Riot Games
ApplyRiot engineers bring deep knowledge of specific technical areas but also value the opportunity to work in a variety of broader domains. As an Engineering Manager, you’ll guide an engineering team through all the phases of the software development and operations lifecycle. You’ll also serve as a people manager, mentor, and coach for the engineers, overseeing performance management, growth opportunities, and accountability.
The Core Game Loop owns services that power the player experience while they are in game and deliver data to downstream services after a game is completed. This includes game provisioning, game data delivery, and services that power leaderboards and match history. By concentrating expertise in game platforms, we are able to offer robust, scalable features to all current and future Riot games. As a Manager, Software Engineering on the Core Game Loop team, you will partner with the teams that create every Riot game, central technology teams, and teams in Tencent to ensure we are making excellent decisions, upholding a high quality bar, and operating efficiently in service of those players. You'll identify opportunities to centralize functionality and architect solutions that enable scalability and reliability worldwide. You will report to the Senior Engineering Manager of the Game Foundations org within the Publishing Platform.
For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes your fellow Rioters, who are the customers of your work. Being a dedicated fan of games is not necessary for this position!

And just like in our games, we’re better when we work together. Our goal is to create collaborative teams where you are empowered to bring your unique perspective everyday. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to work, we’re looking forward to your application.
