The Riot Operations Center (ROC) provides 24/7 live response for issues that impact our players. The ROC maintains three sites around the world to provide this coverage, and each site must be able to act independently while keeping its processes and direction aligned with those of the ROC as a whole. In the future, the ROC will increase the value it provides by taking over much of the technical triage and mitigation that is currently performed by game teams, resulting in faster incident resolution, and requiring a more engineering-focused culture in the ROC.
As a Manager, Software Engineering you will ensure that the Singapore ROC is providing high quality live response during its share of the ROC’s follow-the-sun coverage model. You will support the growth of the Rioters in the Singapore ROC as we grow an engineering mindset and skillset for the team. Additionally, you will make connections with other teams to understand how the ROC can best support them, and inform what work needs to be done to get us there.
You’re right for this role if the idea of growing a new kind of engineering team at Riot and coaching engineers to succeed excites you. You cultivate relationships to provide your team with the support it needs to execute and grow. You use iterative approaches to problems and know how to compromise between ideal solutions and practical outcomes. You believe that just because something is hard doesn’t mean it isn’t worth doing.
