Riot Data Scientists combine their wide technical expertise across data processing, automation, machine learning ("ML"), artificial intelligence ("AI"), and experiment design to inform decisions and develop data-powered products. As a Staff Data Scientist, you’ll dive into projects with multi-game impact. You work at a cross team scope, guiding product vision, informing technical designs, and building datasets and models for our most important data applications. You lead by example, but you also lead by leading – you achieve results while elevating others' data science craft.
As a Staff Data Scientist on the Emerging Games Studios Data team, you will answer the question “How can data help us deliver the best possible player experience, at launch and beyond?” You will use pre-production datasets and simulations to help designers answer their most nuanced questions. You will build production quality ML models for skill estimation, game understanding, ecommerce use cases, and more. You will collaborate with producers, game designers, analysts, and engineers – on game teams and in partnership with shared platform teams. You will report directly to the Emergings Games Studios Data Lead.
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 the experiences of players, this could be the role for you!
