Tom mentioned in IRC a few weeks ago that the Managed DirectX team was going to get some more resources to help out with documentation. Well it looks like there may be some other teams in the gaming groups looking for some managed code resources too. Before anyone asks if I am considering it, I have already talked to the hiring manager and though its a great sounding job I have (after much thought and I'm still not 100% sure) decided to continue on my current path. The position will be in developer support, meaning that you help other developers solve their problems. Submit your resume though the MS careers site.
Want to help the world’s leading game developers build better games for Microsoft gaming platforms, including Xbox and Windows? XNA, Microsoft’s newest development tool for game developers, is going to help developers do just that and the Game Developer Group needs you to become the expert resource. Engineers in this position will support internal and external game developers directly with the XNA build system, game runtime technology and libraries, workflow and content management tools, including future game development in C#. This position will also require engineers to debug and analyze game development problems and develop responsive solutions, as well as write sample code and technical whitepapers. Qualifications include excellent communication skills, strong analytical and problem solving skills, 3 years of windows or game programming experience in C/C++ and C#, and a passion for gaming.
