Anti-Cheat Engineering Intern

Riot Games’ Anti-Cheat team protects the integrity of multiplayer games and helps create a fair experience for players. The intern will conduct research on how agentic AI affects software obfuscation and virtualization, improve research tools, and document findings to inform Anti-Cheat and client software protection. Responsibilities Work with Anti-Cheat engineers to scope and complete a bounded research project focused on AI-assisted analysis of obfuscated and virtualized codeBuild and improve AI harnesses that iteratively improve and challenge code-protection techniques to study the boundaries of their designDesign and run experiments that measure where AI systems succeed, struggle, or fail when reasoning about protected binariesResearch and evaluate techniques that make software obfuscation and virtualization more resilient to AI-assisted reverse engineeringReproduce and validate results, documenting experimental methods, evidence, limitations, and potential defensive implicationsCo
