2011年にGoogle で設立され、任天堂株式会社、株式会社 ポケモン、Alsop Louie Partners などの心強い投資家のサポートを受けて、2015年に独立しました。現在Nianticが提供するコンシューマー向けタイトルには、世界をコントロールすることをテーマにした先駆的なゲーム「Ingress」、記録やぶりのAR ゲーム「Pokémon GO」、「Pikmin Bloom」などがあります。また、2021年11月には、開発者向けAR プラットフォームである Lightship の提供を開始しました。

Niantic は雇用機会均等雇用者です。Niantic の製品を愛してくださっているコミュニティの皆様に喜んで頂ける製品・サービスをつくるにはまず、全ての社員を支え、それぞれが自分の安全な居場所があることを実感できる環境を作ることが必要不可欠であると確信しています。このミッションのためにはテクノロジー業界において過小評価されてきた人材もふくめ、積極的に多様性(ダイバーシティー)を反映する人を募集し、採用することを重視しています。これはNianticの価値観においてもっともコアなものだと考えています。

私たちは、毎日わくわくしながら、知的好奇心をもち、課題解決への情熱を大切に、楽しく仕事に取り組んでいます。Niantic は、サンフランシスコ、サニーベール、ベルビュー、ロサンゼルス、ロンドン、東京、ハンブルグ、チューリッヒの各都市にオフィスを持ち、それぞれで採用を広げています。

Niantic is the world’s leading AR technology company, sparking creative and engaging journeys in the real world. Our products inspire outdoor exploration, exercise, and meaningful social interaction.

Originally formed at Google in 2011, we became an independent company in 2015 with a strong group of investors including Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, and Alsop Louie Partners. Our current consumer titles include pioneering global-control game Ingress, record-breaking AR game Pokémon GO, and Pikmin Bloom. In November 2021, we launched our developer platform, Lightship, enabling creators to build immersive AR experiences around the globe. Niantic is an Equal Opportunity employer.

We believe that cultivating a workplace where our people are supported and included is essential to creating great products our community will love. Our mission emphasizes seeking and hiring diverse voices, including those who are traditionally underrepresented in the technology industry, and we consider this to be one of the most important values we hold close.
