Riot Games | http://www.riotgames.com/careers | Los Angeles | Full Time TL/DR: I'm looking for any engineer that has mastery of CS fundamentals and loves games. Junior, senior, doesn't matter. What matters is that you're smart, knowledgeable about CS, and incredibly passionate about games. Message me via jmazer@riotgames.com if you want to chat. I search for people who are passionate about games. Not the kinds that just dabble, and who sometimes reminisce about that time that they played Mario back in the day. I look for the kinds that can literally count their play time in years rather than days. Notice - I'm not talking about League... That's because R&D is focused on making Riot's NEXT game. We're looking at several different spaces and we need talent with as varied a palette of interests as our development interests. I'm not only looking for industry veterans. If you come from a Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc., and want to keep your standard of living, work on games, and also keep a high level of stability, Riot is a great place to consider making an industry change. Reasons you might want to chat: 1.) Riot believes in delivering genre-defining content that delights players. The R&D group's charter is to flesh out and eventually ship the game(s) that put the 's' in Riot Games. If you want to build new stuff this is the place to be. 2.) We’ve only got a few R&D projects going at a time, with a handful of people on each team. Joining the team now means playing a seminal role in developing and leading the downstream organization. 3.) Riot landed as #13 on Fortune's top 100 companies to work for. 4.) We’re exploring some familiar genres and some experimental ones, but all of them are genres we expect core gamers love. It's likely you'll be excited by at least one of our current projects.
