Most likely any artist looking at the following job listing knows Naughty Dog’s reputation for its graphics polish and detail. The main ingredient to this reputation is simply time consuming, meticulous work by elite individuals. For this reason we look for candidates with proven industry track records, who don’t shy away from challenges.
