Riot Games, Los Angeles
Riot Games, Los Angeles
As an Anti-Cheat Engineering Intern, you’ll work with experienced Vanguard engineers on a summer research project exploring how agentic AI is changing the effectiveness of software obfuscation and virtualization. With mentorship from the team, you’ll use and improve research harnesses that iteratively challenge code-protection techniques, measure the boundaries of AI-assisted reverse engineering, and investigate methods for making protected code more resilient to AI analysis.
You’ll turn your findings into repeatable experiments, clear technical documentation, and make recommendations that inform the future of Anti-Cheat and client software protection.
For this role, you’ll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players. We’ll consider your studies and experience, as well as your personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about players’ experiences, this could be the role for you!
