As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll leverage your expertise in building large-scale, highly-available systems to create an efficient operational ecosystem that is necessary to eliminate any delays in identifying or preventing the impact to the player experience. You'll be building tools to maintain an accurate and consistent interpretation of the information obtained from dozens of internal monitoring systems and processes. You'll partner closely with service and game teams to help improve the observability of their services. Availability, automation and reliability will be your watchwords. You'll report to the team's Engineering Manager.

Responsibilities:
• Lead the creation of Riot wide standards and best practices for alerting and monitoring
• Create and operate tools and services that help achieve operational excellence
• Communicate at a technical level with other development teams to help improve their services
• Drive collaboration and alignment with multiple internal and globally dispersed teams
• Characterize and identify system problems both within operations as well as our tooling and services
• Mentor software engineers through code and technical design reviews
• Identify and propose fixes for systemic issues
• Provide ongoing maintenance, support and enhancements in existing platforms

Required Qualifications:
• 4+ years of experience building, deploying and operating features end-to-end within an existing large system
• Experience driving software engineering best practices within the team, including design reviews, coding standards, code reviews, tools improvements, source control management, build processes, and testing
• Understand distributed systems, microservices, and software at high scale
• Comfortable using whichever language/framework is necessary for the job

Desired Qualifications:
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with ReactJS, Python and Java
• Experience with AWS (or comparable cloud environments)
• Familiarity with Site Reliability best practices

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and choices that focus on your fellow Rioters, who are the customers of your work. Being a dedicated fan of games is not necessary for this position!
