Market research shows that some people from less-represented groups in gaming only apply if they meet all the requirements. But we want to encourage everyone to apply, even if they don't think they meet every single requirement. We believe having different perspectives and backgrounds is what helps our teams do their best.

We are committed to creating a safe working environment where a diverse mix of talented people come together to make great games for everyone and to increase diversity and inclusion in the game development industry.
