Research Scientist II

Tech Research performs applied research to accelerate the pace of building AI enabled applications for our game teams and to establish AI as a core capability at Riot.

As a Research Scientist II, you will work with an R&D game team to develop AI agents to play the game like a human at a high skill level. You will work on the end-to-end development of the agent as well as any infrastructure required to train the agent or integrate the agent into features required by the game teams.

Responsibilities:

• Propose, implement, and evaluate algorithms that can play games like a human at a high skill level
• Work with game teams to propose, define, and develop AI enabled features (e.g. practice opponents, metagame analysis, player coaching)
• Define and gather game state from the game server needed for training
• Optimize a distributed deep learning training infrastructure including algorithms, hyperparameters, CPU, memory, and I/O

Required Qualifications:

• MS in Computer Science or equivalent with 4+ years relevant experience or BS in Computer Science or equivalent with 6+ years relevant experience
• 2+ years experience in reinforcement learning
• Python
• PyTorch or TensorFlow...
