Microsoft has posted 34 job openings in its Zune division alone. Is the company going all in on their troubled player...or drawing dead? It’s hiring time over at Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices Division (E&D), which has a pile of job openings in its Zune division. According to the Microsoft Web site, there are 34 openings for Zune, almost all posted since the beginning of January. Among the positions Microsoft is looking to fill: Program Manager (“Seeking a talented and highly motivated program manager to help us deliver systems to take in various forms of content (audio and video), encode and package them in the right format, and serve them up to the user with the appropriate DRM licenses.”) Development Manager (“This individual will lead a group of developers by providing technical leadership, project and schedule management, and at times strong individual contribution towards product development. This individual will work closely with the Program Management, Hardware Development, and Test teams to deliver the product.“)As well as any number of hardware engineering, software engineering, Q/A, marketing and channel operations help. This has “exodus” written all over it, but that could be dead wrong. It’s also possible that Microsoft is in the midst of a major build-out of the Zune team and throwing more resources at the product. The only ones who know for sure are current/former Zuners. Techwatch has its feelers out, but if you’ve heard anything, we’re all ears! Technology Industry
