<p>Research Scientists at Riot combine deep technical expertise across machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), experimental design, and systems engineering to invent new ways players experience games. As a Principal Research Scientist, you operate at the frontier of what’s possible and set the standard for how research is conducted and how it translates into extraordinary gameplay.</p> <p>As a <strong>Principal Research Scientist </strong>in Tech Research, you will lead a small, cross-functional team focused on building AI-powered gameplay prototypes. These prototypes are not paper exercises, instead they are playable, opinionated explorations of new game mechanics, agent behaviors, and player experiences enabled by modern AI. You will be responsible for identifying promising research directions, translating them into concrete gameplay experiments, and driving them from early concept through working prototypes that influence game teams.
