As a Senior Software Engineer on the Production AI team, you will design, build, and maintain AI-powered systems that impact multiple teams and product areas, while defining policy and guiding technology selection.

• Partner with QA teams to create AI-enabled test automation frameworks.
• Help define best practices for AI model deployment, versioning, and governance to ensure compliance with Riot standards and industry regulations.
• Form cross-disciplinary partnerships and collaborate effectively with data scientists, product managers, designers, and game teams to integrate AI solutions that elevate the player experience and empower internal processes.
• Mentor other engineers in your areas of expertise
Required Qualifications:
• 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with demonstrated work on AI/ML projects
• Proven track record of shipping large-scale software solutions
• Professional experience working with cloud computing and cloud technologies

• Familiarity working in an agile environment
• Experience collaborating across departments and disciplines to create solutions
• Strong communication skills
Desired Qualifications:
• Comprehensive knowledge of current and emerging AI technologies and tools
• Deep practical experience with machine learning and LLMs
For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players. We will be looking at your past studies, experience, and your personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about players' experiences, this could be your role!
