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.

Riot Visual Designers craft the best player experiences through their knowledge of systemic design, graphic design, interactivity, layout, typography, color theory, and illustration. Designers collaborate with cross disciplinary teams and act as both artistic and design problem solvers. They understand players and ask questions about the what, who, and how when solving for an interface or communication challenge.

As the Senior Visual Design Artist in the Shanghai studio in China, you will be responsible for all aspects of Visual Design of an early stage game. We need your help in producing assets of the highest quality for our players to immerse themselves in our world. You'll report to the Head of Product, China Game Studio and collaborate with other artists to establish the style of the game's user interface. You'll also work collaboratively with engineers, designers, and producers, and together will give new, delightful experiences to our players.

As a Rioter in China, you'll join a team of internationally and culturally diverse professionals that share our prioritization of player experience, rejection of convention and maniacal passion for gaming.

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.

Responsibilities:
• Shape UI/UX for the game, defining a direction that meets the creative goals and artistic direction of the project
• Create visually balanced and intuitive interfaces that show an excellent grasp of readability, hierarchy, platform and player behavior patterns
• Guide the planning of UI work, working with artists and designers to build on the creative vision
• Collaborate with art and game design to mock-up UX wireframes that meet the goals for player interaction and visual design
• Create assets through each stage of development, taking ideas from concept to in-game implementation
• Use deep knowledge of systemic design, graphic design, interactivity, layout, typography, color theory, and illustration to create seamless player experience
• Extend themes throughout the project, establishing style guides and conventions
• Establish the quality bar for your discipline

Required Qualifications:
• 6+ years of professional experience as a Visual Designer, UI Designer, or UI Artist
• Experience in developing at least one game from early stage to launch
• Experience working with Unreal and/or other relevant game engine experience
• Experience with Figma
• Expert knowledge of Adobe CC products including Photoshop and Illustrator

Desired Qualifications:
• Knowledge of the game development pipeline including optimization, localization, implementation, especially for mobile games
• Experience in a secondary area such as motion graphics, illustration, animation, or modeling
• Experience in the printing industry

Don't forget to include a resume and cover letter. We receive a lot of applications, but we'll notice a fun, well-written intro that shows us you take play seriously.

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players. We will be looking at your past studies, experience, and your personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about the experiences of players, this could be the role for you!
Our Perks:

Riot Games fosters a player and workplace experience that values teamwork embodied by the Summoner's Code and Community Code. Our culture embraces differences as a strength, and our values are the guiding principles for how we approach work. We are committed to putting diversity and inclusion (D&I) at the center of everything we do, and promoting a fair and collaborative culture where Rioters treat one another with dignity and respect. We encourage you to read more about our value of thriving together and our ongoing work to build the most inclusive company in gaming.
