About The Position

At Riot, our mission is to make it better to be a player. That mission shows up everywhere we design. From the games themselves to the platforms that connect players to each other and to Riot. Designing for a global audience across multiple games and devices comes with real complexity. Our User Experience discipline helps turn that complexity into experiences players actually care about. UX Designers at Riot work in high-scope, ambiguous spaces. They’re trusted to shape product direction through thoughtful, player-centered design.
As a Senior User Experience Designer on the Riot Mobile team within Publishing Platform, you’ll help shape how players experience Riot beyond active gameplay. Riot Mobile is a core channel for highly engaged players and the broader Riot ecosystem. In this role, you’ll lead UX design for Riot Mobile experiences spanning multiple features and systems. You’ll focus on creating cohesive, end-to-end experiences for Riot Mobile. From early concepts through development and iteration, you’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Research, and Visual Design to ship meaningful, scalable experiences for players. You’ll report to the UX Manager for Channel Experiences on Publishing Platform.
