Chelsea Blasko

Co-CEO

Building An Inclusive Culture On DEIA Foundations

Chelsea Blasko stands by Iron Galaxy’s value of “picking up a shovel” — the idea that every employee’s work and voice contribute to the company. This applies to its open culture of shifting roles and opportunities, as well as its inclusive policies. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, Blasko recognizes the power of intentional acts in establishing a DEIA-focused foundation. In that spirit, Iron Galaxy offers diversity scholarships at two universities, has established DEI protocols for processes such as resume and content reviews and trains managers to be coaches for personalized development.

I feel honored that so many of our employees feel comfortable sharing this aspect of themselves with us as a company.

Rejess Marshall

DEIA Lead

Developing Games That Better Represent The Players

Rejess Marshall is familiar with the DEIA problem in video games. “The industry has been scrutinized for lack of diverse hair options, leaving underrepresented groups struggling to create characters that look like their actual appearance,” she pointed out. An inclusive product is only possible with a diverse team, which is why Iron Galaxy’s ERGs are given a voice in the game development process, to ensure such components are integrated. New hires also go through touchpoints that reinforce the company’s position on inclusivity and belonging, including company-wide events and DEIA onboarding.

Research shows that diverse teams consistently outperform teams with less diversity.

Community Manager

Cultivating Belonging Through Diverse Experiences

ERGs are a core aspect of Iron Galaxy’s DEIA policies, one that Keenan Moralicz appreciates as an active participant himself. He’s a member of both the Latinx and AAPI ERGs, and the events held by both organizations have enriched his sense of belonging. As a community manager, Moralicz’s also had the chance to interview fellow employees about their experiences — in and out of the gaming industry — for the company’s internal blog. What he found was a community of diverse perspectives he hasn’t found anywhere else.

As someone who’s mixed ethnicity-wise, I’ve had trouble sometimes connecting with certain cultures. Here, I am welcomed with open arms.

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

As an Engineer at Iron Galaxy, I spend most of my time working with artists and designers. UI is a very collaborative area and requires input from just about everyone. Audio, localization, and monetization play a huge role in how UI functions. Collaboration is the best part of being a dev because it takes input from all groups to make great games!

Joe

UI Engineer

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I started my career at Iron Galaxy as an individual contributor working on UI, AI, graphics, and build systems for mobile, console, and PC games. When I became a lead, I started with smaller teams and now I'm a client-side engineering lead. IG has a huge variety of projects it’s a great place to level up as a game developer.

Alicia

Client-side Engineer

How do your team's ideas influence the company's direction?

At Iron Galaxy Studios, we slice every decision against the razor of our core values, and the first and most important value here is People. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to bring ideas or ask any questions, and then we have an open dialogue where we hash it out, explain what we’re thinking, and how we got there, then push forward as a team.

Shekhar

Head of Strategy

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

The teams at Iron Galaxy actively work to increase diversity every day. This is a challenging task, but we are confident that our efforts make a positive impact. We’ve developed strategies to increase the hiring of underrepresented groups and strive to create a more inclusive work environment for all employees.
