Staff Software Engineer, Enterprise AI

Preferred

• Deep practical knowledge of retrieval-augmented generation and semantic search, including embedding and reranking models, retrieval design, grounding, citations, and evaluation.
• Experience with agent platforms (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or comparable), vector databases, and multi-agent orchestration patterns.
• Working familiarity with Python and lakehouse/data-catalog concepts (e.g., Databricks, Unity Catalog), enough to collaborate effectively with the data engineering team, without needing to own pipeline build-out.
• Experience shipping an internal AI product from scratch as part of a small, fast-moving team, comfortable with a "scrappy MVP, iterate" delivery style rather than a fully-specified roadmap.
• 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!
• Riot focuses on work/life balance, shown by our open paid time off policy and other perks such as flexible work schedules. We offer medical, dental, and life insurance, parental leave for you, your spouse/domestic partner, and children, and a 401k with company match. Check out our benefits pages for more information.
• At Riot Games, we put players first. That mission drives every decision in our quest to create games and experiences that make it better to be a player. Whether you’re working directly on a new player-facing experience or you’re supporting the company as a whole, everyone at Riot is part of our mission. 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.
