Hey there,

i just finished my school and thought "Better do something you love or loose at life." So here i am. But instead of just going into work at Riot Games, i would like to get a proper job training etc. The positions i saw at the riotgames.com website in the career tab all seemed to be aimed at already trained/atleast mildly experienced people.

So, i wanted to ask if there is any way for me to get an actual job training in Germany, or are you guys only hiring trained people?

I would be really happy about an official answer,

Good luck in the rift, Pascal Strauß (That means ostrich in german, i also run like one, might come into handy!)

It kind of depends, what sort of work are you interested in? Software engineering? Game design? Playtesting? QA? Art? In general, experienced applicants are a higher priority. However, for most job types, you can do a lot of self-education and build up a portfolio of projects to use when applying. For example, if you're interested in software engineering, you can build personal projects to put up on Github.

We do have some entry level positions sometimes (for example some of the engineers I've worked with came here as their first job after finishing college) but as for training you're kind of expected to self-train and learn by doing. Your coworkers will teach you, but it's not quite like being in school and going to classes.

You should ask this directly to a rioter
