Comme bien souvent, on en apprend de belles grâce aux petites annonces. Sur le site GamesOnDeck, au rayon Job, on peut remarquer plusieurs annonces de Microsoft recherchant tantôt des programmeurs, des ingénieurs de développement en rapport avec des développements de jeux.

Mais on y trouve aussi plusieurs annonces, notamment de Program Manager, Test Manager, Software Development Engineer in Test ou encore de Producer (j'ai pas traduit...) pour redonner une nouvelle expérience aux utilisateurs du LIVE.

Rien qu'avec la première phrase de la description du job de Producer ci-dessous, on peut presque en déduire qu'il y aura une refonte du Live, du Dashboard, etc...

Description du poste de Producteur :

Want to be involved in the next release of Xbox? Join the server-backed games team, part of the Xbox LIVE team that's responsible for creating a completely new way for mainstream audiences to enjoy the Xbox and LIVE.

We're building the games, the console interface and logic, and the server support for a totally new LIVE experience. Both the games and the dashboard experience will be deeply paired with dynamic server support to create a compelling, fresh scenario each time.

We're a small, entrepreneurial team working together to get things done very quickly in an agile environment.

If you want to work in a space where you'll get all the responsibility you can swallow, and run as fast as you can, this team is for you.

We are looking for a passionate Games Producer to help implement our first generation games that will run in this new environment.
Specific job responsibilities include Managing internal and external development of the games, contract negotiation and management, technical design reviews and scheduling. You will also interact with our content team and help them bring their designs to life.

As we're a small team, we want independent people that are driven for results and able to wear multiple hats to get things done quickly.

Qualified candidates will have 2+ years of Production experience, good design skills and team management skills, as well as experience with client-server architectures and general game development.

Experience developing for Xbox, and Xbox LIVE are a plus. Good communication skills, independent drive, customer focus, ability to ramp up quickly on new technology, and driving for results are all expected.
