Netflix job posting points to console expansion
A recent job listing over at Neftlix discovered by Gamaustra details the need for an Engineering Leader for Gaming Platforms. The listing states that all who apply should, ”expect to help build a small technology team to rapidly prototype and iterate on a variety of platforms.”
A variety of platforms, huh? Well, we saw the expansion of Netflix streaming to the Xbox 360 some time ago so who is to say that the Playstation 3, or even the Wii, couldn’t get the same treatment?
Rumors have been floating around that Netflix would be expanding it’s console streaming service to consoles other than the Xbox 360 for some time now. So, it only makes sense that this job listing would point to those rumors and give them a thumbs up.
But wait, maybe they are looking to take on services like OnLive and stream games right to the consoles? We can dream can’t we?
