Auroch Digital and Diversity

We've signed the UKie 'Raise the Game' pledge. At Auroch Digital, we recognise the positive value diversity brings to our industry. We know that there is an imbalance and diversity problem in games all over the world. We strive to do our bit to address the imbalance, promote equality, and challenge unfair discrimination. 

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds – people of any gender, of all ages, sexual orientations, nationalities, religions and beliefs.

We especially encourage applications from gender non-conforming folk, women, LGBTQIA+ folk, disabled, and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates, as these groups are underrepresented throughout the gaming industry.
