Sound Designer II

Established in 2020, the Riot Singapore Studio is Riot's second international game development studio. Our mission is to "scale Riot's games to hyper-serve players." Riot has been expanding our footprint in Asia and accelerating our talent growth to develop games that deliver great experiences to our players.

We partner with our LA headquarters on game development for League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, Legends of Runeterra and VALORANT. Riot Singapore is seeking talented, passionate Rioters with backgrounds in all areas of game development to build games that make it better to be a player.

We're focused on working together to promote individual autonomy, ownership, collaboration, and inclusivity, so every Rioter can be their best while we boldly pursue games.

• Collaborate with external vendors to ensure high-quality asset delivery, providing feedback, aligning on creative goals, and supporting iteration cycles
• Support internal audio reviews and playtests, showcasing vendor work and refining your own content through daily feedback to meet Riot's quality bar
• Coordinate VO session logistics, including scheduling, file preparation, asset handoff, and alignment with brand or tone
• Use Wwise, game engines, and internal tools to prepare, test, and validate in-game assets
• Work cross-functionally with teams, video, and music to ensure thematic and audio consistency across features and touchpoints
• Contribute to pipeline clarity, helping improve process efficiency through documentation and cross-discipline communication

Required Qualifications:

• 3 years experience in sound design for games or interactive media
• A portfolio or reel showcasing clean, creative, and stylized sound design
• Familiarity with tools like Reaper, Pro Tools, Izotope, Waves, or similar plugins
• Hands-on experience with audio middleware (e.g., Wwise, FMOD) and game engines (Unreal, Unity, etc.)
• Comfortable working within a creative vision and managing your own tasks from start to finish
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, able to give and receive feedback clearly
• Able to stay flexible, adapt to change, and deliver high-quality work in a production environment

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience supporting live service games or cosmetic-driven pipelines
• Familiarity with Teamfight Tactics or the League of Legends IP
• Experience working with voice-over sessions or localization pipelines
• Background in working across multiple time zones or in cross-cultural vendor environments
• Familiarity with scripting languages (e.g., Lua) or audio tools development is a plus
