When we're not too busy
trouncing Halo 3-developer Bungie in "humpday challenges," we fancy ourselves quite the career builders. And so it was with shock that we found ourselves colliding directly with the enormously popular franchise on
CareerBuilder.com, albeit under the auspices of
Halo license-owner Microsoft. Apparently the company is seeking folks who not only love
Halo but also love "building scalable online infrastructure and websites for large and passionate audiences."
What does that
mean, exactly? The listing doesn't go into as much details as we'd like, but it does say the job will blend, "console, web, and mobile to create an immersive
Halo world that follows the dedicated
Halo fan wherever they go." Our thoughts first went to
iPhone integration of
Bungie.net and future
Halo community endeavors but then we realized that Microsoft may want to keep whatever mobile application it may be creating on
Windows Mobile-based phones. We're hoping for our future-phone having selves that this isn't the case.
