Life at Riot

We strive to create a supportive, creative workplace where Rioters can focus on what matters most: players.

From champion-themed meeting rooms to PC cafes and arcades, Riot’s campuses immerse us in the player experience and enable us to team up and solve monumental challenges.

 

Great Place to Work

Rioters consistently rate Riot a great place to work in our internal Global Riot Survey as well as external surveys like Great Place to Work. 

 

Beyond Benefits

We offer a competitive array of employee benefits that go beyond the basics. We want Rioters to work hard, play their hearts out, and take time to recharge and find inspiration.
