Job Details

Riot Games was established in 2006 by entrepreneurial gamers who believe that player-focused game development can result in great games. In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends to critical and player acclaim. As the most played video game in the world, over 100 million play every month. Players form the foundation of our community and it’s for them that we continue to evolve and improve the League of Legends experience.

We’re looking for humble but ambitious, razor-sharp professionals who can teach us a thing or two. We promise to return the favor. Like us, you take play seriously; you’re passionate about games. We embrace those who see things differently, aren’t afraid to experiment, and who have a healthy disregard for constraints.

That's where you come in.

As a Technical Writer on the Wild Rift Shanghai team, you will help shape the quality of all player-facing text. Your work will ensure clear and engaging communication that improves players’ understanding of game features and gameplay.

  • Review and refine the in-App text provided by designers to ensure it is clear, accurate, and engaging. You will focus on improving the language, maintaining consistent style and terminology, and ensuring the text meets the needs of our players.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to identify areas for improvement in the text production process. Collaborate with project managers and software engineers to develop automations that reduce manual work and improve efficiency.
  • Collaborate with the localization team to improve the quality and consistency of text in both Mandarin and English. Assist in refining translation guidelines and maintaining a shared terminology library.
  • Connect the designer team and the localization team to streamline the process of addressing localization issues. Provide timely feedback on key issues, such as IP compliance and cultural sensitivity, to ensure these are addressed early in the process.

Required Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of experience as a technical writer, game writer, or in a similar role, preferably in the gaming or tech industries.
  • Excellent writing and editing skills with a keen eye for detail.
  • Fluency in Mandarin and English.
  • Experience in managing content workflows is a plus.

Desired Qualifications:

  • Production of deliverables unerringly on schedule with the highest quality possible
