Potential Responsibilities:


  • Collaborate closely with other developers to create player-facing features for League, TFT, or VALORANT
  • Build back-end services to allow our games to take advantage of shared social, client and platform features
  • Write code to handle processing real time data of our various game teams
  • Learn to operate services on a global scale for millions of players 
  • Build and maintain SDKs and APIs that are used by internal game customers to power their games


Required Qualifications:


  • Graduating in the 2026 calendar year 
  • Currently enrolled in a Computer Science, Engineering, or Technology related degree program
  • Knowledge of data structures and algorithms
  • Coding experience with an object-oriented programming (OOP) language (e.g. Java, C++, C#)
  • Available to work full-time hours for the 12 week internship duration
  • Eligible to work in the country that you reside in during this remote program
  • Minimum GPA of 2.5


Desired Qualifications:


  • Experience as a software developer, including internships or part-time 
  • Experience with software development life cycle (SDLC) and agile development practices
  • Familiarity with software development best practices like unit testing, functional testing, integration testing, continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD)
  • Portfolio or website link (e.g github) with collection of original work and/or projects
  • Experience working on a video game or related project


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!


Applications close October 31st, 2024 at 11:59pm PT 


Our Perks:


Riot Internships are paid, and interns can also participate in our 401(k) plan.
