Are you interested in using C# and .NET to improve the integrity and
performance of servers? Want to help create a new feature for Xenon not
available on any other platform? Microsoft Game Studios Publishing is
looking for an SDET with server experience to help design and implement the
new Xenon Title Server features, including: a spectator mode for many Xenon
games, Xbox TV - with tickers at the bottom of the screen featuring recent
high scores and game highlights, a tournament system, and tradable trophies.
Core technical challenges the team will face include: integrating networking
code with existing networking layers of many games, optimizing the SQL
server backend, working with restricted console memory, optimizing data
flow, designing and implementing scalable servers, and integrating several
systems into a single customer experience.
[^SOUNDS PRETTY COOL HUH?^ I THINK SO!]
As the lead, you will own creating a staffing plan to hire 3 - 4 more SDETs
as well as run technical reviews of the current functional and technical
specs. In addition, you will need to work with the development team to
design test tools to test the networking layer, in-game integration of
features, spectator and tournament systems on the title server, server
scalability, IIS, SQL, security, and Xbox Live integration. Because the
development team already has 4 developers, you will also be responsible for
starting to implement these systems as the rest of your team comes on line.
Requirements: Strong CS background and OS knowledge, C# and .NET experience,
excellent communication and interpersonal skills, great problem solving
skills, strong tester mentality or previous QA experience. Experience with
server architecture/design, including IIS, SQL, security and scalability.
Strong understanding of networking. Strong programming in C and C++ as well
as ability to work with C# projects. Strong application debugging, kernel de
bugging experience a plus. Dedication and willingness to learn. Ability to
work in a team environment and independently. BS or MS in Computer Science
or equivalent experience.

What do you think the current Xbox Live platform is ?
All Microsoft technologies. Doesn't seem too "dodgy"

Agreed. So far, Microsoft has the best online implementation of all
current generation consoles.

A: Because it disturbs the logical flow of a message.
Q: Why is top posting a sloppy form of writing?

| Hi Paul Angstrom (angstrom@go.away.spammers.invalid),
in the newsgroups
you posted:

|| current generation consoles.
I think it will continue to be the best, even after the next generation.
Xbox/Xbox Live were designed with online community in mind. The updates to
Xbox Live (3 major updates) have shown their direction. Even the "rumors"
about the next Live service for Xbox 2 seem to be next to phenomenal.
