Senior Software Engineer,  Riot Client - Publishing Platform

Riot’s Enterprise Technology organization ensures Rioters have what they need to unlock their full potential, from secure and compliant systems to efficient business platforms that keep the company running smoothly. Enterprise Systems improves how Enterprise operates so Rioters can focus on building magic for players instead of navigating broken processes and fragmented systems.
As Senior Manager, Enterprise Engineering &amp; Process Excellence, you will lead two horizontal capabilities that the rest of Enterprise Systems depends on: Enterprise Software Engineering, which designs, builds, and operates new technical capabilities for Enterprise, and Business Process Excellence, which assesses, redesigns, instruments, and continuously improves enterprise processes.

<li>Partner deeply with engineering leads to ensure platform solutions are robust, scalable, and seamlessly integrated into developer workflows</li>
<li>Broker across the seam with central tech team partners, representing VALORANT's needs into shared platforms and negotiating what's owned where</li>
<li>Translate empathy for internal developers into infrastructure and tooling that solves genuine pain points; champion data-informed decisions</li>
<li>Champion AI-augmented ways of working: bring agentic tooling into the PM craft to compress cycle time and model what modern product management looks like for Foundations</li>
</ul>
<h2>Required Qualifications:&nbsp;</h2>

<li>Proven ability to operate at a Principal level, navigating organizational complexity to drive outcomes without direct authority</li>
<li>Strong technical background (CS degree or equivalent experience) sufficient to credibly debate tradeoffs with engineering leads</li>
<li>Experience translating open-ended or ambiguous technical capabilities into concrete product roadmaps with defined milestones and success metrics</li>
<li>Track record owning platform, developer-tools, or systems products with internal customers</li>
<li>Experience integrating agentic AI tooling into the product-management craft, using agents to shorten the loop from insight to execution</li>
</ul>
<h2>Desired Qualifications:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Experience with developer experience / platform-as-a-product domains, including internal platforms, SDKs, or CI/CD tooling</li>
<li>Experience operating across the studio/central-tech boundary, or in a shared-infrastructure org serving multiple teams</li>
<li>Hands-on familiarity with Unreal Engine and the Unreal Editor, VALORANT's engine and the primary environment its developers work in</li>
