  • Experience working with serverless computing (e.g. AWS lambdas)
  • Working knowledge of HTML and CSS

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and choices that focus on your fellow Rioters, who are the customers of your work. Being a dedicated fan of games is not necessary for this position
