For nearly 40 years, Naughty Dog has been crafting best-selling, critically acclaimed games that constantly push the boundaries of narrative, gameplay, and technology. We've been busy at the Kennel, most recently releasing The Last of Us Part I, a complete and faithful remake of the original game, rebuilt from the ground up and fully optimized for the PlayStation 5 and currently in development for PC. As a part of the Naughty Dog legacy, you'll be continuing the development of extraordinary and enduring experiences for a broad, global range of audiences.
Naughty Dog games have long been lauded for their evocative, character-driven stories and attention to detail. 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. We welcome diverse candidates and believe that a broad range of cultural and life experiences contribute to the overall well-being and success of the studio and the titles we craft together.

What you will do:
Develop the lighting scheme, color-palette, post-processing-fx, and general visual mood that turns unlit 3-D environment models into exciting and visually compelling 3D game environments
Work with modelers and texture/shader artists to optimize the visual look and run-time performance of the Environments
Work with outsource vendors and lighting artists, collaborating on visual looks, tech, training, and workflows both giving andย receiving feedback
Additional responsibilities may be assigned as needed
What skills you will use:
1-3 years of industry experience in Film or Games generating final picture
Has shipped at least one AAA game
Excellent competency in Autodesk Maya and knowledge of Global Illumination
Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work with minimal supervision
Thorough understanding of direct/indirect light, luminance / exposure and color-theory
Proven work experience with generating light-maps, pre-lighting or baked lighting is desired
As a part of the Naughty Dog application process, candidates will be expected to provide a portfolio or demo reel of their work and may be asked to complete an art test.
