Recently posted job listings indicate various companies, including Google and Time Warner, seek to develop social media applications for next-generation consoles.
Google Inc. posted a job listing seeking a "Game Console Software Engineer" to develop YouTube for next-generation game consoles. The job posting describes the position as experimenting with the YouTube user base, creating a console-based TV experience, and delivering monetization strategies including pay-per-stream and ads. While the listing does not list any specific next-generation system such as the Wii U, technical knowledge of current-generation systems is a requirement.
A job listing on Time Warner's web site seeks a manager to work with mobile, connected-TV and game console partners for HBO GO. Again, no next-generation consoles are specifically named, but Nintendo is listed as a key partner, possibly one that intends to launch HBO GO in the near future.
An older posting seeking a PHP Web Developer to work for LogicBomb Media also lists Nintendo as one of their clients. LBM is a company that specializes in mobile web and social media applications.
