Microsoft Hiring Hacker For Next Xbox Experience?
In a job listing on Microsoft's site for a Service Engineer, the company describes their ideal candidate as someone who tends to "void the warranty on every device" they own, and make "devices do things never intended by the manufacturer."
"We are looking for a Senior Service Engineer to help define the next generation of entertainment devices and services, and to help ensure our customers have the best possible experience, even when things go wrong. Well-qualified candidates have extensive experience in running web-based services, deconstructing interaction between client and servers (via a combination of logging, network traces, and so on); have a good understanding of C# and/or PowerShell, and excellent ability to communicate verbally and on paper."
They do make references to the "next generation of entertainment," so it is probably safe to say that this is related Xbox 720 in some form.
Or, this could just be a move by Microsoft to enhance its security for the Xbox 720. Piracy and hacks have become almost too easy to do on the Xbox 360, so it's easy to think Microsoft would want to recruit some fresh knowledge in this area.

Brad- They're probably just trying to find hackers to try to hack their console, in order to fix the problems before they exist :)
They already have a few people like this also ;p

ReductionixMythXeCorrupt Seriously their they go making it hard for people who mod and hackers to hack the game, seriously is that all they care about is people playing legit.... What about people who enjoy exploiting games, and bside once u become a hacker and modder u not going to turn back ur back against your own kind.... And we will always find a way to hack a game...
Give me a break. You're getting mad that Microsfot wants to fend off the hackers on the new xbox. if someone really is that desperate and cannot play xbox without hacking then stick with the 360. And with Microsoft hiring skilled hackers then the whole always finding a way to hack the console may not happen.
Really wish people get off the hacking boner and let people actually enjoy the new system and games before ruining them.
Exactly, hacking is stupid in total.
The only good mods are mods that add content not make it super easy to complete. skyrim extra storyline mods are great.
