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.

At Riot, we believe Quality is a set of values, practices, and behaviors that inform every part of the development process. By honing our craft of quality and demonstrating cross-discipline partnerships, we help Riot sustainably craft excellent experiences for players, globally.

QA Engineers are champions for quality, focused on testing to ensure best in practice . We create test plans and evaluate both the functional and subjective caliber of projects for a Riot development team. As every project is different, we listen and improve, to put the players and their team first, and to solve ambiguous and complex problems. Most importantly, it's our passion and love for quality that ensures that QA Engineers help us level up and improve our processes, giving players the best experiences while playing our games.

As a Senior QA Engineer – Compliance & Release, you’ll lead the quality efforts for Wild Rift’s platform releases. You’ll shape how Riot handles platform certification,compliance reviews, and release readiness, owning the QA strategy that ensures players get a seamless experience — whether they’re downloading a patch, launching the game, or engaging with live service content.

You’ll collaborate across teams to define testing standards, coach others on execution, and act as a key stakeholder for release quality. This role is pivotal in protecting player trust, and will challenge you to think globally, systemically, and strategically.

To reinforce Riot’s collaborative culture in our China offices, we’ve decided to do away with the constraints of traditional hierarchical title structures that are more common in the region. Titles don’t really matter at any of Riot’s offices, but we chose to take this extra step in our China offices to foster a space where teamwork thrives. We believe that removing this constraint will promote individual autonomy, ownership, collaboration, and a focus on results. We promise you won’t need a title at Riot to make an impact.
