Diversity & Inclusion Connecting to the mission.

Our mission is to make our experiences diverse and inclusive of all - starting with our teams.

Our mission is to explore the world, together. Together means all of us.

The work of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) is what helps us give meaning to the word “together” in our mission.

As we build the real-world metaverse, we must ensure that diverse perspectives are reflected, and that our products both reach and positively impact as many people on the planet as possible.

As Niantics, we strive to create an environment where each person can be the very best version of themselves. We know that this is only possible when we celebrate openness, value constructive dialog, and foster a culture that thrives on curiosity, and encourages creativity and innovation. We are the best versions of ourselves when we learn from, respect, and empower one another.

Initiative: Voyager Program

As Niantics, we saw a need to increase the pipeline of women and underrepresented in software engineering, so we eagerly developed a program to address the issue. The Voyager program, created in partnership with Engineering and Tech Elevator…provides 20 selected students (referred to as Voyager Explorers) with an opportunity to learn coding in Tech Elevator’s 14-week program. Top students from the 14-week training will be selected to become Apprentices. Voyager Apprentices will receive a 6-month (paid) opportunity to work in frontend web development. A select number of Apprentices will be extended a full-time, permanent offer to join Niantic’s engineering team. Those who are not invited to join Niantic as either Apprentices or for a full-time position will receive coaching and potential employment opportunities from Tech Elevator’s 700+ partners.

Niantic Beyond Reality Black Developers Initiative Niantic’s Black Developers Initiative is a program established to support, mentor and finance Black game development teams for the purpose of building real-world AR games. Our intention is to empower Black game/AR developers and provide access, resources and support so they can build amazing game experiences that inspire people to explore the world together.
