Riot engineers bring deep knowledge of specific technical areas but also value the opportunity to work in a variety of broader domains. As Software Engineers, we work with both new and current technology, creating innovative solutions to overcome high-volume obstacles and to deliver player value.
Riot Mobile is a personalized, always-on companion that connects players to the full Riot ecosystem—bridging in-game and out-of-game experiences to keep players engaged, informed, and ready to play. Designed as a player’s daily portal into Riot’s worlds, Riot Mobile helps millions of players stay connected to what matters most, from tailored news, patch notes, and esports to social experiences like cross-platform chat and lightweight coordination with friends. As a core surface for engagement beyond the PC or console, Riot Mobile ensures players have meaningful, game-enriching experiences wherever they are.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Riot Mobile team, you’ll build and scale a mobile platform that supports millions of players across Riot’s ecosystem. You’ll work across iOS and Android to develop features spanning personalization, social systems, and cross-game experiences, while owning multi-month technical efforts from discovery through delivery. You’ll collaborate with product, design, and engineering partners to solve ambiguous problems, make impactful technical decisions, and improve the quality and resilience of the platform. Riot Mobile is built with native code, Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), numerous Riot APIs, AWS Lambdas, some React, embedded multimedia and live streaming, small Spring Boot services, and Riot’s internal SDK.
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.

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.
