Riot Research Scientists combine their wide technical expertise across data processing, automation, machine learning ("ML"), artificial intelligence ("AI"), and experimental design to inform decisions and develop robust research prototypes and inform data powered products.
The Technology Research team performs applied research to accelerate the pace of building amazing player experiences at Riot Games. As a Research Scientist Intern on Tech Research, you’ll contribute to a research team whose focus is to leverage generative AI to augment, evolve, and even revolutionize game development pipelines and/or player experiences. To this end, you and your team will track the latest research in relevant areas, work closely with teams to prioritize the most promising research, build prototypes to highlight the value of new capabilities, and in certain cases partner with game teams to create robust and efficient production versions of your prototypes.
Responsibilities:
Partner with game teams and creators to shape the future of gameplay through next-generation technologiesCollaborate with designers and engineers to prototype novel gameplay systems that blend player expression, AI behavior, and dynamic world interactionInvestigate how large language models and simulation technologies can enable emergent, player-driven gameplay experiences
No requirement for relevant working experience
No management responsibility
