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. Whether you're in Rio, Seoul or Moscow, you can find an excited and engaged community of League players. Delivering content to a global audience of millions of players whilst also building new games affords Riot's Engineering discipline with a mountain of exciting and technically complex challenges. That's where you come in.

Riot Engineers bring deep knowledge of specific technical areas but also value the chance to work in many of broader domains. As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll also dive into projects that focus on team cohesiveness and cross-team objectives. You’ll lead without authority and provide other engineers with a clear illustration of extraordinary engineering.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Game Flow Services team, you’ll report into the team’s Engineering Manager in our office in St Louis, Missouri. Your work will help define the fundamental core of how League of Legends develops and operates the game. We aim to deliver a high quality of service to players in all our regions and make sure our working environment is the best in class when it comes to happiness, efficiency, and nimbleness. You’ll support and improve the reliability of our backend systems, including the build, deployment, and asset pipelines that touch nearly every team within the League of Legends organization. In addition to implementing new service features, you will also be focused on building systems and tools to make those services easier to operate. This includes databases, build & deployment tools, containers, queues, several key microservices, caches, telemetry systems, and reporting tools.
