🎓 Monthly learning
We want all Netspeakers to grow, experiment, learn, and develop while they’re here. Every month, we devote half a day to independent learning - setting time aside to read books, attend talks, try out new things, skill up via courses & more.

✨ Work together, play together
Our games are fun. Our workplace should be too! We’re a friendly bunch, always looking for a chance to do playful stuff as a team. We run D&D Thursdays, MTG lunches, and all Netspeakers are invited to play games together for the last hour of every Tuesday. (Expect frequent tasty treats through the post too!)
Remote first
What you bring to the table is way more important than where you sit at it. If you’ve got the stuff, you’re a Netspeaker - whether you’re working from home, our London office, your local hotdesk, or all three.
Diversity & inclusion
We’re committed to making Netspeak an equal & empowering workplace, for all.
Our internal D&I working group regularly explores ways we can better represent marginalised groups in our game, Sunshine Days. Meanwhile in the real world, we’re working hard to welcome and support staff from all backgrounds, races, beliefs, identities, sexualities & more.
We’re also dedicated to remaining open and transparent about what we’re doing to be inclusive at Netspeak, and what we still need to work on. Right now, we’re 60% female and minority genders, 30% LGBTQIA, and 20% BIPOC. Our senior team is 50% male/female and 8% BIPOC.
All work, all play
We’re an ambitious studio with big dreams! So pushing ourselves to do our best work is kind of a given. The pay-off? We really take care of our staff. Providing unlimited holiday, monthly learning sessions, early-finish Fridays & more 💛
