About The Position
The Insights discipline helps empower Rioters' decision-making to be more data-informed. We're an interdisciplinary group of scientists, consultants, and strategists from all sorts of backgrounds who join together to represent and advocate for players around the world. We believe that illuminating the globally diverse experiences, behaviors, and needs of players is critical to Riot living up to our player-focused mission. We're a group united by our love of games, science, and helping others succeed. As a Researcher II, you’ll join the Insights discipline – the group of researchers, analysts, data scientists, and strategists responsible for solving problems and executing analyses that enable Rioters to make difficult decisions with confidence. You’ll be part of an interdisciplinary team and work closely with Rioters from other disciplines (designers, artists, producers, etc.) to conduct studies and analyses that will inform the features, systems, and experiences of our products. Your applied or experimental research background coupled with your deep understanding of data will ensure that you’re an effective advocate for players and can provide strategic guidance about their wants, needs, and behaviors. As a Researcher II reporting to the Research Manager on VALORANT, you will be working with the Core Game team, supporting the development of VALORANT’s core gameplay including Agents, Maps, Modes, Narrative, and more. You will identify and execute on research opportunities to support the development of new gameplay features and tracking/improvement of existing systems -- from prototyping through launch and live service. Additionally, you will take a core role in building short-term and long-term strategy for VALORANT in collaboration with other disciplines, especially product and design. This role emphasizes a user researcher skillset -- including surveys, player labs, and market research -- to shape core game features for VALORANT. If you’re looking to leverage your research toolkit and collaborate with designers and product owners to craft resonant multiplatform experiences, this is an excellent opportunity for you.
