I was invited to apply as a candidate after meeting the Riot team at GDC San Francisco in 2011.

The interview process for the game tech team lasted a few months and included:

• A "weed-out" programming test
• Two phone interviews
• An onsite interview

The phone interviews were extremely technical and delved into my abilities as an engineer right off the bat.

The onsite interview lasted approximately 7 hours and included lunch, along with several pair/solo interviews with other engineers from the team. The questions were always very fair but tough, and often required a deep understanding of core principles in programming in order to come to a solution.

Definitely one of the harder interviews I have experienced, but still very fun.

I won't give any specific questions, but be sure to come in with a deep understanding and mastery of C++, computer science, and mathematics.
