Desired Qualifications:

  • Familiarity with software development best practices like unit testing, functional testing, integration testing, CI/CD

  • Knowledge and/or experience with scripting languages

  • Experience using game engines (e.g. Unity, Unreal)

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players. We will certainly be looking at your past studies and experience, but for this role, we also look for dedicated people with a personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about the experiences of players, this could be the role for you!

Important Dates:

Applications will be open from now till June 7th.

If your application proceeds to the next round you will receive an online coding exercise invitation from June 1st till June 12th.

Interview period: June 17th - July 26th

Our Perks:

  • Riot Internships are paid, and interns will also receive superannuation

  • Daily lunch, snacks and fruits provided in the office

  • Access to company events

  • Paid time off

Riot Games fosters a player and workplace experience that values teamwork embodied by the Summoner's Code and Community Code. Our culture embraces differences as a strength, and our values are the guiding principles for how we approach work. We are committed to putting diversity and inclusion (D&I) at the center of everything we do and promoting a fair and collaborative culture where Rioters treat one another with dignity and respect.
