As a Quality Assurance Engineer on the Developer Experiences team, you will own and evolve the QA process for your team. You will partner closely with software engineers, producers, and project managers to deliver tools that enable Rioters to work more effectively, resulting in better experiences for Players around the world.

Guided by Riot's Test Policy, you will help ensure quality is built in at every stage of the software development life cycle, from design through release. You will collaborate with your team to identify smarter, more efficient solutions to everyday problems, continuously improving quality, velocity, and delivery.

In this role, you will also work closely with other QA professionals, often in a remote and cross-team environment, to share knowledge, align on best practices, and get great work shipped.

Responsibilities

• Execute and own quality activities, including test planning, test execution, coordination, defect management, and risk assessment, to ensure high-quality, efficient, and effective outcomes for your team and closely related teams. Specifically, you will:

  • Diagnose crashes and defects through technical analysis of stack traces, logs, and runtime signals to identify failure points and impacted systems.

  • Perform root cause analysis by synthesizing crash data, reproduction context, and system behavior to explain why failures occur.

  • Investigate complex or recurring issues through forensic analysis of execution paths, regressions, and system boundaries.

  • Interpret observability data to understand system behavior and identify gaps in logging or instrumentation that block diagnosis.

  • Attribute issues to the correct codebase, service, or tooling surface using evidence, and clearly communicate findings and recommended next steps.

• Identify opportunities to improve development processes and product quality, and provide clear, actionable recommendations.

• Solve complex quality challenges by evolving best practices and introducing new approaches to risk identification and mitigation.

• Operate independently with minimal day-to-day direction, taking ownership of planning, execution, and follow-through of QA work.

• Continuously improve QA processes, tools, and practices to increase efficiency, effectiveness, and impact over time.

Required Qualifications

• Experience designing and executing test plans.

• Experience managing components of a defect database.

• Experience tasking remote testers and providing feedback on effectiveness.

• Experience working embedded with developers and content creators.
