Senior Platform & Infrastructure Engineer MLBots
Hybrid Los Angeles, CA
As a Senior Platform & Infrastructure Engineer on the MLBots team, you will design, build, and operate the core infrastructure and ML platforms behind Riot's Game Understanding Agents. Your focus will be on the compute and orchestration platforms that power large-scale distributed training of Game Understanding Agents (e.g. via RL, IL, and other techniques), simulation environments, and policy evaluation, as well as the CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, observability, and developer tooling that keep these systems production-grade. You will close critical infrastructure gaps across the team's stack, driving improvements to standards, automation, and operational maturity. You will operate independently on multi-month work efforts and begin to influence technical direction beyond your immediate team.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.
