Naughty Dog is the developer of critically acclaimed and top-selling
titles including the Crash Bandicoot franchise, Jak and Daxter
franchise and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. We're a relatively small
team with a highly decentralized and collaborative work environment –
we value feedback about any aspect of our game development from any
of our team members. We're a tightly knit group and you can
frequently find us participating in yoga sessions in the office,
spending lunch playing out on the court basketball, foosball in our
lunchroom or around town in our frequent group evenings out. Since
Naughty Dog is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Computer
Entertainment America, we also get a lot of the perks that comes from
being in the Sony family – movie screenings on the Sony Pictures lots
and discounts on electronics, music, movies and PlayStation hardware
and software. Of course, you just can't beat our location. Naughty
Dog is based near the ocean – and beaches – in Santa Monica,
California, where beautiful weather and fair temperatures grace us
year-round.

We're constantly looking to expand our team with exceptional
individuals who have the drive to help us develop great video games.
We are constantly on the lookout for senior level candidates with
proven industry track records who don't shy away from challenges and
confidently feel they are among the best in their field. All of our
positions require a love of games, strong work ethic and excellent
communication skills. Due to our relatively small development staff,
firm deadlines and informal structure, each potential team member
should be a capable self-starter and able to manage their time and
tasks independently.
