned spaces and turn them into first class offerings.

• Contribute to the development of our collection of backend services that enable teams to ship games across various platforms
• Create and operate tools and services that improve engineering efficiency across Riot
• Provide ongoing maintenance, support, and enhancements in existing platforms

• Experience with some of the following: microservices architecture, client/service application architecture, web application design and architecture, web services development, API/SDK architecture and development
• Familiarity with tooling like Terraform, Docker and Jenkins

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and choices that focus on your fellow Rioters, who are the customers of your work. Being a dedicated fan of games is not necessary for this position!

Riot has a focus on work/life balance, shown by our open paid time off policy, in addition to other perks such as flexible work schedules. We offer medical, dental, and life insurance, parental leave for you, your spouse/domestic partner and children and a 401k with company match. Check out our benefits pages for more information.
