UX Designer II - Teamfight Tactics (Contract)

Established in 2020, Riot Singapore is a game development studio focused on delivering great experiences to our players. We partner with our Los Angeles headquarters and Riot Games offices around the world to develop games such as League of Legends, Valorant, Teamfight Tactics, and 2XKO. UX Designers at Riot Games craft player experiences through strong systems thinking, interaction design, and player-centered problem solving. They collaborate closely with cross-disciplinary teams to shape usable, intuitive, and delightful experiences from concept through implementation.

As a UX Designer II (Contract) on the Teamfight Tactics team, you will help define and deliver in-game and around-game experiences for players across PC and mobile. You will work at the intersection of design, product thinking, and implementation, partnering with game designers, visual designers, engineers, producers, and QA throughout the production pipeline. This role is ideal for someone who can independently own meaningful areas of the player experience, navigate medium ambiguity, connect UX decisions to product goals, and translate complex requirements into clear, actionable design direction. You will be expected to drive feature-level UX from problem framing through implementation, balancing player empathy, business needs, and technical constraints while helping the team make better product decisions.

Please note that Riot Games does not offer relocation packages for this position. You need to be able to work legally in Singapore, without Riot Games' sponsorship, to be considered.

• Strong understanding of how UX decisions affect implementation, readability, responsiveness, and overall player experience.

• Experience designing UX for live-service games.
• Familiarity with Teamfight Tactics, League of Legends, or comparable competitive game ecosystems.
• Experience working on progression, events, store, social, acquisition, cosmetics, or other feature-rich player systems.
