This is a hybrid / onsite position.

For nearly 40 years, Naughty Dog has been crafting best-selling, critically acclaimed games that constantly push the boundaries of narrative, gameplay, and technology. Naughty Dog recently released The Last of Us Part II Remastered as well as a current generation remake of The Last of Us Part I for the PS5. We're also proud to say that The Last of Us Part I and Part II are now available for the first time on PC. Currently, we’re busy at the kennel working on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and we'd love to find talented individuals to join us!

We are committed to innovation within our games and as such have curated some of the top creative and technically innovative minds in the industry.

Take ownership of challenging projects and provide innovative solutions, including mentoring team members and creating documentation
Contribute to the strategic development of internal technologies and artistic processes
Facilitate the creation and implementation of tools and techniques that allow the building of complex and high-quality animation systems
Innovate and streamline animation pipeline processes and workflows

What skills you will use:

5+ years of industry experience in gameplay animation for games
Proven track record of creating visually stunning animations for diverse game genres
Full understanding of in-game animation tools like state machines, blend trees, IK solvers, etc.
Expertise with mocap and keyframe based digital content creation pipelines built on Maya or Motionbuilder
Proficiency in Python, C#, C++ or other programming languages is required
